One more comment:

I found it necessary to turn off all the TC/AH systems to get the car to allow me to drive it hard. The first time I came in the rear brakes were smoking hot from the computer trying to control the slides I was trying to induce. The track starter suggested I go back out and do a second cool-down lap!

This is accomplished the same way as in my Corvette C6 Z06. Hold the TC/AH buttom down for 5-6 seconds and two lights are illuminated in the dash. Make sure you know what you are doing before playing around with this...

FWIW I always turn off all these systems when driving my car on the track but always leave them on for the street.

I agree. The 19'' polished are much better!

Good video!

The Katech Track Attack was awesome!!!! That video turned out great Dean!

Here are some pictures

The Camaro has a lot of potential suspension wise. The most notable attribute to the 5th Gen is the soft suspension and massive body roll. With a lowered ride height (about 3"), increased spring rate and stiffer adjustable sway bars this car is going to be fun to drive! The control arm bushings also allow a lot of deflection and it creates unwanted Camber change

We're getting very close to having our Coilover/Strut Package; they will be Inverted and the adjustments will be done from the bottom. I will do a post the shows the products we're developing; we have a lot of awesome innovations and performance solutions for the 2010 Camaro!

Thanks to Katech for putting on an awesome event and we're already looking forward to next year!
