2013 V6 Camaro Track Upgrades
I am currently researching ways to get my V6 2013 Camaro ready for the track. The easy part is removing the speed limiter, now on to the fun stuff. I need to know what suspension to upgrade to, what type of tires to get, what type of rims, and anything else that I might be missing. The idea is for my car to be a sleeper and look as unassuming as possible when I get to the track. I would like to still be able to cruise in my car outside of the track so no over the top suggestions please (side note - this is only for amateur racing events on closed courses, no street racing suggestions). I have already started saving up for a twin turbo, one small and one big.
This is not a rush job, I want everything to be done right so I can cross the finish line in one piece. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. If you need more information from me, just ask. |

I also have a white v6 and am interested to see what type of mods you do. I had the same idea about making it a sleeper.

Sway bars and endlinks would be my first, I have sway bars and the car is planted in turns.

Chevrolet Performance now offers a variety of street-level performance parts for the Camaro, both V8 AND V6, including the 1LE suspension system, ZL1 brakes, SS brakes for V6 Camaros, the underhood crosstower brace and more.
Best of all, unlike aftermarket parts these components won't void your factory warranty and they are designed, engineered and validated by the team that engineered your Camaro. The Camaro community asked for these parts and Chevrolet listened! You can download the Chevrolet Performance catalog at: http://www.chevroletperformance.com/Parts/catalog.jsp |

I think the SS brake kit is available from Chevy Performance if the ZL1 kit is too much. |

Read this... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90270&highlight=pedders+5th+gen+b ook
There is a ton of useful info in there that will set you straight. Also don't worry about the strut tower brace they're near useless on our cars. Focus on sways, endlinks, coil overs (recommended) or springs and wheels and tires. Also when you say track I am assuming you mean road course not drag.
