Not to mention that GLD is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday for test n tune and saturday and sunday have events (with some test n tune inbetween rounds) So we could go to the drag strip whenever we want. Road course has to be days they have set aside for test n tune or open sessions. That is why in my automotive circle I know everyone drag races, its cheaper and more convenient.

I do know a few that like to Auto X though, but not the same as getting on a road course
Got to pay to play! Plus consumables (fuel, oil, brake fluid, pads, tires) add up quick. Not to mention the wear and tear is demonstrable. This is why many of us dedicate a car for track use. Akin to dedicating a "winter beater" for you guys up north or "kid hauler" for suburbanites. All will wear far faster than normal lol

Should've been happening! There's nothing new about the 2015 Camaro's. And some are waiting til next month to see the 6th Gen. Can't believe it's almost time. Too bad the challenger couldn't beat the original 5th Gens but good for Dodge because I wanted them to sell alot of challenger's, just because I like them . I expect this to be the norm til the 6th Gen hit the lots of ppl see how it looks next month.

Read the capital letters. From the article:

Allison Performance Research & Integration Logistics, a division that works closely with the Formula Optimization & Outright Lap Sector teams to test cars on the track and improve lap times.*

Yeah I figured it out after I read the previous reply.

Oh well they might build it

I thought why would they put a 10,000 lb tranny in a performance car

a lot of transmissions show their torque input rating at a specific vehicle weight. That was just one of the few tidbits of real sounding information they sprinkled in to make it seem real
