@@FollowMyLine17 what happened to the scat pack? I have an 18' Scat Pack manual and am thinking about whether to track that or trade it for a used ss 1le for track work.
Andre G the Scat Pack is gone. Traded her back in (was a lease) in August of 2018, and just purchased a 2018 SS 1LE in December 2018. She’s tucked under a car cover, as I picked up a Challenger GT as a daily driver back in July of 2018. My friends 2017 1LE was 17 seconds per lap faster than my Scat Pack at Road America. Even if I were able to squeeze 2 more seconds out of the Scat Pack that difference in time is still in a completely different class. Hell, 3 seconds difference is in a different class. For me, the 1LE is the perfect track weapon for the $
Other than MVP track time who do you like going to RA with? The groups I’m used to don’t go there and trying to find someone similar to Chin or HOD. Just sold my SS1LE to try out some German… absolutely loved the SS1LEs on the track though! So good, so fun and sound amazing!
I’ve always gone with MVP. Usually most other groups that go to Road America don’t run the kink or they add cones on track to slow you down (like SCCA Track Night in America) so I have always stuck with MVP Track Time.
Hi Luan this is Dennis #56 with the Z28Turns out I have a failed master cylinderGM is replacing under warrentyGood talking to you in the paddock as the true sportsman you are
Hi Dennis! It was great to meet you and your wife as well. Hopefully I'll get to see you at other events with MVP or any tracks around the country! Heck of a machine you've got there! I hope you enjoyed the video.
Sure! This was an HPDE event, where passing is only allowed in certain areas, and when the driver ahead gives a "point-by" in the direction he would like you to pass and then lifts off the throttle slightly (maybe 75% throttle) to make sure the car given the pass has enough time/space to make the move. At 2:45 he gave me the point-by to the right, and then proceeded to keep his foot pegged and turned it into a drag race. This is a big no-no on HPDEs because it causes risk to both drivers. After I realized what he was doing I aborted the pass and fell back behind him onto the racing line.
@@FollowMyLine17 thank you. I have a 1ss1le on order now and this is what I'm going to do with it. Best to learn the do's and don'ts before getting on the track. Thank you for the explanation and nice driving.
how are temperatures during this session? Engine oil temp and trans temp? I am very curious since my C5Z06 sees oil temps as high as 280° at track days.
This one is tricky for me to answer, because it is not my car, however I DO remember coming back to the paddock and looking over all of the gauges, and every single one of them was in the "normal" temperature range. I'm sorry I can't give you a more specific answer.
The new 1LE's have tranny, diff, and oil coolers from factory. The C5 Z has nothing. You need an external oil cooler or a radiator with one built in to keep temps down.
An old time pro racing driver told me once that the fastest guys are the ones that are either 100% on the gas or 100% on the brakes, nothing else. No coasting, lifting or feathering the brakes. He was a multichamp from the 60s.
Mena DeVito they were actually pretty close IIRC. We talked afterward and he was only around a half second faster because of the speed he made up in the straights. I’ll ask him next time I see him. He has a 2018 ZL1 1LE now, since he wrecked the Z/28 about a year ago at Road America. I see him from time to time at different tracks. He was at Mid-Ohio with me this past Sept.
Super cool video, thanks for posting. I have an ss1le-maybe one day I’ll track it! Newbie question, why do you have a copilot? Just curious, thanks again.
J Del if you get a chance to track it, do it! You’ll appreciate what the car can do. The co-pilot is along for the thrill ride. Just a friend enjoying the drive. Check out some of my other videos. Plenty of on-track stuff my my 1LE.
wallywick if you are looking for a suggestion on pads, I replaced my factory Brembo brake pads on my Scat Pack with Power Stop Track Day Pads, and I am extremely happy with them. Tremendous, progressive bite, and still have half of the pad available after 6 track days. They are available for the 1LE SS as well and have part numbers if you need them.
The Power Stop Track Day Pads are a great pad, especially if you do not want to swap out pads at the track. The part numbers for the Camaro with the 6-piston fronts and 4-piston rear brakes are PST-1405 and PST-1718, respectively.
Vignesh Vivek the external mic is taped to the rear bumper, above the license plate. The best mic I found that works with the GoPro is this: External Microphone: Purple Panda www.amazon.com/Purple-Panda-Lavalier-Lapel-Microphone/dp/B01MSKI46R
Luan Zeqollari Nice man, I deleted asking about rev match because I saw you answered someone else in the comments, cool feature. Great sounding car for sure.

gizmotron2030 I have not driven a GT350. I would love to. I only know one person with a GT350 and I’m not so sure he would be up for taking it to a track just yet.
Great quality video sir. May I inquire what your camera setup is? I'm trying to mount a camera in a similar spot in a friends 1LE. Perfect position for capturing wheel inputs. Also what is the exhaust setup? Seems much louder than my friends car. Cheers
94tegLSatMSC yeah no problem! I’m using a GoPro Hero4 Silver mounted to a CruiseCam headrest camera mount. I plan on eventually upgrading to a GoPro Hero 6 to get better 4K video captured. The exhaust is the factory exhaust, but I have a microphone taped to the rear bumper, right above the license plate opening. I ran it from the GoPro through the rear seat opening, out of the trunk to the rear bumper. The lap data comes from Harry’s Lap Timer Grand Prix Edition, and I have a GoPoint BT1 OBD2 adapter to get me more accurate info than what the phone can provide. I hope that helps!
Thank you for the response! Just a few more questions, how did you get the microphone hooked up? Is there a super long cable you ran all the way back? Bluetooth? What microphone did you use exactly? I ordered the headrest mount already so looking to up my track video game lol
94tegLSatMSC I’ll have to look to see exactly which microphone because I purchased 3, and this was the one that gave the best results. It came with a 20 ft cable that I just ran to the trunk, and taped to the rear bumper just above the license plate area.
Luan Zeqollari You're the man sir, I appreciate it. Insignia has a $50 mic at best buy that comes with a 20ft cable I might try out first. I'm planning on using the hero 5 along with the mic so I have to buy the Go Pro specific mic adaptor which sucks. Also for harrys lap timer data, do you just upload the Go Pro video to your phone then sync it with the first lap in Harry's? Then upload from your phone back to the computer for editing? Sorry for all the questions... Trying to up my track video game
94tegLSatMSC skip that microphone. The one I bought COMES with the adapter. I had purchased a different adapter that wasn’t as good. It’s a Purple Panda kit.

All editing was done right on my iPhone 6.

@@FollowMyLine17 Riding, in it will answer all I really want 2 know! I had a chance, 2 drive a basic camaro 1lt, yesterday. I knew what I wanted, before driving that trim level. I need 6 gears, instead of a 8 speed!

Quick Dubbs well I’ll be at Grattan, Brainerd, Road America, NCM Motorsports Park, and Mid-Ohio in 2020 for some track days. You’re always welcome to ride along if you can make it out. The rev-match can be turned on or off. I can heel-toe, but no where near as good as a computer. It senses when the brakes are applied, clutch is pushed in and what direction you’re moving the gear selector to determine how much rpm to blip in order to get you a smooth downshift
Bobby Wisdom not exactly. Look at all the track time comparisons between the 6th gen SS 1LE and the 5th gen Z/28. The 1LE is faster (marginally) at nearly every track. Still, the Z/28 is an amazing car.
matrox I’m guessing you noticed him give me the point-by, and then proceed to drag race me? I decided it was best to not pass since the heavy braking zone was coming up...
You could have easily made it around him with the remaining straight left in that video. Perhaps he thought you were going to go around him quicker but I understand why you backed off.
22chuman I wouldn’t say it’s obsolete, but the 6th Gen has a much improved chassis. The mag-ride helps tremendously. FWIW, I still prefer the interior on the 5th gen to the 6th gen.
You have every right to like what you like. I am an F-body owner of since fall of 2000. I'm drooling over Corvette Grand sports and 1LE Camaros now. Dreaming.
It brings back the aspects of having a car built around the engine, not vice versa. It is like the older muscle cars in the sense of having simplicity. No fancy interior or gadgets just an expensive suspension and big ls7 motor. the new gens don't appeal to me as a muscle car at all just a big bodied euro sounding sports car.
I totally disagree. The Gen6 is a different flavor of muscle car. 6.2 litters any way you cut it is a big engine. Using tech to get ahead has been around muscle cars from day one. Just 'cause it can turn doesn't make it euro-trash.
A 6gen 1le right there with a 5gen z28 its amazing what Camaros can do on a road course. Looked like an incredible amount of fun, enjoyed watching

Sarah Dell eats up tires and brake pads like a full-time job.
the 5th and 6th gen camaros are NASTY on the track
Yes but the Z28 clearly had the advantage.
Nice driving! This car is most impressive from factory.
With so much torque and long gears you only need to shift between 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Those downshift blips are eargasmic!

Very nice...want one and will probably be my next track car! Excellent, smooth driving too - enjoyed watching you *not* overdrive it!
