Just picked up another Camaro. I am planning on building it up for track duty with an eventual eye toward AIX. It has a fresh LS6 with a bigger cam. long tubes, ported intake and street tune. I need to put some bigger brakes, a race seat and 315 wheels and adjust the shims in the rear end and see how she performs at the next track day. This is my first LSx based engine so a new learning curve for me. In addition to the above, plans are to put in a 6 point cage, gut the interior, install a detachable steering wheel, standard suspension stuff+decoupled torque arm, and eventually ported heads. It should put out 420ish whp according to its last dyno session as is. It is painted Orange with a black top and black functional hood scoop. I will try to keep it nice looking (as opposed to my '93 which is "function first"). Am I officially "Camaro Crazy" with two?

Isn't your other car a pretty wild track car?

I wish I could afford 2 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I should get a two bumper stickers that say "my other car is a Camaro" for each Camaro. My first Camaro an LT1 model that I built up (383 stroker). I wouldn't call it "wild", but it is a lot of fun. If I can get more seat time, I would like to move into AIX so the new LS Camaro will be the plat form for that eventually. The LT Camaro will remain a track day car. I share the cars with a friend so its not as bad as it sounds.
