Looks like a pretty competent package, and that guy can DRIVE! Not bad for 4000 lbs, I thought.

What are you guys running for lap times at VIR? What cars, what mods? I wonder how competetive the 1LE will be in SCCA, CMC, etc?

Discuss. This may be my next track day car, once they're used and affordable . . .

Agreed, the '05+ mustangs are great cars (particularly the new ones with the coyote engine) and that the next Camaro needs a serious diet over the current car. I'm not 100% convinced the IRS is a problem, but I'm not convinced it's the right answer either. The IRS in the 'vette is great and it's not that fragile. I think IRS in the Camaro has potential, but needs work. I highly doubt GM can build a 3400 pound V8 Camaro anymore. No matter how "stripped" or basic it is. I think 3500 is about as light as we can hope for. Even the ATS with the little 2.0 turbo weighs over 3300 pounds.
