Default 1st time at the track with the camaro

Went to Etown last night (took 3.5hrs to get there because of a 14 car fatal accident on south jersey tpke). This is the 2nd time I've driven a car at Etown, 1st car was my srt-4 which just completely failed. This car was a good 1000000000 times better to drive on a track lol. I still have a lot of stuff to learn and work on.



I really need to work on my launches and need a shift light to get my shifts down pat.

1st run I launched like a panzy and revv'd 2 or 3rd out (or both can't remember)

2nd run I launched much better but spun and shifted early

3rd run I launched like **** again but shifted better


Car 701 (left lane each time)

What mods are done? Looks like a solid 12sec car once you get the 60ft down.

Get you some good sticky tires and get that 60' down, and you will be good to go.

Yeah, with those mods you should be running quite a bit faster than what you did. A lil practice will get you there. Nice job.

Well that would explain why you're trapping the same as brian did with that car with the stock heads/cam and less exhaust lol.

Man you need some practice. Street tires and a 6 speed will not get you where you should be. You've got 11 second power, and a 13 second timeslip.

Yeah definitely need some more seat time. I'm also going to be getting a ORY and just dumping it before the axle. Right now I have the true duals with strano springs but had to put a 1.5" spacer under the rear springs. Hopefully when I get the new ORY I can re-lower my car.
