intended for use only on closed
tracks by experienced and
qualified drivers and should not
be used on public roads.
High-speed driving, aggressive
cornering, hard braking, and other
high-performance driving can be
dangerous. Improper driver inputs
for the conditions may result in
loss of control of the vehicle,
which could injure or kill you or
others. Always drive safely.
This section covers specific track
events and competitive driving
information for the Camaro High
Performance models only. For
additional track events and
competitive driving information, see
the owner ’s manual. Track events or competitive driving

The Engine Sound Management
setting should not be set to Stealth
Mode during track events and
competitive driving. See
“Driver
Mode Control” in the owner’s
manual.

unleaded gasoline if the air
temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F)
at a track event. Do not use any fuel
with conditions listed in Prohibited
Fuels 029.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of
track use. Any transmission level
set or change should be performed
at your dealer.

forward holes.
To change the attachment position:
1. Raise and support the rear of the vehicle.
2. Remove the stabilizer bar link nut while holding the ball
stud end.
3. Reposition the stabilizer bar link stud to the desired hole
and tighten to 43 Y(32 lb ft).

Fuel
Top Tier Fuel
GM recommends the use of TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline to keep
the engine clean, reduce engine
deposits, and maintain optimal
vehicle performance. Look for the
TOP TIER Logo or see
www.toptiergas.com for a list of TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline marketers
and applicable countries.
Recommended Fuel
Do not use any fuel labeled E85 or
FlexFuel. Do not use gasoline with
ethanol levels greater than 15% by
volume.
Use premium unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification D4814
with a posted octane rating of 93.
If unavailable, unleaded gasoline
with a posted octane rating of
91 may be used, but with reduced
performance and fuel economy.
If the octane is less than 91, the
engine could be damaged and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If heavy knocking
is heard when using gasoline rated
at 93 octane, the engine needs
service.
Prohibited Fuels
Caution

following conditions; doing so
may damage the vehicle and void
its warranty:. For vehicles that are not
FlexFuel, fuel labeled
greater than 15% ethanol by
volume, such as mid-level
ethanol blends (16–50%
ethanol), E85, or FlexFuel.
. Fuel with any amount of
methanol, methylal,
ferrocene, and aniline.
These fuels can corrode
metal fuel system parts or
