Order 2010 Camaro

we made a few runs on a warm humid day with a head wind. all runs were made with traction control off. any more rpm over 3000 and the tires would spin. tires were at full tire pressure. we may try it again with the TC on. there is no doubt that if we let some air out of the rear tires it would 60 ft. quicker. i am sure that under ideal track conditions and with plenty of seat time that the car is capable of 12.9-13.1 times at 110 mph. but it is what it is.

We are going to re-test the car tomorrow and try to get the 60 ft time closer to 2.0. That should give a more representative ET for the car. Thanks for the feedback.

Damn my bone stock 2000 SS went 2.0 60ft. 8.64 1/8 at 84 mph Automatic.
How long till you run it again?

short shifting

Nice…even on the poor 60ft and short shifting it put up some serious mph… going to be in the 12s easy with a capable driver and conditions.

Any idea what the DA was?

awesome

13.0 my ass lol lol

HA! Shelby GT500, that thing cant touch a Cobra, The new GT well run that thing easy, it well be a drivers race with the advantage going to the camaro

car and driver and road and track both got a 13.1@111 with the manual, and a 13.2@109 with the auto if i can remember, so therers def more in her. id love to get one of these! too bad insurance would probably rape me…

HPE700 edition would be even better

not bad, will be sick with some boltons.. You should try crossing the trap in 3rd.

52 in first gear, damn

the camaro ss and challenger rt are almost the same when it comes to the 1/4, but mark my words, you mopar and shelby fans are going to hate the Z28 camaro with that ZR1 motor in it

rs not ss!

Compare the price of a Cobra against this. Now put the remaining dollars into performance upgrades and see what happens.

If the Z28 ever comes out it will eat a gt500. And I drive a Mustang…

Edmunds got 13.0 here on youtube. Imagine with a 1.6-1.8 60ft! As more of these hit the road, wouldn’t be surprised to see 12’s.

i like the gearing, sounds like 4th is gonna be a tad bit long

I’m a little disappointed in the SS. My stock 2002 SS ran 13.2 and was rated at 325hp. Whats the weight on the new Camaros?

2.3 60ft…….you know you can get a better run resulting in better times…..should be atleast 13.1 in the 1/4

Yea, they are on par with the 98-02 Ls1’s. My 01 SS went 13.50 at 106 bone stock with a 2.2 or 2.3 60 ft. . Better 60 ft times will net low 13’s. He bogged the car out the gate just like I did mine. 2.0/ 2.1 60 ft with street tires are possible.

You need a solid rear axle in that thing or some better tires. My 06 Mustang GT Auto., w/ basic bolt ons = 300rwhp and 306rwtq. (appx. 355hp at the crank) will run high 12’s in the 1/4 (best 12.8 @ 110) with the stock 3:31 gears, control arms, and rubber! How does a 426hp car muster only a mid 13sec 1/4 mile? IRS or not, thats messed up! I hope it’s just not hooking up on those street tires.I like the new camaro but I hope we see better results down the road.

This car is easy 12s. seems like everyone that drives this car is afraid to use the full power. Gotta do the no lift shift.

Other test have came in at 13.0, 110 MPH stock. I think guys like this take it to the track before it’s broke in, don’t know how to drive it at 100% of it’s potential, and probably don’t even use premium gas. The factory exhaust is restricting as well. This car’s only real flaw I can see is that it’s a little too heavy, & I wish GM would have put in the effort to shave off 200 lbs. Oh well, aftermarket part like headers & exhaust, intake, & thermostat, etc. will help out a lot.

you shift like a little girl.

Yeah i’ve seen better times from the SS Camaro, ive seen drag videos of the SS beating out an SRT-8 Challenger and barely getting pulled by GT500s, as for the weight ive never had a problem with the it, Camaros have always been a little heavier, little more powerful, and slightly pricier than Mustangs, i really think Camaros need a track pack option, add 3.70s or 3.80 gears on a live axle (more durable gearing lower costs) and that notorious stiff as hell Camaro performance suspension
