Mad Hatter
Gotta go Faster
I really love my boss, but they are doing something right with the tubby Camaro. Last track event I was behind three Camaros and could not keep up with them in the curves. One stock ZL1 had 48.9 sec, one heavily modified track only SS with 285 and 315 R888s had 49.3 and a ZL1 with the same r888s and headers etc had 49.7. I had 50.6 with stock suspension and square Direzza ZII 275/35-19 (Pagid pads, Castrol srf, Shocks 5 front, 4 rear).
Strangely, I could hold my own on the straight, but in the curves I would start drifting before them. I though it would be the other way around. We all belong to the same V8 race club so I go up against them at almost every event I go to.
I have my P springs bought and on the way and was wondering what would be the next single suspension mod I should do to get in front of my race buddies. I have asked this before on other forums but I was unrealistically trying to get close to a GTR. Now I was hoping for some help on what I need to get that extra second out of the car.... while spending the minimum money and remaining streetable
I wanted to add one thing at the time to see the gain at the track for each change.
And yes... I am working on that item between the seat and the wheel but in the last four events my times are stuck within 0.1 sec.
While at the last event, was very humbled by a GTR with the switzer 800hp kit. That thing got 44 sec and left me standing on the straights. It did overdo it and lost a wheel in the air, drifting into a piano. Sad to see. But the driver was fine.
