all the bragg-smith SS's are bone stock. they have only upgraded their oil to mobil-1, that is it. but still, you should see the instructors drive these cars. it is unbelievable. i had no idea that the Camaro SS was so incredible on the track with no mods. i am very impressed with this car.

I took my SS on a road course for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed with the SS's stability and handling as well. Unfortunately my driving skills don't match the SS's capabilities.

Yep...I have realized after taking the course at Bragg Smith that the only reason to modify your car is to make it easier for an inexprienced driver to handle. Lots of fun!

Suspension mods will also make your car easier for an experienced driver to handle and to a point will make your car faster.
The Bragg-Smith school doesn't modify the cars so they can show what a completely stock SS Camaro can do. But also there would be extra expense in modifications. And performance modifications almost always affect reliability. For example, long before I got my Hotchkis sway bars, I upgraded the factory "D" bushings to urethane bushings. The stiffer bushings made my car handle better but I also broke the right "D" bushing mount (and cracked the other one) in a few months.
