^^^^ 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.
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 fucking 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
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).

On a side note trap speed of 110 is not too bad.
your wrong.... josh did drive it and got a better 60ft time...and steven's worlds fastest lsx car that your riminding us of is not a standard...Im not saying he cant handle a 13second car im saying i was at the track and he could of launched it a lot better..2.2 60ft time is not acceptable...he ran 2 111mph passes that i saw one 13.1 and the other one was somewhere in the 13's...saying that explains 111mph pass shouldnt be a 13sec pass the launched hurt the 1/4 time..should have been a 12 second pass @ that speed

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.

On the internet - Anything is possible, especially when you don't know what you are talking about.
Nice car but those numbers aren't that great. I was expecting 12's stock without much trouble but those are LS1 times. Actually my 02 had a better ET whan it was stock.
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.

That's what people are reporting that they paid. I'm sure the price will go down a little once the newness wears off. But they are still over priced IMO.

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).
If the 1SS could have the 4 gauge pod it would be perfect, but no biggie I suppose.

The sell the 4 gauge pod seperatly. Im pretty sure within a year there will be a write up on how to install it.
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.

I was talking about the 2SS with all the trimmings which seems to be what a lot of people are buying. The problem here is that there is no 25K Z28 option. And even at 33K I'd rather have a slightly used low mileage C6 Corvette.
