[FM2] JEi Camaro SS

[bimmerlovere39]

Well we just recieved a lovely 2002 Camaro SS.

The plan?  B-Class, handling.

Stay tuned...

First impression: this thing feels huge.  I came out of my B-Class E36 M3, and this thing feels big, heavy (more so than my 200lb heavier E46), and torquey.  That said, I think alot of the negatives can be taken out with some tuning.

And isn't that why it's here in the first place?

The Camaro has some wiiide tires available for it. If I'm not mistaken 295/315. Grip is there.

It ended up being having the best time during the shakedown of the LMMS at MV. It can be a very stable but fast car when properly tuned.

Good Luck.

The 295/315 happens to be a very common combo for the street, with the more hardcore atuo-x and road racers stuffing 315's up front as well. I found the Camaro in B class was a very good car for Road Atlanta with a bit more power than stock.

I was forced to run Stock Tuning the other night and I pulled out a C-class SS on New York and cleaned up.  I had limited expectations on the carousel and the double apex but it handled pretty well.  I made the mistake of staying in it when we moved over to Mugello Long.  It showed its heft there in the sweepers.  I have one in C550, B700, and A850.  I really like the car and all of the variations I have at least.  Look forward to your take on it.

Alright.  Time to actually put a tune up for this one.

those are some pretty wimpy ARBs, tried running without them?

Well, I am (for all intensive purposes) running no front bar and a very small rear bar.

I think its because of the stiff springs.

Try it, it works.  I might try harder ARBs later.
