if it was thing I have learned about street racing... you never want to be the lead cars... I was one of the lead cars the 1st trip of the night... but when we got through and and it was over... I thought it was over... I told everyone it was a bad idea to go back... basically the setup is, we have a mile long bridge here, well, its actually 2 bridges that run parallel across the river... 3 north bound lanes, 3 south bound lanes, and the river is the border between 2 counties... usually we'll drive across the bridge heading south bound and right past the bridge is a little u-turn area... then people will race back when the traffic is clear, that is the way we scout for cops... you have a mile and 3 lanes so you got plenty of room... but its a TERRIBLE spot to race.. because of the cops, if you go there once in a night and DON'T get caught, consider it good... i mean its one thing to be going across it and get involved in a short little sprint, no cops EVER sit on it, they are always on one of the sides when you come off... we just had way too many cars... and decided to go back
the reason I didn't get caught is me and a built fox body were going to run... so when everyone did the u-turn at the spot I was talking about, he and I went down to the light about a 1/4 mile down the road to do a U-turn(was way too many cars and we wanted to get some room to race)... when we did our U-turn at the light, I saw the undercover(I think he was in a Ford Ranger) do a U-turn with them, they knew the gig was up and everyone laid into it... like I said, myself and the 5.0 were behind all of this going down... when I got across the bridge, cops were flying in every direction... I was never involved in any kind of pursuit or anything, but I KNEW it was going to be bad... way too many cops and they were having to run towards town(Southbound is also heading toward a town but you can turn left at the light I did the U-turn, make a quick right and haul ass out into the country and Southbound is they way I usually race... but all these guys are from the Northbound side of the River... I drove by one of my friends house who lives about 2 minutes from that bridge to see if everyone was there... some of them were but I didn't see a lot of them, so I kept driving... ended up getting tailed by cops, but never blue lighted... got up with one of my friends and he told me that the guy with the s/c Camaro had got caught, we didn't know about the wreck... so I then went back to the house
when I pulled up, one of my friends and his g/f jumped in my car, apparently they had come up with the bright idea of driving over there and seeing if we could get his car, because he had texted saying it was getting towed, but didn't mention "oh yeah, they pitted me and its crashed"... when I head toward the scene, there is about 10 cop cars at the entry point of the dead end road where he wrecked... I told them "Look, you guys can call me the biggest b**** if you want, but i'm in a 2010 Camaro SS about to pull up to a scene where another 2010 Camaro SS just tried to run and was wrecked, if we go over there, i'm probably going to jail for attempting to evade even though I didn't even run"(because SEVERAL people ran but only 2 were pursued)... they agreed and we turned around... an hour later we went over there and saw where he had wrecked, and I spotted all the transmission fluid, etc. and told them it was probably going to be pretty bad
he turned on what he thought was a side road that circled around to the bridge, so he could get back on it and haul ass Southbound... but he turned one road too soon, and he was actually hauling ass right toward a locked gate of some type of business, he went through the gate and was trying to haul around their facility to either hide out or head back out... but when he tried to head back out, the big ass SUV was in the process of making a U-turn, and another Unit was trying to cut him off, he swerved around that car... but the SUV had already decided to ram him... and rammed him off the road into a ditch... game over

and the damage isn't too bad on his car, he got it out of impound and had it towed to one of my friends house... I looked the car over this morning, mostly cosmetic, I did spot a broken control arm on the front drivers side, and i'm pretty sure something in the suspension is broken on the rear of the drivers side... but the SUV his him in the back bumper, not the 1/4 panel... one of his wheels did get bent, but not from impact... I told him i'd probably buy a new set just in case... there is probably $3-4,000 worth of damage
and he ended up getting some of the charges thrown out... in the end, they just gave him racing on the highway, improper lane change, and reckless endangerment, dropped the reckless driving and attempt to evade, so he got lucky on that, they also think he's the ring leader of our little crew(if anything though, I am, lol) and also they tried to get information out of him on who the other guy that ran was and told him "we know it was either a white Cavalier or G6"... Cayne told them "yeah, it was a turbo Cavalier"
....it wasn't lol
and it wasn't a G6 either, they did have the color right

went out for a night of fun on the town, saw 2 friends go to jail, one with a totaled supercharged 2010 Camaro SS... never again... i'm done with street racing... track only from here on out
they set our asses up tonight and finally cracked down... and brought the hammer, pit maneuvers and all... and I wish I was joking, I saw a SUV push a Camaro off the road and into a ditch, and I don't mean it ran him down or anything... I mean blindsided him as he tried to speed by

Well you **** I ordered my HPTuners finally , I actually ordered it from Hinson Motorsports in Birmingham after having some trouble with another online source. I ordered it 38 minutes ago and they shipped it out 12 minutes ago rofl that is what I am talking about fast shipping buddy lol.
I'm going to have James do a remote tune until I can meet up with him for a more personal touch. I'll compare it to my Trifecta since I had one of the more aggressive ones done by Vince. I want to learn to tweak my tune myself though since I have done all the work to my car personally except the tune.
I'm excited

Trifecta was on par or equal to the HPTuners tune when all of HPTuners tables were still locked, while Vince@Trifecta had unlocked most of it for his program.
Once they started unlocking more tables for HPTuners it basically made it the best and most powerful tunes for the LNF now.
You should have a noticeable improvement all around.

well i'm putting the performance mods on hold for a while, just got word that the C6 Zo6 Motorsport wheels are now available in a 20x11
going to run stagger, 20X11s on the back, 19x9.5 on the front(10" is the max wheel width you can put up front without scrubbing, 20x11 is all they make a 20" in)... with a 295/40/20 on the back and a 255/40/19 on the front... they were cheaper than I thought they would be, 2 20X11s and 2 19X9.5s are about $1250 with free shipping, tires about $915, so about $2175 worth of wheel and tire... that is my cam swap, but it'll be clean as hell with those wheels... lower it 1.2" with some tint, sex
its loud enough and fast enough for the time being, now I want to enhance the visuals a little... I would have waited, but when I found out they finally got around to this, i've got to have these wheels... i've wanted them every since I bought my car, only to be disappointed to find out 19 was as big as they went... I emailed the damn company to even see about getting some custom made(probably would have been EXPENSIVE, but I was desperate, lol) and they told me these wheels were "in the works"... that was about November of last year... got an email today saying their 1st ones will ship out Friday
might not have the fastest camaro in the state, just going for cleanest, lol

they weigh 33lbs, my stock wheel weighs 31... yeah it'll be an additional 8lbs of rotating mass, which will be about an "additional" 50-75lbs in real time weight... but I don't care, they look damn good

looks like the offset will be the downfall, everything else is right, but because its such a wide wheel, with spacers it'd stick out the side of the car because of the incorrect offsets, I mean, it'd fit... but I wouldn't ruin my car like that... so I guess its between these two Foose wheels:
both are 100% matches, clear the Brembos, correct offset and everything, though its a 10" wheel in the back so the largest tire I can safely run is a 295 I think(which is what I was going to run on the 11" anyway), I might could pull a 305 off but wouldn't risk it
little pricier, about $1400 a set but both are LIGHTER than my stock wheels
