Basically, I can't overcome the push in the Camaro to the point that I'm happy. It is plenty fast, don't get me wrong. I've come in second fastest behind Maier and Hobaugh at the last two SoCal Challenge events, but the car isn't easy to drive. It has absurd power but in order to use that power I need tune the car to be a bit tight, and I give up a lot of time on corner entry in 90 degree or tighter turns. At the end of the I just caved and bought wider fiberglass fenders so that I can run a 295 or 315 front tire. Now I have to repaint half the car because Dick and the BOS boys don't want some ****ty looking purple car with their name on it rolling up to SEMA with unpainted black gelcoat fenders.
Matt,
Did the Bos guys want you to go fiberglass? I assume you would have a cleaner look with reshaping new metal re-pops... I'm sure it will look good either way.
