Now I just need to take the car apart. Hoping to get a two week turn around once I ship it off.

Bryan, if your radiator is leaking more than an occasional drop from the filler neck, Ron Davis would probably like to see it as well, even if it is out of warrantee.

I just have to say, I was lucky enough to drive this thing recently. And I was able to drive the snot out of it. Matt has done a superb job of dialing this thing in and it was easy to flog around an autocross track at limits. So, good that within 3 runs I was able to match some of the fastest times of the day at the track.

Matt you have done a great job with this Camaro. It is easy to drive at limits. I just had to watch out how fast you could burn the rear tires with that 700hp on tap.

cheers and thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed driving it. Now I wish you had driven it before all the changes. It has been a fun process sorting it out, and trying all kinds of different parts, and trying to keep from losing any ground against you, whenever we go to local events. My goal all along has been to make the car easy to drive. Originally it was far too easy to lose control of it due a bad push, or get it into a four wheel drift with the power. It still doesn't break away as progressively as I want, but it has a ton of grip now and is probably good enough for me.

Matt, sounds like you are headed in the right direction for Optima. Good luck.

Matt, the Camaro looked very impressive at the last SCCA event and at the So Cal Challenge. I'm really getting excited to see it at Optima....

Thanks Tom! Everyone is getting faster, from the crazy mopar owners to the Maiers and Hobaughs of this world, and I don't want to be left in the dust. I'm sure I will be soon enough though.

Ah give yourself some credit. You've worked hard at it and put the time in. And it looks like you have some staying power.

I give it five, maybe ten more years, regardless of what we're driving until the hot shoes' kids are beating up on us. Last time I saw the Maier family their youngest was getting a custom fit helmet to her tiny HANS device. It's a good thing Todd sold his car when he did. I don't think his ego could handle the future of pro touring track days.

Congrats on such huge improvements brother. I bet it feels great to be as fast as you are now! Amazing from even just a year ago isn't it? I have so much ground to cover now---LOL.

Will be at Optima to cheer you and Brett on.

I heard a rumor that El Toro may be down and out with a new developer on site. I wonder if we might be losing our RTTC venue there.

No more Taco party---that hurts the most.

I'd just cheat like Dave.
