its just time to realize. the camaro is about 2 times too big
On a smooth surface IRS offers no increase in handling. The improvement comes when the road is less than smooth – like most public roads race courses. I would not expect greatly increased “g” measurements in a test situation.

I’m more interested in how the handling is hindered by the oversized wheels & tires as well. 20s & 21s are just too big. All that weight that far from the hub, like giant flywheels.
