You are welcome! That's my idea of Sunday driving!

Thanks for the steak today Scott. Can't wait to see the paint work. This was the attempted drifting corner. It wasn't the boot. Skip to 12:42 see the drift-fail. And of course 2:55. When Brian almost rear ended me in the boot... in the boot. All while getting yelled at by my co-pilot to slow down and how hard it was to hold on with armour all over the place. Ignoring the last two rules of the shotgun seating positon. sd,ho&stfu! I may have added the "tf".

Thanks, it was great fun trying, ultimately we where simply out-classed as you impressed me with your skilz.
The way Chris roared up behind me a few times, I wasn't shure if he wanted to pass or was just trying to help me keep up.
This is my first "muscle car" and I'm learning as I go. In my 20's I drove (and modded) "party" vans. 30's and 40's - SUV's. Our other car is a 2011 Dark Blue Metallic 2LT Traverse. In the spring I traded my 2009 Black Granite Metallic 2LT Traverse (I love metallic black, and yes, we had 2 Traverses) for the Camaro in a spasm of mid-life crisis. Happy 50th Birthday to me!
If I could start over with what I've learned so far, it might be different. But Ive grown to my car for what it is, and intend to make it the best I can afford it to be. There are options for me to close the "keep up with" gap. Forced induction is on the list, but a ways down the road.

SSMike - you are right, my car starts at 135 lbs heavier than yours! At the same trim level, a vert is 254/256 lbs heavier than a coupe.

Published curb weights, low to high:
LT Coupe = 3741 lbs.
SS Coupe = 3860 lbs.
LT Vert = 3995 lbs.
SS Vert = 4116 lbs.

I think you did a great job keeping up!!! Even though its a 6 you still have some get up and go!!!!!! Sorry if I scared you at all. Was just having fun. Although couldn't break into the 120 range. Still a few shy maybe next run!! Speaking of which its supposed to be nice next Sunday mike!! maybe one more?

I'm not a fan of our cars weight. I hope the 6th GEN is a little lighter, say around 400lbs.

Ron is weight really an issue when you pushing 600 at the wheels?!!!

[Ron_Robinson1]

Well kinda, it has good weight displacement, but their definitely heavier than my other FASTER cars I had. But I also wish It was a straight axel....I'm just complaining I guess. But I had 92 GT 5.0 with a 331 stroker motor, f1 blower, ARF heads making 650 rwhp that was running 10.80s all day long. That's shifting gears. 2800lbs and a straight axel.

5.0s today are still 300lbs lighter/ less horsepower and still beating us. I just hope the 6th gens are lighter.

And I really hope 600+ rwhp keeps me content for awhile.
