First 2010 Camaro SS 1/4 mile pass by owner

13.6 @108 from a 2.360ft.
Not a very exciting pass but probably representative of some very average drivers in this car. No word on how many miles it had.
They are after all in the business of making performance parts for the car.

right back at you. The guy has obviously had no practice launching the car, and he's already two tenths quicker than the fastest time anybody has ever gotten out of a stock LT1.It may or may not be about "learning to drive". It might just be learning that car's quirks.

Hmm I just can't see shifting an LS series motor at 6000RPM for best ET or MPH. But I am not a professional or anything. Hopefully they weren't trying to intentionally sandbag.
Interestingly enough that is about what I did (ET and MPH) at Lonestar a couple summers back in my "LS6" Formula except my 60's were worse and I had a little more drama in my launches. I had no luck hooking on street tires there and so the auto was shifting out of 1st at like 4000RPM
(which has since been fixed with different shift point tuning). Hopefully they prepped it a little better for this run.

I guess maybe it's not an issue of "accuracy", but comparing the best time ever accomplished with a stock LT1 to the first time ever reported for a 5th gen is pretty dumb, especially when you throw a at the end, implying that the guy obviously didn't know what he was doing.
I wonder what the first drag time was on an LT1 back in '93?
