This is full suspension, roll cage, weight reduction, every bolt on.
Forgive me, because the peanut gallery is still going to accuse me of anti-Ford bias, but that's still horrendous, ain't it?

Not in my book. Nearly 130 mph traps?

Sure, compared to your 'Busa it's slow, but that is moving for a car...

I guess a pertinent question is: How much money is in the car now (car + mods)?

Your question is what I was driving at. Seems a whole lotta $$$ were spent. The trap speed is up there, but the ET is still bad.

That's a mid 10 trap, ain't it?

Nearly 130 mph is 10 second territory. Get the 1.6 down to 1.4 and you got high to mid 10's.

Re: GT500 with lots of mods goes 11.81...

they were very excited that their $45K car just ran faster than the Z06.

Id like to know how much money that car has in it or what it would cost to duplicate.

how much better of a 60' time could they get with a car that has a raceweight of 4200 lbs?

The Z06 could still take it on the street on street tires and be much more streetable.

Think of it this way:

If this is the best they've got until 2009, they're in for an epic a$$-whipping...

AS LONG AS GM keeps the weight of the Camaro down and puts the right goodies in place from a powertrain standpoint.

Re: GT500 with lots of mods goes 11.81...

11.06 @ 128.9?

My first thought was that they're still not leaving the line like a 600hp car (I'm guessing, but I don't think I'm too high) with drag radials and suspension should. But then I see that they're pulling 1.6 second 60's? Considering the weight, I think that's phenomenal. I'd certainly love to get out of the hole like that.

Give me the same money spent on that pig, I'll put it into my LS1 and run the same time . They're by no means a "Z06 Killer" yet . That's just ONE car. All the rest are still slow as hell .

Give me 1/4th of the same money spent on that pig, and I'll put it into my 5.0 and run the same time.

But that still wouldn't prove anything, and be fairly meaningless in comparison to the GT500, or a Z06, or a 2009 Camaro, or a [insert car here].

Congrats.

But....that was on an agressive tune with 103 Octane race gas. The car just keeps getting further and further away from relevance to typical owners who will be running these cars on the street.

Regardless, it is very impressive. Slicks and driving practice look like they are going to put that baby in the mid-low 10's. I want to see ya'll add slicks, longtubes, and a new tune (perhaps a more aggresive blower port as well). Then get some seat time and put this baby in the 9's STREET LEGAL!!!!
