2010 ss six speed

[SLPSS]

did anyone else see what chan. 2 had one at the strip in n.j. it ran 13.8, 13.8, then changed to a better driver that raced there and worked there he ran 13.6, 13.6, then let air out then ran 13.5, 13.5, not too good for a 426 hp car that costs $45000. better watch out for a few lt1s.

I agree Pete
Theres bound to be a few unsuspecting 2010 owners that are going to get there Ass handed to them. Cause we all know anything can happen on the street.

guys...

remember, the LS1 cars are really ~350 hp and ~3400 lbs

The new cars are 426hp and 3900+lbs

so lb/weight they are close but im sure they are slightly faster than an LS1 car given equal conditions and driver.

But also keep in mind - they're CHOKED from the factory.

He managed a best run of 12.02@112mph with a custom CAI, LG Motorsports 7/8 SuperPro Headers and a custom 3″ Magnaflow Exhaust. This Camaro has dynod at 427hp/426tq at the wheels.

And for completely stock:

But, member speedy6963 just dropped the quarter mile times by a lot! His stock Camaro SS manual (LS3) just ran a 12.87 @ 109.08 at Cordova Dragway Park

Exactly correct. They seem to be a tenth or two faster than LS1 cars with equal drivers. Seems to be the norm for LS1 cars is 13.4-13.5, and 13.2-13.3 for 5th gens. LS1 m6 does have a best of 12.89(i think), but I am sure that in the next year or so someone will turn a 12.6 in a 5th gen. Just need a 1.7-1.8 60ft, and powershifting.

Do not forget the unsprung weight of those 20's wheel/tire and the height which is 3" more than a 4th gen. with the same gear ratios for auto and manual. That 3" extra height drops the 3.45 rear to probably 3.1 compared. It is working hard to overcome the weight and gearing along with a thin sidewall that does not want to launch.

All this stuff leads up to my old phrase,
"In a drag race the more powerful car is not always the winner"

IRS doesnt help either.

How do you get a stock 2010 SS to cost $45,000?

[9T8W66]

What a stock L99 Camaro owner has to look forward to.

Yes I know it's a modded M6 Trans Am but RWHP for both should be pretty close.

[my95z28]

Put a CAI, exhaust, TB and a tune on that L99 and it will be a complete role reversal.

Actually a tune may be enough considering all the torque management.

When the dealer jack up the price, expecting someone to pay thru the nose.

Oh, and the car in the link is "used".

Hmmmm ...... now that's just wrong on their part. They can be had for much less than that elsewhere.

So get a Mustang GT and be done with it. Less than 30k out the door and only a few tenths slower than a 5th gen. Oh, and that is with a 15 year old motor too. Wait till next year.


less weight> more power
