I have an 02'Camaro LS6 heads,LS6 manifold,ported tb an deleted the muffler, stock tranny,stock rear end(3.42's)with some sticky mickeys 275/40/17 on the back. With a lil VHT it hooks real hard but I'm Just Curious To See What RPM Others Have Launched Their Camaros When They Had a Stock Rearend On Tire.

I lifted tire and got a 1.60 60' not bad since the rear has over 160 passes on it now and daily driving in there as well lol...

OP I figured you had a 6 speed I was just being a smart ass lol.

My car dynoed 421 to the wheel back in the day, and I launched on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S street tires (275/40/17) to the tune of a 1.88 sixty foot.

That was on stock suspension except for rear LCA's. I imagine someone with more suspension mods could probably hit 1.7's pretty easy.

I've went 1.44's consistently for about 1 year, sheered the ring gear, then the next set of gears out lasted the 6 transmissions. Everything was stock, leaving at idle on the unit, car ran 10.80-11.00 back in 02-03.

On a stock driveshaft? Stock rear-end? It dead hooked an nothing broke beside the clutch giving out on you?

My best all motor pass launching at 3500 was 12.73@109mph...I haven't sprayed off the line but after hearing a couple guys on here why not press my luck? I think I might try it this week!Haha Its Time For Upgrades if anything breaks

So Side-steppin the Clutch at 3500rpm an pulling a 1.73 60ft - 12.7's@109 isn't considered a launch? :read::guns:GTFO

Yessir, the only thing that took a shit that time was the clutch. Im still on the original rear and DS. the rear is untouched except for fluid intervals. She hasnt seen the track since then but has gone about 30k street miles with no issues.
