How tough are our new camaros ?

Just as the title says, How tough are our new camaros ?

How many miles on your car? Is it an A6 or M6? How Many drag runs have you done? What has broke ? What breaks? (nothing broken is good!)

I think you mean tough. But I've done about 20-30 runs and nothing has broken and I drive it pretty hard on the street too from time to time.

How are your tires? Mine are holding up better than I thought they would.

My new Camaro has been driven harder in 3000 miles than I drove my 69 Camaro in 128,000 so I think it's going to hold up!

what kind of tires are you putting on there after the first set of stock perilles (dont think i spelled that right) i want to buy some tires that are a little cheaper than the stock P zeros.
