And this is 'Scarlett'....

My 1st car was a '69 Camaro SS. 3 kids and several minivans later, I finally am back driving a Camaro again. I thought I would "ease" back into the game with a V6, but my next "fun car" will have to be a V8!

Going to a 2010 SS that handled like a pig was very hard. Hence the suspension upgrades!

Nice list! When I had my 1995 Z28 Camaro I always wanted the TransAm WS6.

Not really. LOL!

It's hard to get a 4000lbs car to feel like one that weighs 2600lbs. I'd say the biggest difference is the steering feel. With the FRS on a road course, you get much more feedback in the steering wheel when pushing the car to the limit. The SS has none of that feedback. I'm hoping that my new rack bushing and radius arm bushing will help with that.

From a handling perspective the upgrades made a massive difference on the race track and autocross. Understeer is virtually gone. The car rotates well and is very predictable and controllable with the throttle when the rear steps out.

On the track, I can keep up with an 86 now in the corners and lay waste to them in the straights at least.

Technically it would be my '08 TrailBlazer, but I still have two of my previous new cars in attendance.

'08 Nissan Frontier. I'd traded my '04 GTO for it, drove the truck for about 4 years, then had to get back in a fun car again.

Had a Jeep Cherokee, Chevy Silverado, Honda Accord, & now onto the camaro.

The Honda taught me a lot but I was happy to get out of that vehicle. Sold it with only 53k miles.
