^^^^ Those numbers arnt bad at all, hell they run the same as our LS1s...WHICH is great by the way, and they have much more potential and I feel alot more will come out of these engines.
I dont understand why everyones so obsessed with the unexpected performance, meaning it isnt doing much better than the MIGHTY LS1s. This car is top notch regards to Style, interior and straight Sex Appeal. Im just stoked its BACK, and its badder than ever IMO. Once this car gets broken in, im sure most of you Power Junkies will come to your senses.

Here is one video I took of it. Sorry the wife stopped the video before I called out the numbers. She took this with my digital camera. It's not very good, but it is something.

Here is the 13.17 pass. Again, the quality is bad, but at least you have a very close up of it launching.

Anybody saying car needs a "better" driver. I like to remind yall he does race the fastest Lsx powered car in the world.... I some how think he can handle a 13 sec car down the 1320...He has nothing to gain by making it seem slower. JMO
Wormboy is about 80lbs soaking wet (lol) Josh is a ******* tank, easily 150lbs over wormboy. I don't see how Josh driving would make it faster....Just his the extra 100lbs-180lbs of added weight would be an obstacle in trying to lower the E.T's
On a side note trap speed of 110 is not too bad.

Let's see some 60s. That's just as important as the ET in my eyes.
To the fellow above me. It's funny you mention weight of the driver, because my little brother 60s worse than me, but always snags an extra mph. That weight matters.

These cars make decent power. They trap higher then most ls1's did. But you have to remember they are 3800-3900 lbs and have IRS. Add that to the stock tires and nothing you do is going to net you an impressive launch. 2.2-2.4 seems the "norm" so far.
Once the modding begins (and perhaps a little diet) these cars are going to shine. My biggest problem is the pricetag. If I'm going to spend 38K+ on a car then it's gonna be on a C6 Corvette which is a much lighter car and much better looking (IMO).

The DA hung between 1900 and 2100 ft. Friday. Not the best conditions, there was a good tail wind though. It was great to see it run.
Corrected times for the Stock 13.46 is 13.16 and the tuned/CAI 13.09 is 12.8.

the 20 inch wheels are killing it. I wonder how mucgh that tire/wheel combo weighs? I don't see many stock LS1's trapping 109-110mph stock. There's alot of give and take with the new camaro. More hp cool looks..downside more weight/less traction. Wait til some puts a good set of slicks/skinnies. pulls out the bs weight and adds some gears in the rear...see what happens then in 0 DA.

If the 1SS could have the 4 gauge pod it would be perfect, but no biggie I suppose.
Considering I can go build one on Chevy's site for around 33k with the sunroof and RS package I'd say they're overpaying or paying extra for the other expensive wheels or getting the 2SS for the leather and stuff (which honestly leather isn't that big a deal to me).

I don't care about ET's, I didn't expect it to be quicker than the 4th gens. But a little over 1mph trap speed with a CAI and tune is not impressive. A better mod would be getting rid of the SUV wheels and tires.
