Spirited Driving

Today I really pushed the cars stock suspension and engine and I must say... WOW! Even for a 6 banger, my heart was pumping so hard from the adrenaline I had to stop just to settle down. I dont know what force the LT can get to but I had the tires skid a little I went so hard around a corner!

Just had to share that because it was such an amazing experience and made me fall in love with my car even more. Definitely keeping and I guess I'll be forking out the dough for a turbo. Man!

Take your camaro to an open track day at a local road course track and see how the car really performs....

Even take it to autocross event in your area...

Head out lake mead towards valley of fire state park, that's a pretty good section of road, go early in the morning, watch for the motorcycles....

I've actually taken that route a few times before my ninja 300 got totaled. It will definitely be a whole new experience cruising along lake shore drive with my new car. Thank you for giving me an idea of what to do on my day off.

Las Vegas and the surrounding area has many two lane roads that are extremely fun to drive. My daily commute takes me down to the Hoover dam and the lake route isn't too far off from me either. Also red rock and mt. Charleston are some awesome drives around the area too.
