Is this at the FIRM? What was the best time the car ran?
Thanks. |

I'm glad I read this. I bought this car specifically because I want to track it without worrying about it breaking and so that I could daily drive it. It was a decision between the SS 1LE and 981 Cayman GTS, but in the end new>used (+ the extra 115 HP helped!) . I haven't had it out to my local track yet (Barber) but I will in October. I can hardly wait to see what it can do. My last track day was in a track prepped E90 at the Nurburgring, so after reading how you like it more than your E46 I am feeling pretty damn happy with my decision. Too bad I can't take my 1LE to the ring.

Do you think you could flog it indefinitely at 10/10ths without anything (aside from the brakes and tires) overheating? I may be joining you guys if I can find a grey 1SS 1LE M6 around here. I used to go out to the Firm all the time - I think I have about 40 track days out there in total. Last edited by gbeaty; 07-27-2018 at 10:51 PM. |

The stock pads are actually quite good. Change the fluid to srf and go have fun. Tire wear with the track alignment is ok. I’m gonna grind the strut and slot the camber holes when i go 305 all around. Let me know when you’re out there! |

I agree with everyone else. I have a honda race car (currently broken) which is stupid fast. The camaro turns a second to two a lap faster than my race car. I also owned a fully modded ISF with headers, exhaust, track pads and fluid and Penske double adjustable race coilovers, and the camaro runs a couple of seconds a lap faster than that car too.
As of now, I have ran 6 track days and I have won the two weekend time attack competitions with fields of about 20-25 highly modified cars. My brother brought out a newer mustang GT on slicks with exhaust, springs, intake and a tune and he got close to me in times (half a second slower). I run with 500 wheel Evo and STI full blown caged race cars. This Camaro is nuts! |

Rookie track guy here. Went to Cresson, TX on Sunday. My first day on a track, ever. Wow this car made me look way better than I actually am. Lol. Another driver was there that had a brand new ZL1 1LE. It was his first time at a track as well. I caught him & kept up with him for the entire 20 minute session. I realize that he was NOT driving his car to it's full capability, but it was still a great experience. Even got to take my 17 year old son along for the rides, so I had an extra 200 lbs tagging along.
I love the quote in a previous post on this thread about "turning on cheat mode in a video game." Greatness! |

The ZL1 1LE has stickier tires and firmer shocks, the extra HP and Aero, will not make a big impact on a non-high speed track. Plus you have the lighter weight advantage. Taking nothing away from the ZL1 1LE, but the SS 1LE is not that far behind handling wise, unless you are on a track like The Ring.
