Hey guys, as a recent addition to the autox world I had some questions. I AM a v6 Camaro w/ an auto... yes some higher nature has frowned at me in the racing world. However I've decent mods (SLP cai, flowmaster ex., tb spacer, msd wires, zexel lsd, and sfcs) and wanted to know what class I would belong in. Around here I practice autox and some mild drifting on a pass I've found around the local lake. I've looked into that class that's making a tour (can't remember the name) but will be here in March. As a noober, I was wanting just some basic advice for someone who has just entered the relm of autox as well as an anti-flame suit in extreme cases (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . - B

Above all, I have to say the V6 F-body has been a great car to learn autocrossing in. With a little suspension work to take away the softness they put into it (hitting the bumpstops in turns on average street tires (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) ), it'll handle just like it's big brothers, and the V6 being completely behind the front wheels gives a nice balance bonus.

With the V6 can concentrate on a lot of your driving without having to worry as much about throttle subtlety, esp. with the Torsen in the back. Yes, you still can't treat the gas as a binary switch, but you can focus a lot on smoothing and coordinating your inputs better without having worrying about the tail as much.

Someday I might start PAXing as high as the good F-body drivers out here (Larry Petrucci and Don Hyland), but it'll be tough to beat those two on pure time.
