    Your right Richard, the changes were made just because of Michael. No data was used at all. Either you think you are being funny or you are not aware of the testing Thant was done.

    If you think changes need to be made, talk with the National director. Al verified Saturday night the changes were made at the end of 2012 due the data that was collected.

    If you have data that proves the Mustangs have an advantage then do something with it.

    In my humble opinion it is more driver and Car set up then it is platform! You mustang guys have spent a load of time,setting up your car! Kuddos!!!!
    We ( Camaro drivers ) need to get our hands dirty and get with it, and catch up with our Mustang friends.

    Added 50 lbs to the Camaro minimum weight and reduced the max track width to 74".

    What? Work on it ourselves??? This is 2015...

    So last year at Hallett it was the 4th gen show. I think it might be combo of a slight advantage to the Mustang coupled with the relatively recent loss of significant Camaro talent.

    I'll join the "let's look at '13, '14, and '15 data closely in the fall" camp.

    Unless I can't sniff the podium then it MUST be Mustang guys cheating.

    Oddly enough there is a guy in another region that quit because he thought the Camaros had an advantage.

    Hopefully the data Richard is referring to is telemetry and not just some video that shows someone pulling away.

    It's almost impossible to make a 30 yr span of different cars all "even" in performance. Every car is only as good as you make it and only as good as the driver behind the wheel. You can't be mad at the guys who have put in the time to learn setup and how to make their car work well. That's really what it comes down to is setup, if you have worn out parts and don't bother to align the car based on track then don't expect to be on the podium.
