NOLA
I went to NOLA on the 16th
the first time out it was a bit daunting how fast the track was. i met some great folks, one was an instructor down from MS. he rode with me on the 3rd session Sat and helped with some pointers. on the 4th session, i shaved 3 seconds off of my times. i got down to a 2:03 overall a great time and beautiful weather

So how do you rank NOLA against MSR Houston or TWS?

Hey Baylor
I'm going to MSR next week, so I can't compare it. NOLA has high speeds, a nice series of esses.........all quite enjoyable. Only downside, and it is minimal, is at the end of the front straight it is fairly rough. Need to keep to the outside, have your passing done early. TWS has elevation changes, a good surface and is close to the house. All that is good. I will go back to NOLA again

Your car is awesome. My favorite color is Blue Ray Metallic How easy/hard are those seats to install ? And do you see an enormous drop in Oil temp once you installed the oil cooler ? I am questioning whether or not to get this because I am questioning whether or not leave my stock or add a supercharger and that could be a problem down the line.

2 bolts on each seat, easy. I found it easier if the seats were raised and slid forward. I put in the temp gauge at the same time as the cooler. But I sure feel better having it!

i got the materials list from mattyjam's thread and confirmed it with the supplier. i did not use as much of the MLV as i ordered (i did not hang it on the sides of the car, only the floor pan, tunnel and trunk). the other material quantities were spot on..........other than wanting 20 more tiles for the doors. to be truthful, i probably put too many of the tiles in the rest of the car. you only need 25% coverage ALSO: i could not get the roof liner out of the car, i felt as though i would bend it, so i rested it on the hand brake and rear package tray to work above it. here's a good thread that shows how to disassemble the doors http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130857 "More quiet, this time inside We are planning to drive the power tour this year. I decided that it would be more comfortable if I could quiet down the cabin a bit, no need to be silent like a tomb, but just take some of the edge off. Weve taken it on trips and we have to raise our voices to hold a conversation. So I did more research and came up with a plan to add some additional sound deadening to the cabin. (THX to mattyjman, good info here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287417 ) Ive never done anything like this before, so it should be quite an adventure. Placed the order and the bits are showing up at the house. Ill add pics and maybe a DIY. I think this will be a full week long project. List of materials: 70 CLD Tiles 1 Roll of Butyl Rope 121.5 sq ft of MLV 10 sheets of CCF 40 sq ft of Thinsulate 3 Packs of Velcro Strips 32 oz can of HH-66 vinyl cement 2in maple roller EDIT: needed 20 more tiles, i ran out before i could do the doors. ordered and expect delivery before the weekend"

Thanks for the info. I must have skipped right past post #32 when I was looking for your write-up. Not sure when I will be able to start on this project since I will probably be doing it solo and it's my DD. It's kinda hard to go 2 1/2 days without a car.

You can do portions over several weekends
It will only require a bit more planning and repeat disassembly

Just curious, do you know how much weight that added to your car? Quote:
And just buy a couple pairs of Peltors and I'll be set.

Guess? 100lbs
About the same as the jack and spare I carry around.........loosing weight helps, but seat time is more effective
