Driving Information
Track Events and Competitive
Driving
{Danger
High-performance features are 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 may
affect the vehicle warranty. See the
warranty manual before using the vehicle
for racing or other 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.
{Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. See “Capacities and Specifications”
in the owner’s manual for wheel nut
torque specifications.

Engine OilCaution
If you use the vehicle for racing or other
competitive driving, the engine may use
more oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the engine. For
information on how to add oil, see
Engine Oil028.
Be sure to check the oil level often during
racing or other competitive driving and
keep the level at or near the upper mark
that shows the proper operating range on
the engine oil dipstick. The LT1 and LT4 engines are factory filled
with 0W-40 dexos2 oil. 0W-40 dexos2
engine oil is approved for both track and
street use with the LT1 and LT4 (ZL1 only,
not ZL1 1LE) engines. 15W-50 full synthetic
engine oil may also be used for track use
and is required on the ZL1 1LE, but after
track use must be changed back to 0W-40
dexos2 for street use. See
Capacities and
Specifications 043.
Fuel
Consider using 100 octane 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 Fuels025.
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.
Manual Transmission Fluid
Manual transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of track usage.
Tire Pressures
Tire pressure specifications are listed
in psi (kPa). Limit the vehicle weight to a
maximum of the driver and one passenger,
with no additional cargo.
