Where are you buying SX2's? Do they have the soft shoulder compounds like the PSS/PS4S. The Camaro has double wishbones so maybe a better camber curve then our parts bin cars.

I did run the Blackstone test after last seasons two track days. They were cooler days and I sucked at driving more so I doubt I was dumping the heat into it like I will on my next track day in June.

Good question. It might get bypassed if its on the oil filter housing. I know GM put spring loaded bypasses to avoid people exploding there oil filters on cold days.

I thought the two MC circuits were on the front and the rear respectively. If you blow a hose you'll lose the front or the rear not the left or the right.

Continental/Hoosier challenge slicks

I'm seeing these new and used for pretty cheap. How are they as a track day tire on a lightly modified car? How impractical would they be on an autocross?
