Drove the Camaro for the first time today, it went well. The suspension is firm, but not harsh and handles very well. The engine has WAY too much power for the tires, but that can be attributed to a learning curve since very thing is new on the car. The car is LOUD and attracts a lot of attention. There are a few things I need to address, but for a first drive, I feel it went well.

If you know where Lake Stevens, WA is, you can come by sometime. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to attend a show with this car, it seems as if it will never be finished.

Thats a neat system I have a 1979 Z-28 RS Camaro with a Vette Brakes C-4 Corvette adjustable mono leaf suspension set up in mine.But I still have WS-6 rear leaf springs with a Herb Adams rear sway bar mounts in back. With a 1 1/4 front and 7/8 s rear sway bars in back. Koni and Carrea shocks .With Baer 13 " front and 12' PBR 4 piston calipers disc brakes

Default Rear bumper exhaust cut out


Before

After

I did this as a temporary solution to an issue with the new exhaust hanging too low. Future plans are to shave the bumper and add a diffuser.
