Raced a '10 Camaro
 

And yes it was the V6 and yes it was with my LS1, and yes I put bus lengths on him.

He pulled in the sunoco parking lot after me and explained that he honestly thought he could take me cause he heard that the V6's power had approached the previous Z28's and SS's output. I told them that the magazine and video editors are smoking crack and that the 98-02 LS1's are just about as fast as the new SS.

He could not believe me either when I told him that my previous Z28 with the LT1 did a 13.8 bone stock.

So yea, kinda made him think different on his purchase...he says that he wished he would have saved a few grand and got the SS or just purchased a fourth gen :-)

:bow:

Props to him though, the car was beautiful. It was the 2LT I believe, yellow with black stripes..the 4 pack gauges. It was as loaded as a V6 Camaro was allowed

Yeah they are blind to anything but hp ratings. That car is wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy heavier so equal hp to an earlier lighter model means nothing.

Power under the curve :) How much tq does that new v6 make?

Power:weight FTW!

:shrug: It was a V6 camaro, beat a SS and then it will be a good kill

Dushore...you aren't that far from me, I'm actually heading to Numidia this weekend so hopefully I will race a new SS :-)

Yeah I know where palmerton is, are you going to Numidia on Fri night? I would like to see a new SS run against a fairly stock LS1.

I saw a 2010 SS auto put down 325rwhp/325rwtq on a mustang dyno... bone stock. Not bad, but it is heavier than a 4th gen. They are good looking though.

I think the point of this story is the fact that he totally popped this guy's bubble about how badass his new camaro is.

Yes, very good sir

273 lb-ft.

he wont take any of our 4th gen ls1s but i'd like to see one of the v-6 5th gens up against a new 4.6L GT mustang i bet it'd b close if the camaro doesn't in fact win :lol:

It's nice to think that, but assuming equally talented drivers and no mishaps, the GT wins every time. Compared to a 2010 Mustang GT, the 2010 Camaro LS/LT is heavier, has a bit less horsepower, has a LOT less torque, and has a gearing disadvantage.
