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.

Front License Plate/Bracket Removal
(ZL1 Only)
For track use, the front license plate and
bracket can be removed from the fascia for
increased airflow. Remove the license plate
to access the four screws that attach the
license plate bracket to the front fascia.
Water Deflector
If operating a ZL1 on a closed course in hot
temperatures, remove the water deflector to
increase airflow and improve cooling.
Remove the three bolts. Replace
immediately after track use to protect the
engine compartment from water intrusion.
Torque to 4.5Y(40 lb in).
Wicker Bill
A rear spoiler wicker bill is available for
LS/LT and SS with the 1LE package only.
If equipped with a wicker bill, use the
instructions for installation.
Underbody Air Deflector Tire Dam Kit
The underbody air deflector tire dam kit
provided with ZL1 vehicles reduces the
amount of aerodynamic lift on the front
axle for better handling. The original tire
dams must be reinstalled after the track
event. For installation, see the instructions
provided with the kit.

4. Using the hex feature on the top of themount, turn the top mount 180° until
the TRACK CAMBER text is visible and the
second set of top mount holes aligns
with the strut tower holes.
5. Reinstall the top mount bolts and torque to 29 Y(21.4 lb ft).
6. Keep the top mount alignment pin and bolt for reinstallation when the struts
are returned to the street position
following the track event.
7. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment per track alignment specifications to
optimize vehicle performance for the
track event. 8. Verify and re-adjust the vehicle
alignment as needed following the track
event.
Strut Spring Seat Adjustment
The front struts have a threaded spring seat
that allows adjustment of the preload on
the front springs. The vehicle corner weights
and front trim heights can be adjusted.
The spring seat can be adjusted
approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) up or down
from the nominal position. Each complete
turn of the spring perch will change the
vehicle height approximately 1.4 mm
(0.06 in). Do not allow the spring seat to
contact the black seal cap when adjusting in
the maximum upward direction.
To adjust the lower spring seat: 1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are completely off the ground.2. Loosen the lower spring seat bolt. Donot completely remove the bolt.
3. Turn the spring perch upward to increase spring preload, or downward to decrease
spring preload.
4. Torque the spring seat bolt to 10 Y
(7.4 lb ft).
5. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following the spring seat
adjustment.

24 Driving and Operating
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and Launch
Control are systems designed for a closed
course race track and not intended for use
on public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be available
through the Settings menu, if equipped. See
“Custom Launch Control”in Track Events and
Competitive Driving in the owner’s manual.
Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
is a hydraulically actuated clutch system.
It can infinitely vary the clutch engagement
between 0 and 2000 Y(1475 lb ft) of
breakaway torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement within
0.150 seconds when necessary. Smaller
clutch adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
.Uses the vehicle sensors and driver inputs
to determine the optimum amount of
clutch engagement for the conditions.
.Improves traction while cornering by
changing the engagement to achieve a
balance between directional control and
acceleration.
.Provides optimal engagement for
high-speed control and stability without
affecting precise steering and turn-in.
.Improves vehicle stability during spirited
driving and evasive maneuvers. Is fully
integrated with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
systems.
There are unique calibrations based on the
Traction Control System (TCS) setting. eLSD
modes change automatically when
Yis
pressed. No unique input from the driver is
required.
.Mode 1 is the standard mode when the
vehicle is started. It provides a touring
calibration with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in PTM
Wet mode.
.Mode 2 is engaged when both TCS and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) are turned off. This calibration
provides more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
.Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is engaged
in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and Race modes. This
is a nimble calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2, however, it
is integrated to work with PTM.
.Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is selected
off, but StabiliTrak/ESC remains on.
Vehicle stability is still the priority, while
allowing for optimized traction out of
corners.
The ZL1 1LE, ZL1 coupe, and SS 1LE are
calibrated uniquely and optimized for their
unique powertrain and chassis combinations.
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.
