What.. did you miss the compliment on how well the Camaro did?

Or was it that I put in the problem with the 'Vette?

It's so easy to misunderstood on the net.

There are no excuses in racing. You win or lose. I wouldn't of picked the Speedtech Camaro over that vette with 4 plug wires in the trunk prior. The RS boys should of put some sliders on that seat. I'm sure that will be changed very soon.

The coolest part of that event wasn't the cars that we expected to do good. After all, we all knew the RS Vette would do great. The shockers were the cars that had weight against them. Like the big-block Camaro and the 57 Wagon. Both of those did outstanding in the autocross.

Lighten up the Camaro a bit and it would be even faster

And yea, it's the RS shop's fault for how the car was built from an egonomics standpoint, but I guess the important part is that it fits the owner. We had to shoehorn Mary into it. lol

Thumbs up

They're both winners in my book. I mean, how can you go wrong with either car?? They both look great, handle great and are true auto-x cars.
Congrats to Speed-Tech.
