So how fast are these things? Because one kept right up my **** today, if he wanted it seem like he could over take me! As I came up to a stop to take a left he went by with a lol... I don't street race, or agree with street racing, this was merely a lil sprint off the line in a open non occupied industrial area in Mexico.

Either...

My car is slow as hell, I guess the anchor 20s don't help, pump is failing?
or
Camaro SS is just a beast, maybe he had some bolt ons? Definitely had a loud exhaust.
or
He was supercharged?
If that was the case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQgXh5_fxHI LOL I'd be eating dust

They tune nicely, however, of the 6 or so SS that I have had a run in from the line and from a highway run, only one was close to me with my mods. It had a loud exhaust, not sure what else. Rest seemed stock. But again, still beat all of them.

Maybe it was supercharged... didn't hear anything, the exhaust was LOUD lol

Ive ran 3-4 SS and god knows how many SRT chargers/300 and Ive only had one 300 SRT keep up with my basically stock AMG(muffler delete is the only "power mod" I have for now lol). I really don't bother with them anymore unless they're modified . stock for stock I pulled about 1 1/2-2 cars on the SS so with a good amount of mods im sure they would be able to close that gap.


FYI the 300 SRT had exhaust/headers/CAI/and a mild cam...he pulled away initially but I slowly reeled him in on the top end. we were neck and neck with me edging away at about 125mph.

I was asking my friend the other day if he's seen any stock 5th-gen Camaros at the track. Seems like they added 100+hp to the car over the 4th-gen Camaro/Firebird, but they're not appreciably quicker in the magazine tests.

I saw a test recently of the Mustang 5L and Camaro SS convertibles. The Camaro ran a 13.2@109 and the Mustang ran 12.9@111. The Camaro SS convertible was over 4000lbs I think the Mustang was 400lbs lighter.

LOL, I want this camaro. The retro white ball shifter is AWESOME.

They are slow stock, but modded are easily 11 second cars. Sounds like he was modded though.

Someone needs to tell their mom to put some clothes on.

A buddy of mine has a gen 5 Camaro, and I drove it before and after mods. Bone stock I wasn't impressed at all. The only mods done were headers, cold air, and esu tune and I have to tell you the car should come the factory with these slight mods. It's a night and day difference and it's actually fun to drive. We havn't done a side by side pull but I have to say I'm bone stock and the way he's modded it would be pretty close.
Now the fun begins, this summer he is adding a super charger and I'm looking to start to mod the E55.

I have been hearing rumor that the 2012 or 2013 camaro will have the LSA engine in it?

I've had several 4th gen Camaros and an 05 LS GTO. One of them I called "wednesday" an 02because it was just built right. Evertything you usually hated about these cars, this one didnt have like: rattley doors, too much play in the power seat tracks, etc.

I did 4:10 gears, Kooks headers, SLP intake, AFR heads, SLP loudmouth, Minitubbed rear to take 305s, Diablo tuner, and a few Hotchkis toys.

Never dyno'd, never took it to Firebird or Speedworld... But I'm pretty sure that car would smizoke my stock E55 in a big way. And it got 25 MPG on the freeway.

These cars are dirt cheap, and cheap to tune.

But, there's this stigma that goes with them.

WayneE

I had an 01 TA WS6 6spd that was built right, too. Stock with drag radials, it ran 12.76@110.05.



Car only had 600 miles on it.

I'm not impressed with the 5th-gens.

Jakpro1

HAAA HAAAA, that was my first thought. What's with the old broad?

AMG_RL

I'd still hit it, she looks like cougar territory

Juice1979

This is my buddy's shop Camaro SS. When we ran here it ha Heads, Cam, headers, Intake tune, DR's and skinnies up front. Stock they run low 13's...with a tune and a few liht bolt-ons high 12's.

While Camaro mag numbers are not as good as the W211's- they are close enough for a good street race where jumps, conditions, wheel spin, etc clearly help out in a dig run.

The tenths of seconds it yields in a controlled measured environment (magazine style) can easily be made up in a dig. Longer sustained races to a quarter or a 60-130 race would provide different results IMHO.

randallaguirre

Yep, that's the stigma alllllllll-right.

Man, I remember when the WS6 came out with the "nostril hood"... I WANTED THAT CAR!!!!

Chevrolet is upping the ante next year with the Camaro ZL1. With a 550+hp supercharged LSx motor, it's going to put a hurting on our AMGs.
