Autocrossing the Gen5 Camaro can be fun but there are some challenges involved. It's a rather large, high powered vehicle with difficult sight lines. I dabbled a bit in Auto X with my Z and I could never tell how close I was to the damned cones and while it was fun blasting around the course I just wasn't disciplined enough to hold back on the throttle and I constantly was trying to power (not finesse) my way through. In your case I would begin with the tire press at 30 psi, put the auto trans in second and use left foot breaking. Old school trick is to crayon the tires near the tread wear triangle and when the mark is worn to the top you're in the general vicinity of good pressure for the day. Don't be afraid to ask other guys with similar cars what they're doing. #1 rule: HAVE FUN!
