I ask because with my new wheel/tire setup I'm consistently seeing 1.49g at Barber Motorsports Park. I know ZL1 1LEs hit those type of numbers but their oil requirements are different that what's...

We're up to nine 6th gen Camaros for the track day now! Lots of novice driver's signed up, too. I love seeing people new to track days getting into the sport.

Barber Motorsports in June

JTI is running their track weekend at Barber June 6 & 7! I was happy to see that it wasn't canceled. Anyone plan on going? I'll be there, but the only other Camaro I see registered so far is a 2018...

Glam, about how many inches do the fender flares stick out past the original fender? I'm wanting to do the same thing as you, but with my G8 instead of my 1LE. I've got 295s on the front without...

84136777 is the right part number. I got them a week after getting my 18' SS 1LE. You'll also want the third brake light, part number 84330249.

Viurniel is right. At Barber MSP the exhaust has to be below a certain noise threshold. 103dB maybe? I can't remember. Road ATL is the same way, and they do enforce it. They'll have to pay penalties...

Makatich is right! I've done track days with PCA and JTI and neither allow for 4 point harness, with the sole exception a Scroth that is vehicle specific (lucky Ford and Porsche guys!).

I am glad these are my track tires and not DD because these things are LOUD. They do stick well, though. On my favorite on ramp I usually can get the tail to kick out a bit for fun, but...
