Very cool! Feel free to shoo me off, but just wondering if you had to modify anything? I'm guessing it required your coilovers for clearance but anything else have to get tweaked?

Are you able to reprogram the speedometer so it's accurate?

![]() Bring it out to Miller Motorsports Park for NASA Nationals and we'll run you in our ST1 Z06. The engine is basically stock aside from Headers, Intake and Exhaust. It would be interesting to say the least. ![]() Have a great weekend Mike! ![]() |

when you have time, can you educate me on why wider rears than fronts increases understeer? I'd like to learn why this happens. Can't wait to see the details. ![]()

With your Corvette experience, I am sure you are aware of the setups for th GTR Vette. At the high speed track in NJ, we were able to get Pete's G8 within 1/2 second of their qualifying time there and we were running performance street tires, 275's on all 4 corners. So being able to beat a Z06 at Gingerman should be no problem. We already have the 2 drivers lined up, and are just waiting to for all the engine upgrades, wheels, and 305 tires for all 4 corners. Now a upgraded Z06 suspension, wheels and motor work is a all together different story. Now we will have to agree to disagree on what the optimum tire combo is in a max performance basis. On our last track testing, we did try splitting the tires, and in fact the corners had more understeer with the larger tires in the back. We did not, however, have the influence of sway bars. That will occur on our next track event. Take care. mike dms |

I say this because the tires you select have a very serious affect on the overall handling. We have learned this and will be eventually offering 2 different Xa packages to help fine tune the rear to complement the rear tires best as possible. Same thing will go with our sway bars. They tested out great, but we will bump them up and come up with multiple sway bar packages again to match upgrades. We have found that you can over bar the Camaro if you are doing them without upgrading srpings and dampers. What this means is you can reduce your handling, by increasing understeer by doing a front and rear sway bars without other upgrades. So a master plan that must include a budget, should be done before wheels and tires. I spend a lot of time helping guys thru this product. So far, the really great wheels out there that I have seen so far are pretty pricy. Hope this helps mike dms |
