Track Results are in for 2010 CAMARO SS!!
What in the hell is wrong with people. So this is a slow time...so what. Some mags ran 13.8 with the ls1 cars at 103mph.
Why is it that when a new car comes out it is automatically compared with the absolute best times ever achieved by the previous model?
13.0 at 111 has been achieved by a couple different sources. That is a good 3-4 mph over the highest traps EVER recorded in stock ls1 cars. So basically this thing nearly matches the best ET ever recorded for a stock 4th gen while using 20 inch wheels and smokes its trap speed right out of the gate in a magazine test and this isnt good enough?
Now give the new camaro some time to break in, some differing conditions, and some drivers who can make the 20's hook and mid 12's will happen stock I guarantee it. And The same goes for the trap...I doubt 111 is the fastest they will go stock. 113-114 wouldnt surprise me either.
but let me guess...this still isnt good enough
and yeah it will still be a 13 second car to the average driver...you know why? let me think hmmm...maybe because it isnt easy to launch a vehicle with over 400 horsepower and then perfectly powershift it down the track at just the right rpm on just the right day with just the right conditions blah blah blah.
Have you ever seen average drivers race vipers, ferraris whatever you name it, guess what they run with them most of the time.... 13's and even 14's. That will never change.
A shitty driver could maybe even do a little better with a 4th gen because they are easier to launch. But this doesnt change the fact that the 5th gen is the faster car

This video sucks, but one of my boys had the video camera, so I was relegated to the digital camera again. What's worse is that I was sitting in the stands because my feet were tired and I did not see anything spectacular in the line coming up. When I saw this car in the tunnel I did not have time to get down the stands and get close. Any way here is the video.

It's more then good enough for nice fast street car. Not sure I would pick it for a guy like me with a serious addiction to quarter mile drag racing.

It's the same thing here. Some people are impressed with the new camaro and some are dissappointed. Neither is wrong because neither can be right. Not when discussing personal opinions anyway.
Everyone is just expressing thier opinions. Some people think a 13 second car is fast while others think your slow until you hit 9's. Neither is wrong. Neither is stupid. Neither is ignorant.

Most seem to forget the fact that the 5th gen is light years ahead of previous generations in almost every other way. And for those that seem to think the LS1 was a low 13 sec car need to think again. Yes it happened, but on average they were a mid 13's car, I even remember more than one mag running them in the high 13's. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, some just seem to be more logical than others
Most of the bashing also seems to be coming from those that weren't even old enough to wipe their own *** when LT1's were roaming the streets, let alone the almighty TPI, TBI, CFI and carbed crap from the 80's. If this car is such a dog, please take a ride in any of the above mentioned vehicles and get back to me...and that's not directed at your Darren.
here's my **** vid too with time slip

Yeah, he ran 12.58, but his car is not bone stock - as he stated he had CAI and a tune. It was 77 degrees out side when he made that pass. It was a very impressive run. After he puts headers and exhaust on it should really fly. I look forward to seeing it lay down some low 12's with only a few things done to it.

You can't satisfy everyone. In my opinion, the car is far better than it's predecessor. Unfortunately, for alot of us on these boards, a car's worth is defined a 1/4 mile at a time. Yeah the car may not be as fast as some of us would've liked but you're getting a lot of preformance for your money.

+1 how much does that package cost $500 plus for what a 1mph gain? That is a freaking joke most guys can do the ziptie mod and gain more mph then that and the cost is free. Those who say those are pretty good numbers need a reality check.

Our "complaint" was the car was a low to mid 13 second car stock straight from the dealer. And it seems that is still probably true. We need some guys to take the car to the track with nothing done to it and report the results.
