That is really good to know. We will definently keep an eye on it, and take proper measures if it looks like it isn't gonna work out. Thanks for the heads up!!

Yeah, that was her. We did alright yesterday. The car was almost un-driveable in the morning. We changed a few things and managed to get it to handle alot better. Were saving up for a LSD because we weren't able to put a single ounce of power to the ground all day long.

But all in all, the Camaro's first outing was really good. Nothing broke, and we learned a few things.
