Any 2010 camaro owners happy with your suspension

I have driven multiple new Camaros, and am blown away by the serious amount of understeer

Shame on you Mike,trolling for new suspension prospects. How does the Camaro compare with the G8 in the stock configuration? As for buying one of those overpriced/undersized imports, those guys don't need to know how to drive,they just buy it. OK, Yeah those vehicles work well but aren't half as much fun drifting around a road course and it sure is fun blowing by them between corners.

Hey,

Just trying to comply with rules and regulations.

We now have quite a bit of experience with Camaros. Camaros have Zeta II and G8s have ZETA 1 platforms. To be honest, there is little difference between the 2. The challenges with the Camaro, however, are more significant than the G8. This primarily relates to the shorter wheel base and the weight distribution. Thru creative settings, damping and coil levels, and the ability to get a 305 tire in all 4 corners, the Pedders Camaro will blow the doors off a stock Z06, and a Zo6 with a tune and race tires. We will be testing this on the 10-11 of this month at Gingerman Raceway with 3 Magazines present. The Pedders Camaro has been visually altered as well. Check it out:

Depends if you really want to fix it or not. There sarfe a number of things going on in a bunch of the suspension components that add to the understeer and excess body role. Their rear sway bar is not the fix all for this issue

Worked perfectly for me! Car is flat flat flat now.:thumbsup:

Of course the shocks need to be able to keep up with what is going on and in certain situations they can't. So I am on to CO's.

Heck most folks can't even find the understeer!! :jest:

You are very correct. Many to most drivers will not ever push it hard enough to get to understeer. In chatting with people as much as I do, they are challenged in understanding the differences between body role and its affects and understeer.
