T1 Requests for 2010-15 T1 Camaro Spec Line 1135

#35714 from Bill Baten · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-04 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. We are concerned about the competitiveness of the T1 Camaro. We have already instituted changes
since your last race at the June Sprints. It is currently 125 pounds lighter than it was at that time. If it is not an OEM LS3, the FPR
is also larger than it was at that time. Please race again so we can see data on how these changes affected the car.
