CTR will definitely get faster, no sway bar and 245 tires compared to the Camaro on 275 with the same width wheels. Scroggs didn't get a good launch out of it only 4 runs in it and it was only a few tenths off?

Dampers are a feel and confidence improver, they don't seem to offer massive improvement unless the current dampers are lacking, maybe it'll help the Camaro settle and be more accessible, he certainly showed that it is hard to extract Max performance out of it, he usually put up times a good 1/2s quicker ot more than Stroud locally but it wasn't a magic go fast button for Jonathan

I was also surprised at how 'mid-pack' the RS was, but if none of them were launching it that might be skewing the results. But if you watch one in course it's totally still a fwd economy car.

The test was never going to show A>B>C
