I have done the SCCA school, and two events in the camaro. There is more of a learning curve to driving those courses than I thought there would be, but it is fun.

Any issues with judging those sharp tight little turns? I know there are times in my daily driving that it is darn near impossible to see/ judge the car when you are making these types of turns.

Agent - Have you tried an event yet?

Once you do it you can see what a great car the Camaro is and that turning is an issue. I have a Pfadt plan to over come the stock turning shortfalls.

Jump in ! It is a lot of fun

No, not yet. I am going to an intro class in August. After that I am going to hit several of the events late summer and fall.

I have put front and rear sway bars on my car. I hope that I do not get thrown into some sort of modified class

Do the Road Atl. event with NASA on Aug. 7th and 8th and you will learn alot about the car. Man your right there in Ga.

Hey Agent - You get the front sway and would still be able to stay stock. But since you changed the rear sway also it takes you out of stock.

Make some other changes to get better prepared or drop the rear sway to stay in stock class.

I would seriously recommend lowering your car ASAP especially since you are out of stock class already.
