I wanna go to the track - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 09:00 AM

I've never raced before, but I want to take my car to the track. I think there's one in Baytown so I'll have to research that.

Advice? Tips? Anyone up for going out & watching me trash my new camaro.

A6 or M6...that will effect the advice you need

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 09:07 AM

M6 & I'm not very good with it yet so I'll probably get laughed at. I mostly miss the 2-3rd shift, but I'm working on it.

I just wanna go for fun. Most likely won't put down any amazing times, but I need the practice without the worry of a ticket. Even a deserted backroad might have a cop hiding out so I haven't played much.

We should be going out there Friday we can give you some tips just call the shop and I will tell you were to meet us.

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 10:08 AM

Will do. If I stink it up out there, will you drive it for me so I can see what the car will do? lol

Robert@G-Force · 07-20-2009, 10:15 AM

You'll be fine its easier than you think. We have our shop car here and we have all taken turns making hits the car, it actually is easy to launch we'll have you looking like a Pro Stock driver in no time.

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 10:17 AM

Well crap. I'm out for the track time. I can't afford $500 for a tune right now & with my check engine light on, I have to park the car until I can afford the tune so I don't mess anything up.

Robert@G-Force · 07-20-2009, 10:20 AM

Its probably just an O2 code, and its not detrimental to the car you can still run it.

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 10:27 AM

The code reader when I went to autozone said MAF related. I wouldn't be too scared to drive it except it acts like it sputters or something when I drive a constant speed. Plus, no need to go test at the track unless I can take full advantage of my bolt on upgrades.

Why couldn't a tune only be $300. I probably could have made that happen.

Soon though. I really want to see what it'll do at the track.

Robert@G-Force · 07-20-2009, 10:33 AM

If you want bring it in and we can look at it. Also what CAI do you have?

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 10:36 AM

New era CAI & doug thorley shortie headers. I may have to give you a call later. If nothing else to give me the piece of mind that I'm not burning something up.

Deltaskier · 07-20-2009, 11:22 AM

Well, I went to lunch in the car & the engine light went away. Your shop is on my way home from work, so maybe I can stop by & bs with you guys some time. What are your hours?

Robert@G-Force · 07-20-2009, 12:49 PM
