Default How fast are camaro SS'?

Before buying my car I never took into sight the performance of the Camaro SS'. All driver experience aside, I'm curious to know what times you guys are doing at the track with:

1. Bone stock camaro with tires.

2. Camaro with full exhaust/tires.

3. Camaro with full exhaust and cam (baby or aggressive)/tires.

I know there is less drivetrain loss for you guys cause of the solid rear axle. And because of that you guys make some crazy dyno numbers too. I mean the kind that rival an LS2 engine like mine. Just curious to see what numbers you guys do at the track.

Yea the times with camaros are amazing. When I bought my car I bought it cause well I thought this **** was fast. I never drove a camaro and didn't know much of it. Now as I'm here on this site I'm seeing maybe I got the wrong car???

Keep the times comin!

Low 13's bone stock.
Mid to high 12's with tires and a few bolt ons.
And from mid to high 11's with cam and bolt ons.

I went 7.70s with a basic tune, sticky rear tires, not even full boltons, 3800stall, in my '98 Trans Am. Equals out to a 12.0ish pass at a good track, if not better. That was last year.

To your comment of "I think i got the wrong car"

Your car has much better build quality , along with a nicer interior and better engine bay. A camaro is basicly a shitbox with a good engine / trans. Go sit in one and take a short ride and see what I mean.

If your only after speed per dollar, yes you prolly got the wrong car. If your after an overall good package, you picked a decent ride ( although im not fond of the plain looks the gto has. )

Kinda copying what zero fear said for the hp:$ratio an f body is hard to beat but for comfort and a nice interior i think you made a good choice

Also keep in mind that different years and transmission choices will yield different times. But I'll agree by saying the GTO has a nicer interior and build quality over the F-body. Keep in mind the GTO is heavier as well.

My 2000 Formula A4 3.23 geared car went 13.47 at 103 mph bone stock on street tires (2.06 60 foot), 12.92 at 107 mph with a 1.92 60 foot on M/T stickies, lid, FTRA, ported MAF ends, catback and tune.
