Production ended December 2023 (2024 model). Do they still have new 2024 Camaros on dealer lots? I haven't looked.

So maybe it would be competition if GM had decided to compete, but they didn't. There is no GM pony car competition for the S650.

Great video. Thanks for posting. With those alignment settings, are you driving your car to the track or trailering it?

Wow, is 15% legal in Arizona? UPDATE: Nope, 33% minimum required. How do you keep the police from pulling you over every time they see you?

The Camaro no longer being manufactured makes it not really competition anymore.

Curious what the dealer said and what you ended up doing with respect to cats.

You have a manual. Downshift. Peak torque is at 4,900 rpm, so maybe start around there, try to get it around 5000 rpm or so. As you get used to the car, that will be almost automatic without too much thought about the proper gear selection. If you are driving WOT, I cannot think of a good...

I tracked my Dark Horse (handling package and Trofeo RS tires) days after taking delivery, and it was great! Those tires are very sticky, and the brakes are awesome, allowing a very late braking at each turn. Mine is an automatic. I am seriously considering adding a Whipple later. This is...

Same questions for you, especially since you drive a Dark Horse now with a Whipple.

Have you ever tracked the car at an HPDE event? Do you intend to do it again now that you have a Whipple installed? I am curious about whether the Whipple is as negative for the road course as others are claiming (although their posts do not indicate that they have tried it).

Why? For the strut towers, I would think that an inflexible and rigid structure would be desirable, but I am not an engineer. If space and cost were not an issue, a tubular bar, like a sway bar, mounted rigidly to the strut towers would be best.

The Stingray C8 is only 3366 pounds. Z51 and Z06 are 3600 plus. The Mustang is more than 3,800. Make the Corvette driver bring along his My 600 Pound Life passenger, and the drag race might turn out differently.

So one could look at that dyno graph and say, Oh, no! The torque is dropping off after 10,000 rpm, but the reality is that the Formula 1 engine will be pulling hard up to 18,000 rpm.

I realized I may have left the false impression that torque always decreases after 5252 rpm. This is not true. For factory engines, however, the peak torque is almost always below that rpm, around 4000 or so. The Coyote engine is an outlier in having a torque peak that is at 4,900 rpm, higher...

This is just a function of how engines work. Torque is being measured, and horsepower is a function of math. This is why you always see the torque and horsepower figures cross at the exact same point, 5,252 rpm. This means torque is always going to be lower than horsepower after that rpm. It...

No, power should not be dropping off at 6,000 rpm on your car, not even slightly. Why do you say it is dropping off? Do you have a dyno graph? Is this a feeling when driving on the street? It should be pulling hard right up to red line. Shifting at 6000 rpm or below should result in less...

I found myself needing to turn it down . . . hmmm . . . Maybe I should wait a little longer.

I need it on "blast" on a hot summer afternoon when starting out until the car's cabin cools off, then I turn the fan down lower.

I do not have enough experience to be consistent on the track yet.

Have any really good drivers with consistent lap times tried Steeda stuff and compared to the original handling package Dark Horse?
