Going to the Track this weekend..lets Guess what i will run:)

This is my first time taking the new Camaro to the track. It's a bone stock Y87 with 3.42 Gears ect. I will be a cool day and I am a good driver...what do you think i will run. I am thinking 15.2 or better

If you are the man and can drive your stock car perfectly at a good track, you might see a 15.2.

No way man, try 15.9 - 16.0xx. 15.8 is pushing it a little

My car (a 98 V6 3.8L Firebird) ran a 15.9 @ 84mph in the middle of a hot day in July.

I wish our cars ran 15.2 or better, i would be happy!

Ok, there is no excuse (besides poor driving) to be running high 15's in a 2000+ Y87 if you are at a semi-decent track.

If I had to call it, I'd say it is most likely that you'll be in the 15.5 range,that is if you ran at the tracks that i go to.

With the y87 3.42 package he should run close to that stock...on a good track, anyway. Its the 3.08's that run high 15/low 16s ...the gears I have .

I wonder 3.73 would run...

I disagree, Bobo or "Sono" has the Y87 package with the 3.42's...

Theres no way in HELL he'll run 15.2 as-is with stock tires. i can guarantee it.

Maybe your right, maybe your not...

But 15.5 like u said is not 15.2...
