Add subframe connectors

Maybe add some lowering (stiffer) springs or just replace the fronts.
I have a set of 15" firebird wheels I put some good R compound tires on for track use only.
Yank out all the smog pump crap and disconnect the A/C.
Maybe a better set of gears... 3.55 or something.

THOUGHTS??? Am I insane for doing that to this car? I don't want to use the 2010. Something about tearing up a $37,000 car doesn't seem right to me.

All that sounds more than enough for a decent autox worthy car, can you get them all done before this Sunday???

I agree though, if you're actually going to autocross seriously the 89 would be a better idea than a brand new 35k+ Camaro to tear up at the track. I just have to see how bad I'll be on my baby this weekend

I think that anyone who wants to go to Turfway park on Sunday should roll together, how bada$$ would a couple Camaro's look on the way there and pulling in?

IROCanSS · 04-11-2011, 11:15 AM

I'm going to run it as is and get a baseline run then start adding slowly. I want to see how she's going to behave. She's a sassy bitch sometimes so before I go hog wild, I want to get her feet wet.

The car is OK stock but a little loose. I don't expect great runs. The front struts are soft and without subframe connectors, the 1-4 gen cars are really flexible. I do have the benefit of having a fixed roof (no ttop).

The stock brakes are fine. New pads and fluid 3000 miles ago. All I will do this week is change the oil.

Drew and I would loop up from the south off 471/275 so not really a good meeting spot.

We can discuss though. I think BumbleBeeAmigo is going and he's from West Chester or something.

Hmmm good point, I'll see if he responds to this thread. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you guys can still get at the airport exit and we could meet up at a gas station around there or something. Is anyone else coming, a friend of mine could be with me in his Scion Tc so we'll have to be nice.

IROCanSS · 04-11-2011, 11:49 AM

Lol, I'm sure the tC would give the IROC a fair run!

Well we will figure it out as it gets closer. Keep tabs on this thread.

ibeck · 04-11-2011, 11:54 AM

Alright, sounds good. I know, I'm afraid he's going to beat my time since he's a lot lighter than me!!

IROCanSS · 04-11-2011, 12:01 PM

What class you and he run in? I bet you are in different classes. The 2010 SS and the 89 IROC are both F-stock. Hardly seems fair but the SCCA folks say that the IROC may give a stock 2010 SS a run for it's money... I guess the 3rd gens are much lighter and handle very well... We shall see... Hope for nice weather!

cntryman77 · 04-11-2011, 12:21 PM

Jason, I have a buddy who had an IROC & used to race it...he swore by that car...they are beasts once you get them set up right & I believe they would whoop on a 2010
