I ordered my Camaro with the priority of performance first
1SS: Lighter weight, no frills
1LE: 'Nuff said
NPP: GM has an exhaust that is worthy of not having to be replaced by aftermarket? Hell Yeah.
Recaros: Worth every penny. I modded the driver's seat in my '95 Z28 for more side bolstering. It helped, but even with a CG Lock
http://www.cg-lock.com/autocross.html, I was not restrained. The Recaros work so well on the track that it was hours into my first event that I realized I wasn't holding myself in the seat like I was in the '95.
And having a bulged L4-5 disc, the proper seating position is critical to be pain free. The Recaros are also great there, no issues, even on a long trip. Perfection.
Since we have four other vehicles, the Camaro only comes out in nice conditions. But when it is nice, I drive it every chance I get. Since the purchase on June 2nd 2014 to November 11th I put 4000 miles on it. I guess you could say it is my daily driver weather permitting. I also had plans to take it to the track for road racing, not drag racing.
I am particular with mods (as most of us are) but I like to do them in a manner that is a bit under the radar. I like the thought of mods looking like they came from the factory, adds a certain symmetry to the entire package. But that will not limit me on options. And I do not want to crossover to mods that start to take too much driveability away. It sees more street time than track time. I guess that is coming with older age.
