We work on a variety of sports and sporty cars, and the 5th Gen chassis was one we have starting attacking in 2013. One tester&#8217;s car in particular, the silver 2013 1LE Camaro SS shown below, has borne the brunt of our development, testing, and prototype parts. We show the multi-year progression of development on this car in our <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vorshlag.com\/forums\/showthread.php?p=58416#post58416\">latest series of posts in the 5th gen Camaro Development Thread<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vorshlag-Test-Pilots\/Joe-Birmingham-2013-Camaro\/i-94JbZgg\/0\/M\/B61G6945-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vorshlag.com\/forums\/showthread.php?p=58416#post58416\">yuuuge 4-part document dump<\/a><\/strong> starts with the factory brake system, and why some upgrades were necessary on this car. Was it a conspiracy when a certain &#8220;Scottish Flight&#8221; was downed at Eagles Canyon Raceway!? Brake cooling and proper brake pads will keep this Camaro flying &#8211; and on the track &#8211; in the future. We also developed our production version of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vorshlag-store.com\/collections\/5th-gen-suspension\/products\/vorshlag-5thgencamaro-aluminum-camber-plates-perches-1\">Vorshlag 5th gen Camber Plate<\/a><\/strong> using this car, making both OEM spring and coilover spring perch versions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vorshlag-Test-Pilots\/Joe-Birmingham-2013-Camaro\/i-PVpNPwF\/0\/M\/B61G0126-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Running this car on track in the stock seats is torture, and probably against the Geneva Convention. Adding proper racing harnesses and fixed back racing seats proved to be a challenge using off-the-shelf parts. After significant modifications we were able to get the pair of Cobra Suzuka seats installed properly, with adequate head clearance and travel. The Schroth Profi-II harnesses combined with the seats to make for a pleasant driving experience on track.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vorshlag-Test-Pilots\/Joe-Birmingham-2013-Camaro\/i-SDstQFb\/0\/M\/DSC_1098-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No matter which way you lean politically, adding some negative camber lean up front is always good for a tire. That change, along with a spring rate change, really woke up the handling of this car &#8211; and kept the outer tire shoulders from getting murdered. Going to a 19&#215;11&#8243; Forgestar wheel and 305mm Hankook tire made for some monster grip. Once this was all combined into the new suspension setup it made for a damned fast car on an autocross and a road course, which we show in several in-car videos and race results.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Racing-Events\/MSR-C-Test-091616\/i-t4DfqBB\/0\/M\/DSC_3806-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the sake of our country&#8230; please take a few minutes to read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vorshlag.com\/forums\/showthread.php?p=58416#post58416\">the latest entry into this development build thread<\/a><\/strong>, as there is a lot of technical info, pictures, and videos inside to show the capabilities and options for improving the 2010-15 Camaro chassis.
