[Video] Pfadt Camaro Pulls 1.34g on STOCK WHEELS/TIRES at Miller Motorsport Park

Hey guys!

http://www.youtube.com/user/PfadtRaceEngineering

We have already proven that our suspension is King of Autocross at a recent national event, now we want to show you what it can do in something we are more experienced in: Road Racing.

We went out to the track this past weekend, for a NASA event with our C6Z Race Car. We had a great weekend, took second in the race, but MORE importantly we had some time to get some video of our Pfadt Development Camaro on the TRACK! We muscled our way into a run group of Porsches and BMWs and Mustangs, to see what we could do. Let me tell you, with Aaron behind the wheel, we were the ones doing all of the passing!

Continuing our tradition of not just SAYING we did something, we are PROVING it with our data logging and video documentation! Had two cameras on board the Camaro, and a data collection system that monitored a bunch of parameters. Most importantly, we had a live quadratic-G diagram outputting constantly.

A little info on the car:

1) Pfadt Coilovers
2) Pfadt Camber Plates (set up at -1.8 degrees)
3) Pfadt Sport Sway Bars
4) Pfadt Rear Trailing Arms
5) Pfadt Adjustable Toe Links
6) Pfadt Solid Rear Subframe Bushings
7) Pfadt Engine Mounts
8) Pfadt Poly Differential Mounts -street
9) Pfadt Strut Tower Brace
10) STOCK TIRES/WHEELS

In all honesty, we didn't even play with any setup on this car. It was a little impromptu, and we didn't adjust ride height (still at the lowest!), alignment, rear swaybar etc. Nothing was optimized! We were rushed for time, as usual, so we didn't get to take the professional approach we do with almost everything else like our Corvette Race Team, but we we just wanted to see what it could do, and how many Porsches and Mustangs we could pass. Imagine what it could do with some dedicated time to optimize the suspension setup! This video is only one lap of many.

Check out the video and let us know what you think! 1.34g's is seen at appx laptime of 1:45:69. I've included a screen dump! This is what your Camaro can do with our products, and STOCK TIRES!

Exclamation Re: [Video] Pfadt Camaro Pulls 1.34g on STOCK WHEELS/TIRES at Miller Motorsport Park

So I have a 1986 IROC-Z and "I want to go fast"...around corners. I used to think i wanted to own the straight track. Now a little order I like to pretend every day im driving on the Nurburgring. That being said heres heres what im working with

355 Rebuild be Recon (i believe 290/290 duration. been too long)
650 CFM with mechanicle secondary
MSD Distributor with HEI Coil
700R4 rebuilt and shift kit installed
2800 B&M stall converter
Headmen long tube header
2.5'' true dual pipes out super44 flows
2.73 rear diff open (soon to be 3.73's, do i want to go posi?)

a/c and heater removed
smog pump removed
stock radiator
stock rims and tires
stock suspension (needs to be replaced, rear sagging)
stock brake system (sucks)

I am realistic and I know ill never get this to perform like the new ZL1, but im willing to go the distance and see what this thing can do.
