first time...

I am going to take my new Camaro to the track this weekend. I have a couple questions. Should I wait until the car is broke in more? It has 500 miles and I have not changed the oil yet. This is my first AT, my last Camaro was a LS3 and I knew how to manage the launch etc... Any recomendations on where I can go to get some education on how to race this car. Thanks

i took mine to the track at like 600 miles. so you should be good there. it is a good idea to change the oil before you go just incase. but as far as racing the l99 a6, its pretty much point and shoot. doesn't spin at all.

i also tend to stall it up to ~1000 rpms for the launch
