Camaro 2010/11 LSD differential

Hello,

Is there someone who has any experience with other differentials than the standard mounted LSD diffs on 2010 Camaro's.

We have two 2010 Camaro ss and we race with them in the Dutch GT4 class (european driving class, the only two Camaro ss 2010 in europe).

A big problem is the standard mounted differential. the standard differential is equipped with friction plates. because we drive the cars around a track with many left and right corners, and not on an oval as in your country (America) we have a very bad problem. while accelerating out of a corner the car has immens wheelspin at the inner wheel. we can't change the setting of the suspension to mutch because cornering behaviour will change negative.

a second reason is that the friction plates are really getting beat up because we have lots of wheelspin. after one race (50 min) with new frictionplates the locking momentum in Nm is only +- 150 160 Nm and that is not good enough for our purpose. we loose lots of time for that reason.

Let me know where i can find the differantials or parts i'm looking for.

thnx

Dominic,

We race left and right too, not just in circles! Unfortunately, the 2010 Camaro doesn't have too many differential options yet, although that should change in the future. For now, I would recommend you give Jannetty Racing a call (203/753-RACE or http://www.jannettyracing.com/ ) and ordering their "Posi Mod kit" which you can find here ( http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95240 )

We haven't used one yet, but Ted tells us to expect a 66% increase in clamping force, which should help with your wheel spin problems.

Pleas, post some pictures or videos of your Camaro - we would love to see it!  

Thnx!

I know that it isn't only oval racing in Amarica, but when you come here and ask somebody about racing in America or about American Sportscars, everybody says NASCAR and Chevrolet etc. V8  you know  . But it has proven that american muscle beats up everything in the stright, but in corners.... it is less. but everything can be made better. this is the first year we drive with the two Camaro's and they are build by RILEY Technologies. we had a lot of problems with the handling of the car. but problems are there to solve, and that is what we are trying to do for next year's championchip.

I will post some photo's you wil see that the cars are really nice.

When you have questions or something, ask me. I even want to learn of it because we are in an developing stage.
