Nice vid Todd. Awesome you had your parents there. My mom doesn't like me driving even 80 cruising on the freeway. "SLOW DOWN!" :willy:

I now live vicariously thru you and many others here. :cheers:

Awesome stuff Todd. :thumbsup: That is a sweet track, looks like some higher speeds for sure.

So what is your impression of the lighter weight from the new motor?

that thing is awsum.it gave me goose bumps watching.how much power to the wheels?hats off bro:thumbsup:

:cheers: I definitely felt like it hard more front bite especially in the slower corners. The over steer certainly didn't hurt that either. I've made the car 5 times harder to drive with the extra power that comes much faster and the over steer. It's made the car alot more fun to drive. Before it had understeer like most factory cars do. It was predictable, if you were to hot you simply let off the throttle. Now I just have to saw the wheel. The looseness let's be snake around some cones I would hit before. I'll be looking for a more neutral setting in the coming events. It's safe to say it will be more neutral for the El Toro road course. In fact it may get disconnected since I don't have much experience and would rather play it safe. Depending on autocross setup it may very well be this loose for that portion. I don't have time to test it out before hand. It should have around 550 RWHP&TQ. It's just got killer average torque all the way from 2500-6800. Really happy with my new power plant. It's getting horrible gas mileage but the drivability is good. Of course I wasn't exactly ***** footing it on the way home either. Couple 50-105mph blasts around cars on the lake road.

Very cool... nice vids!

At some future event we should trade cars for a few laps.. would love to try it out with the new big block.

One thing though.. you said the car now has oversteer and that you need to tighten the bar. If you mean that as "make it stiffer" then won't that add in even more oversteer?

Good job at the autocross and with representing us old Camaros.. :thumbsup:

Is it ready for a photoshoot yet???

Vegas69 03-28-2010 08:33 AM

That would be fun Steve. :thumbsup: I'm game. The car is 99.9% ready for a photoshoot. I have a set of Marquez tails ordered in matte black and should have them at El Toro.(In my hands) I'll be there on Thursday since I'm taking the driving school Friday. You let me know.

I need to move the sway bar into the end hole to lighten the bar. I had it in the cener hole for the race. I can't imagine needing the stiffest hole except maybe on a Good Guys autocross. :unibrow: I also found out my cheapo tire gauge reads 5 psi high. I had 28/26 psi in the tires.:lol: Not enough! I need to get me a quality gauge.

Steve1968LS2 03-28-2010 08:39 AM

After El Toro you should just leave the car down here for the Del Mar GG show.. I can find you a safe place to keep her.

Beats hauling it back and fourth.. just an idea :yes:
