You can do autocross in any car in good running order. Don't feel like you have to have a fancy car. Most groups welcome beginners and have a novice group. It's mostly about the driver too. I have a decent car but I have beaten McLarens, Ferraris, Porsches, etc.
Track days (aka HPDE) require more prep in terms of brakes and tires but again most cars can do it.

That SS is great Funked, we considered buying a 2019 1LE from a friend here this spring ourselves. I wanted it, missus vetoed. She is driving a 2022 BRZ for her SASC autocross car this year (motor sports is pretty popular here in West/Central Canada). 12 events this year and she drove in 8 of them so far, not sure if she'll be able to make the next 2 with me stuck in a wheelchair for another month and our other obligations/etc.
Our lease on our 2nd Lexus LC500 was up this year. Hopefully for next spring I'll get something new and obnoxious. We had a Nissan GTR for years Funked, probably the best car I've owned out of a long list of performance cars (Vettes, Viper, many many others).
I still think the Camaro SS right now is a great car and in the performance sector a great bang/$. Especially if you're tracking it like you are. Well done, I'm going to watch all your vids today again, and try and find some of Jess's from this year's autocross to post too.

I ran the summer-only goodyears on my 2019 SS 1LE. I didn't race... I just got silly on windy roads.

Fellow man of culture! What are you driving now?
The stock Goodyears (F1 Supercar 3) are great tires. I am actually going back to those once I wear out the current tires. The tires I have on right now (Falken RT-660) are maybe .5 sec quicker on autocross, but they are only good for three laps or so on the track before they get greasy, and they don't like really hot weather.
The stock Goodyears are super consistent in hot weather and you can do lap after lap on the track. The only limitation of the Goodyears is taking a few runs to get up to temp when autocrossing, and in cold weather they never really get up to temp. But on hot days all the Falken and Bridgestone and Yokohama guys have to spray their tires with water between autocross runs, and I just sit in the car and enjoy the A/C.
So basically the Goodyears are a better tire for track days and are only a little slower for autocross. I have a set of stock wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport All-Seasons on them for winter.
