I've been away from the autocross scene for a number of years but looking to get back into it. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to give CAM-C a try in my 95 Camaro, or whether the car is just too old to be competitive with the newer IRS pony cars. My car has 550/150 springs with revalved Bilsteins, a 32mm solid front bar, 21mm rear bar, GW front A-arms (as well as some other suspension bits in the rear) and about 360 whp with a T56, 3.73 final drive and a Torsen T2R. I've got a complete set of 18x10.5 Z06 wheels and would run 315 30 18 Rival S's square, though I haven't purchased the tires yet. The car is currently sitting on Conti ExtremeSportContacts 285 40 17s on 17x9.5" wheels, which would probably be my rain set up. The car is about 3500 lbs. (guessing) because it has a back half cage and GW SFC's.
Does this sound like a car that could potentially come close to running with the typical pack in CAM-C (rusty driver notwithstanding)? My daily is a 2018 ZL1 and it'd be sad if my modded fourth-gen couldn't be more competitive in CAM-C than my stock ZL1. If that is even close to the case, I'm definitely barking up the wrong tree spending money on Old Faithful. I have no desire to autocross the new car though. If I don't go down the CAM-C road with my fourth-gen, then I'll probably sell the car (which I've owned over 20 years) and get something like a Miata or SSC 86 twin. Thanks for any thoughts. I've been mulling this over for a while and am really kind of stuck. Thanks, Rich This post has been edited by RichJ: Feb 22 2019, 07:28 PM |

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like CAM-C would be a more uphill battle than I am looking to undertake.
