I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.
2020+ V6 have 10 speeds which are absolutely amazing.
The A10 is FANTASTIC and I have had zero issues on mine, on top of it just being an amazing transmission.
I currently have energy suspension bushings all around on my 69 Camaro. Lube them up well when you install them and they won't squeak. It will ride a bit firmer as it won't absorb road imperfections like the rubber bushings do.
I really liked the Goodyears as a triple duty tire on my Camaro. Even without camber plates it wore nice and evenly and was still fast right down to the cords.
I swapped to Z26 pads a few months ago. I got sick and tired of the insane amount of dust from the stock brake pads. The Z26 pads offer enough street performance for sure. The amount they dust is a SIGNIFICANT amount less. I have taken the Z26 Pads to the Tail of the Dragon and I have not had issues. I also don't drive the car anywhere near the limits so if you plan on tracking it, the stock pads are probably better.
I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.
The main thing I didn't like about the A052 is the soft sidewall and overall life. I think it's probably the stickiest 200tw tire, better suited for lighter cars, but for my heavy ass Camaro I chewed through the a052 in half the time of RE71r, mostly because I was driving them wrong. I tend to push a little past the grip level from the front on corner entry, it wasn't too big and issue with the RE71r with the stiff sidewall and stiffer compound, but driving like that with the a052 which feels incredibly soft and gummy, I shredded through the shoulders of the tread quick, even with -3.3 front camber.
This was my only complaint with my car when it was new. I can't wrap my head around how they thought that amount of brake dust was acceptable.
I swapped in Powerstop pads and have been happy ever since.
My v6 Camaro currently has some tired Eagle Touring tires. These tires are super under-steer crazy.
