I'm trying to figure out rod mounting points. I have a JDP tow hook on the passenger side, 2nd slot from outside. The slots on either side of the license plate is filled with obstacle warning devices that need to fire forward. Instant on device that needs clear forward view. I would prefer connecting the rods to the crash bar, not the plastic brace in the front bumper clip.

We weld directly to the crash bar. Our first retail client in Texas wanted to get a head start and did this. He'll have his parts tomorrow. The paint was barely dry when we were packaging them to ship. I hope they arrive in good condition.

Summit Point Raceway, West Virginia



We'll be at VIR with SSsoon October 25th and 26th and his beast of a Camaro. He'll be running fresh 325/30/19 rubber all a round. Spectators are welcome and the pits are open.

Pete, you should take that black SS to the track and blow out the cobwebs. It been texting me that it feels neglected having sat in the shop so long.

The new black aero does need to be tested

Video is a must. I'd be interested to see how it fares against SSSoons car. I realize he has the cubic advantage.

Wow, I have so much want with this splitter!

And I've always have wanted to have brake ducts...and I said I was done with my Camaro build...

GTR parts...or GTR parts and Camaro parts...decisions decisions

Oh Pete...here goes a sleepless night....what wheels and tires are those? Also, any more pictures of the brake ducting and routing?

How did you guys validate the aero to know it works laptime wise? Man, I would love to try that stuff out at grattan and see if it gains. By the way, that spoiler is not designed to take such a moment on it, it will crush against trunk, wear paint and deform the metal. Do something for reinforcement if you can, maybe triangulation pieces from back of wicker bill that glues to back of trunk. 3 of them should do fine.

When my client asked for a working aero package I told him that was not my area of expertise. He really wanted a functional custom aero package. So I started thinking. Another client had ordered a full carbon package from assorted vendors. That stack of carbon fiber included a splitter from a vendor that claimed it worked well. I thought, what the heck and knocked off an aluminum copy. I drove the car at speeds up to 170 MPH and could not feel a difference, especially under a certain set of 150 MPH plus undulations. The car still got light. In the interim a Z/28 showed up. I took measurements and modified the blade to make it wider, longer and more square. The car felt planted over the undulations, much improved, but not glued. That lead to Version 3 which is wider, longer and includes the fender flares / canards. Back to the same 150 MPH plus undulations We have sparks flying from the exhaust and the car felt glued to the road. GLUED.

At the same time, the rear blade grew taller. I am AMAZED that blade has not ripped the factory spoiler off the car. In fact, I told my client I don't think the rear spoiler can carry the load. To date it has held up in testing and his track days. Apparently the designers at GM have a HUGE safety factor built in to the rear spoiler design. HUGE.

I very much appreciate your comments. Many of the things I do with the 5th Gen are way outside OE parameters. Some, like your spoiler comment, are expected. Others catch me by surprise. Some I guess at and later get confirmed by a post or a PM. The one thing I have done and it has served me well on occasion is go ahead and test what I have been told will not work. Most of the time the GM information is dead nuts ball on accurate. Other times it works and works really well.

In summary on the V3 Aero Package, we have tested it at speeds up to 170 MPH and found it to have significantly improved vehicle dynamics on track. Wind tunnel tested with data, man I wish but with tunnel time at $2,000 and hour it is beyond my R&D budget. Do we think it works by seat of the pants and sparks flying - we do.

The wheels are Forgeline GA3R 19x11 and 19x11.5 with bolt on track ready center caps, TPMS sensors and lug nuts. Retail shipped in our continental 48 is about $7,900. These are the only wheels I know of to carry an ON TRACK WARRANTY for USE WITH SLICKS. My Forgeline pricing is very aggressive my clients builds. Very aggressive. I want my clients cars to perform at the highest possible level with the great confidence in safety and there is no better wheel at any price (IMO).

Thank you for participating in the C5 community. I look forward to meeting you at some future event.

Cant beat taking it to 170mph and some feedback on that rear not really flexing that much, I can respect that. By the way I didnt sleep much last night and probably the 10th time since last night I am looking at those pictures again.

That wheel price made me drop my iPad and scream out load man. Anything they do to prevent tire rotation like the z/28 wheels?

[Synner]

The Z28 spoiler comes with some spacer grommets to protect paint but you don't need to worry about deformation due to placement. It's very close to the edge so the structure and vertical edge are bracing the sheet metal already. If it were a big wing that mounts further forward then you'd be crushing sheet metal or ripping the front bolts out.

Tire rotation on the Forgeline wheels doesn't seem to be an issue, but I can't say why.
