I just picked up a 2002 SS with 17,000 kms (10,500 mi) and am going to autocross/track day it. I did an autocross 2 weekends ago and didn't do too well. The car still has the origional F1s which are 8 years old so they didn't help. I just ordered the Strano handling package with the 4/4 Konis springs and both bars.Seemed like a good deal and free shipping. I've also been given some used V710s that should still have some life in them to use on another set of stock wheels when I find some cheap.
I used to autocross a2005 WRX wagon which was lightly modded with wider wheels/Yoko A032s a rear bar, and a slight boost increase. I love to drive the camaro even though it has poor response/handling right now and am looking forward to being faster with this car that with the WRX. I was always very close to my ultra competitve Brother in-law who seemed to edge my wrx out with his 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4. I hope to kick his but with this car in raw time as I beleive these mods bumo me into ESP. This is a great board and I look forward to improving my car and more importantly my driving skill with the help from everyone here. |
