That was fun to read - thanks for posting!

Before the M240 I had a 2020 Camaro SS 1LE (track package), and I'm thinking the guy you raced didn't know what he was doing. At 66 MPH, and in the proper gear, the M240 shouldn't put 5 car lengths on the 6.2L 455 HP 455 TQ Camaro. On a road course track the SS 1LE will absolutely destroy the M240, but the M240 will take the Camaro 0-60 and probably in most pulls, but it shouldn't be drastic. The M240 should easily enter a new league with a tune and downpipe, and likely make it somewhat competitive against the 650 HP Camaro ZL1.

What is there to know what to do in a roll race like this beyond mashing the gas?

I think the OP already explained this in his first post.

Too bad it's sold out. Any other suggestions from the forum?

I'm sure the one from other models would fit, assuming the tow hook threads are the same. The plate itself is fully adjustable so as long as you get the tow hook stud in you should be good

I have this type of mount on my BRZ and it works great, and no drilling holes needed.

Ron. Do your front sensors notice the license plate location? Your front parking sensors act normal?

I have mine a little lower and the front right sensors notices it at times.

No issues so far. The bracket on my F30 used to set the sensors off and it drive me crazy. With this one the way I have it it's golden.
