2002 SS Camaro vs. C55
Silly question that I think I know the answer to, but I'd rather ask than blow my money.
My "acquaintance" is 100% sure that he can beat my 2005 C55 with his totally stock 2002 SS Camaro in a 1/4 mile. I'm 99.9% sure it'd be a give me, but I just wanted to make sure. He originally wanted to wager $100 but now it's $40. I should take him up on this one right?

Motortrend's times also tend to be the fastest out of the 3 main car mags.

given its a ls1 in there, i think you only have to worry if he's modded. Cams, intake and exhaust the ls1 makes some pretty good power for relatively cheap.
Just race him around a corner..lol.

Haha, about 5 years ago one of my buddies back home used to have a Z28 that ran a high 12 and I used to putt putt around in a modded Jetta 1.8T. Whenever we'd drag I'd get stomped, but whenever we'd take a corner...man oh man that car was terrible. My Jetta was no slouch, though, with the suspension I had on it. Which brings me to my next point. Last night a modded Acura RSX wanted to pick a fight. Long story short, I was only about half throttle and spanked him. He did a ricer flyby and I just laughed. Anyway, I'm not proud of this and it is to be expected but it was comical nonetheless.

If its auto, then definately you'll get him. I think, if both unmodded...and he has a manual, then its a driver's race. If you only go to 0-80, its all you. Over that, the LS1 3rd gear pull if pretty strong, so I beleive you'll have (and should have) a lead on him if you intend to go up over 100 (this is for a manual trans).

Well, I just went TDY at Ft. Knox for 3.5 months and earned nearly $4,500 in per diem but that all went to a $4,800 engagement ring. I'm about to pick-up flight pay in a couple of months which will be nice, but I just got my C55 so I guess I can just dream for a little while
I'll tell you what though, my car was the only c55 at ft. lewis when I picked it up...even in 1st group. Some of our guys got the 150k kicker to reenlist and one of our dudes picked up a GT3 and daily drives a cayman lol. So I'm sure though that the c55 is pretty sleeper and hard to find where you're at.

Well, I mean TDY overseas. TDY in Korea or Japan was bank. I was deployed twice to the Philippines when I was active duty and got good per diem there for both rotations...iraq's combat pay sucked.

The only thing I've really seen worth while so far is an E46 M3 and a 2005 STi.
