I used a couple of very large parking lots and some quiet but public stretches of road The L/28 is so fast. what I thought was 30 to 80 turned out to be well into triple digits Ramps or corners

I need to borrow a ZR1 and bench mark them

First I'll agree with you and LD there is "NO" loyalty in business! As a matter of fact it's hard to find in a lot of places.

This L28 you speak of sounds sublime.

When you are lucky enough to do something you love it doesn't feel like work.

You have been around the forum and know there are countless 50K plus SS Camaro's running around and the number of 100K plus Camaros blows my mind. I was at a shop in Texas a few weeks ago surrounded by 5 or 6 1,000 plus RWHP Camaros, everyone of them into the six figures.

So where do these guys get all that money to burn? Are they well off or do they work for their car? A $100K+ SS may still only be worth $40-50K. It does amaze me too. I have about $5K in my car and I feel guilty. But it is fun.

I took my car up to the mountains last weekend to my friends cabin. Those HD Radius Rod Inserts you recommended and the rear outer trailing arm bushings has turned my SS into a slot car. My friends were so impressed I could do 130 foot arrow straight burnouts. I think I better price those 1LE axles once they are available. I guess I am having fun on the cheap.

They range from computer geeks to corporate sale to working on oil rigs.

Wow $100K. I'd have to look at a really nice GT40 replica for that $$$$$$.
