Miss those times as well. Here's another trip down memory lane.
2012 Camaro corral at the Glen Sahlen's weekend. It was the one where John Fitzgerald, the Marketing Manager for Corvette and Camaro Racing brought the soon to be released ZL1 vert show car to the corral and hung out with us for the day.

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been active on here, the last year has been crazy. Anything going on this summer?

Hey all! It makes me sad how this thread has really died out. I know life goes on, and everybody gets busy. But I hope a few of you are still active. Let's kickstart some conversation:
I'll go first. No winter mods planned, 2023 has not been kind to budgets and so I was happy to just make it through the season enjoying the car at a few meets, cruises, and at the track in the fall. At some point I'll get this bugger into the 10s while it's still naturally aspirated, and then I'll look towards a centrifugal supercharger... but it won't be next year. I'd love to see us get a group to meet up and cruise to the Glen for some paced laps. I'm not sure it would be what it used to be, but it's a great time regardless, and sure does dredge up some nice UpstateC5 memories. I'd also love to get you guys out to the drag-strip. It may be a little intimidating to some, but it's really not a big deal, and it's an absolute blast learning what your car is capable of. I'd be a happy and willing coach to anybody interested - I'm by no means a pro, but I've been at it for a lot of years now and know my way around both the track and what it takes to get our variety of car down in one piece and quickly. We had a small contingent of 5th gens at the Syracuse National's this year, and it was great to be there with some 5th gen friends. I'd love to see that grow and would be happy to help coordinate that as the time gets closer. I hope some of ya'll chime in with updates. And have a very Merry Chirstmas!

No upgrades planned this winter. Car is tucked away on the lift. Watkins Glenn sounds like a great time! Never dragged but willing to give it a shot.
Have been thinking about tuning out the AFM in the spring. I currently have electronic things doing the job (AFM disabler and throttle controller). Any suggestions on tuning shops around the Utica area? Happy Holidays to everyone!

I believe Andrew has a shop he likes near Utica, I have not been on the Watkins Glenn track since 2014 or 15 I would like to go back and with a bunch of Camaros it would be better.

They do pretty much everything - but they do not do rear end setups. I commend them on knowing where to draw the line, that's a bit of a specialty job for these cars. They do excellent dyno work, I would say that's probably their single biggest "talent" - their tuning is second to none. Anybody can make horsepower, but they will comb through all of the driveability items, leaving no stone unturned to maximize that as well.
