Street Racing & Kill Stories - 2013 1SS vs 2011 GT

Me and my brother did a few runs the other day. My car is bone stock with 750 miles. I picked it up last week. My brother's car is stock as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzI44XX-XXo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Good runs. You had the advantage with the manual. But good runs. Go do a dig...lol

Awesome races, looked like a good matchup! Your car looks sharp in white.

Looks like you have him covered easily.



Ohio how come you say the auto's are faster then a manuel Camaro beats one you make another excuse.

From a dig at the track they do run faster on average. Easier to launch/drive. And 2 stock cars one being manual and one auto on a roll race
Come on really? Lets face reality every knows the 5.0 is the faster car out the two when compared to the SS.

Dude get over it. My auto SS beat manual 5.0s. Good runs op, way to dis-prove the 5.0 internet hype once again.

He choose the speeds. He manually geared down the tranny to make sure there was no delay. I think Chevy did something with the 2013. Electric p/s and dual mode exhaust definitely woke the car up. If you noticed on the last run when he jumped, I immediately stopped his pull and started slowly realing him in. His car ran 12.90 at 110.

Good runs.

That SS looks really sharp in white!

Great runs. Nice to know the newer SS cars are a little quicker too.



As far as the Mustangs I have so give Ohio some credit. I have friends with a 2011 GT manual and a 2012 GT auto. They both have the same Ford Racing tune, GT500 catback, and stock everything else.

At the track the auto pulls out from the light, by the 1/8th mile the manual passes him and keeps pulling slowly. Manual ran 12.7s to the autos 12.9s (3000+ DA). From a roll it would not be pretty for the auto IMO.

Those new 5.0s definitely aren't easy to beat with a 5th gen

Nice runs!

Good runs. With the dual mode exhaust, are the 13's rated higher as well?

Wait..so what's all this stuff I hear about auto's trapping higher than manuals, like some people claiming 114-115 bone-stock in an A6? Now this video pops up and manuals are supposed to be faster all of the sudden. LOL

And isn't the fastest stock 5.0 a auto? :confused:

Shit happens. They aren't all going to run the same.

Just saying in the case of these 2 particular cars, the auto would definitely get hurt from a roll.

I could care less, but it is amusing to see a 5th gen owner using his car and using it properly to shut down the Mustangs which are supposed to slaughter 5th gens all day long. I think the 5th gen gets a bad rep from the average morons that buy them (much like your average Corvette owner).

Why didn't you run from a dig or the light after second run?

Wow the 13s are faster for sure in regards to the SS

good runs... regardless of which is faster... i wish they made an A6 Boss 302.. because as of Saturday night, i now have a 45k paperweight thanks to the awesome chinese built MT82 transmission. Its stuck in second gear with a busted shift fork. Ugh

im suprised they let 2011's go and did nothing later for that year and still with the 2012's having the same issues. Sucks man hope they fix it quick and your on the road again.

my week will consist of de-modding and bring it back for warranty work

Do you have a aftermarket shifter? If not get one that has stops on it-that will prevent the fork from bending

and im a firm believer that both the M6 GT and M6 SS will be a side by side roll race. The only reason the GT runs a bit stronger at the track is due to its much better 8th mile performance. More gear and less weight... A properly driven fifth gen is no joke. My buddy has a 2010, other then 2 years of seat time and a very slight tune... the car is bone stock including tire. Hes gone 12.7 at 111 with it. And he can go 12.7 on the street.

Do you have a aftermarket shifter? If not get one that has stops on it-that will prevent the fork from bending

Its tough because its a remote shifter, and yes i have a hurst with a pistol grip on it (the day i put it on i knew i was going to break it with the amount of leverage i had). The shifter doesnt have shift stops. Ill be ordering an MGW shifter and using the stock shifter ball. It has shift stops. This whole time i was worried about crushing synchros but mine are all fine. Just a broken/bent fork. Id like to find some carbon synchros and billet forks... would def strengthen this trans a good bit. The gear size is actually pretty decent. Everything around the gears is junk though

Nice runs. Good brotherly fun.

OOOPPPPPSSS....I guess I shouldn't have asked how your trans was holding up the other day.:(

OOOPPPPPSSS....I guess I shouldn't have asked how your trans was holding up the other day.:(

you jynxing SOB!! I think i may have to call Joe Heck racing and see about those billet shift forks and carbon synchros... then this might actually be a decent trans.

I would like to run a m6 gt. Everyone said the autos are faster and now the story changes. I had a 2012 ss and this car definitely feels a good bit quicker. Don't sleep on a 5th gen with driver mod...:drive:

Idk who ever said the autos were faster, they must have been retarded lol. Which is faster in the SS on the roll... the m6 or auto. Not discrediting your car. You gave the a6 a whooping. You and a stock m6 gt with a driver will be a great race on the roll. My guess is side by side. All the A6 cars wake up well with a tune and gears. But i would say you have a strong runner and you can drive it well. try and get a run in with a stock m6 gt. Ive still yet to see those 2 cars go at it with both cars being driven to the best of there ability.

Which is faster in the SS on the roll... the m6 or auto.

That's not really a good comparison, lol.

....cough....cough....Ohio.....cough....fart

That's not really a good comparison, lol.

lol y not. That same 2010 i was referring to raced his friends new 2013 SS auto on the roll. Put about 2-3 cars on it to 130.

....cough....cough....Ohio.....cough....fart

lol... theres a plus and minus to each trans. MT82 - faster, fun, junk. A6 - slower, boring, quality build.

lol y not

The M6 is rated 26 more hp than the A6.

The M6 is rated 26 more hp than the A6.

this is true. The a6 GTs also come with 3.15 gears.

I think the A6 SS has a 3.27 and the M6 has a 3.45. I could be slightly off, but it's in that range.

That sucks. Tracy owner of maximum velocity has went threw 3 tranniesin her boss. It hates power. She was featured in MM&FF with the 3.6l KB installed. Its been down since the TX mile. She swapped it to an auto.

Her busting trans makes sense since shes turned over 800whp at one point

those ratios are correct :thumb:

nice to see a guy who knows how to roll race an auto.

If anyone in the Atlanta area has a stock m6 gt and wants to run, pm me. I would be more than happy to line them up and compare on video.

^i wanna see this

Every car runs differently even though they could be the same make/year model.

Other variables include driver, traction, tires etc, tuneup, fuel type...stuff you don't see or hear about when coming across a lot of these videos.

One video showing a GT losing to an SS and the other way around isn't the Bible of how all these runs SHOULD be.

Her busting trans makes sense since shes turned over 800whp at one point

Yes she has with race gas. But she has broke all three on regular 93 octane. One at drag strip, one on highway, and then one at Texas mile. All three times just playing around with it. And just over 650whp.

Good driving and nice runs. Would also like to see the run vs an M6 GT. I'll be having another one of those posted shorty vs my bolt-on WS6 :)

Wish they would have rocked the LS3 with the A6 instead of the L99. Yeah, there isn't that much difference - but stock for stock, the autos are dogs

SS Camaro sprayed, no way the fat pig kept up with an all mighty 5.0

Me and my brother did a few runs the other day. My car is bone stock with 750 miles. I picked it up last week. My brother's car is stock as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzI44XX-XXo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Where are you hiding the bottle?

Good Kill
Summit White Looks Good On the Camaro.
...
I raced a m6 ss / a 370z m6 and won both roll races but i know it was the driver i beat still felt good

dogs is an understatement.

dogs is an understatement.

agreed as well, when i worked for the dealer only drove the auto's a couple of times. Stock form they are terrible, my friends G37 intake and exhaust would beat it, once it gets up higher in the rpms it would SLIGHTLY pull or keep even but as soon as it shifted fell back and in the end lost by a couple of cars.

Sarcasm I hope...this is my brother. Why would i go through the trouble to put a bottle on my car and jet it just to pull him by a car? The car is bone stock down to the paper filter. Just a side note, shipping weight for the car was only 3750 with 1/4 of gas.

my neighbour bought a 2010 l99. my stock-ish ws6 just crushed it. the stock l99 was running low 14's.

Not suprised by it at all. The L99 being able to be more gas efficient should've gone down the drain knowing the car weighs as much as it does, its a muscle car and not meant to get you the best MPG's.

All those doggy l99s need the fuse pull mod. Once it trips to the low octane table it will not reset without pulling the fuses to reset the ecm

good runs.

one thing i think this video does illustrate well is how hard someone stealing the hit, even by a split second, is hard to overcome. the camaro pulled hard even steven, no doubt. also from the sounds of it - you can drive, son.

The 1ss is slightly lighter mine weighed 3710 without me in it. still heavy compared to my 4th gen tho.

:eyes:
So a slight modded G37 that has no torque and not even 350hp won by a couple of cars. I'll keep that in mind...

agree the afm is not needed and gm shouldnt tried to favor mpg for hp but losing 26hp doesnt make it a "dog"

I be here, da king of 5th gens wassup my little girls.

This is clearly the 5th gen spraying. IMpossible that a 5th gen beats anything really unless said car has 200-300 less hp.

well in reality they have at least 50 less hp to the wheels over an ls3, and shift like a worn out 83 th700r4. a tune does help significantly though.

Would have liked to see you get a bit faster than 110ish. Too short of a race to judge much. Race should have gone the other way, but both cars are still decently matched.

How long of a race do you need? lol. Neither of these cars trap much over 110 stock anyhow. Can pretty much see between those 2 which is quicker.

not enough room to go faster...we will get some more runs in this weekend and run them up a little higher around 130-140. I predict a steady pull all the way.

Just to clear the air...NO NITROUS! My avitar was from my 02 z06 on 100 shot and my h/c 99 ss on a 100 shot. I do plan on spraying. Im still trying to decide on a kit. My brother will be installing his nitrous outlet kit soon as well.

Then they can do a dig race if your talking trap speeds. The stang probably traps slightly higher. Going from 20-30 mph to just over 100 mph is not a very long run, and the slightest jump can mean a win or loss. If you drag it out to 130-140 mph, it gives a better indication of the difference between the cars, and sometimes one car will fall on the hit and catch back up.

I didn't assume you had nitrous. Just have personally raced a well driven M6 5.0 and they are phuckin quick. Never seen an auto in action so who knows, maybe they are slugs like the L99 SS's stock.

The mustang lost people. Quit making ricer excuses.
What really happened is a good driver instead of a grocery getter grandpa drove his car to its potential.

whats the fastest stock longblock NA fifth gen run?

This is still impossible.

L99 obviously spraying a 150.

Why ???? You gonna internet race us some more.:eyes:

i don't know about many l99 5th gens, but i drove my girlfriend's bone stock l99 to a 12.90 @ 107....slow? yes. Dog? not in my opinion...

Again I ask, wasn't the fastest bone-stock time of 12.22@115 supposedly ran by an A6 car @ Cecil? Up until now everyone has claimed the auto's to be just as fast or faster than the 6M. Must be a lot of "retarded" people around here. :eyes:

I'm wondering am I the high hp 5th gen on ls1tech!?!?

I know dietcoke is all motor and has massive weight reduction but I think he's like 500/550rwhp isn't he?

Wish I could run him or most of you guys :( Fucking only have literally 5 cars to run down here. A fucking 24psi procharged foxbody that's 1xxx rwhp.... a 780awhp evo x (faster in the world apparently ams x900 with upgraded turbo), a BLGTR1300 (1130awhp), a 670awhp sti that ran 9.97 and a 760awhp evo 8.

:( No one else will race me.

This just in, the 5.0 lost to a gen5.

Stock longblock gen 5 record is somewhere mid 11s. Not gutted, just bolt ons and drag wheels.

As far as i know, ive never heard of this car... maybe some fabled car. But to my knowledge, the fastest was a 12.1 at 114 by a stick car. Either way... i dont have a coyote... so i could give 2 shits about it.

I dont feel any extra badass with any car i own. Im on here all the time defending realism... most of the time im defending GM cars. But it seems whenever i defend the realism of the potential of a 5.0... i get flamed for being a nutswinger blah blah blah. If had enough of it. I really do have better thing to do then to defend cars i do not own.

Cecil is a very fast track. Sans Atco the fastest I think around after 15 years of doing this everywhere in the US.
And like I mentioned before unless you see these cars running in person its hard to verify whats done and whats not done. Lot of local 5.0 shops out here got caught fibbing on mods at MIR etc...

Want to read up on what they can do from a shop that has been around since 1990 then read here. These guys don't bullshit

LoL, guess him changing cars now makes him a "dick".

op its a good kill. a manual SS is within .1-.2 of a GT. drivers race and always will be.

GK OP>>>>now...



Dude get over it. My auto SS beat manual 5.0s. Good runs op, way to dis-prove the 5.0 internet hype once again.

internet hype. lol. your 400hp(330rwhp 3800lb.) auto beat a driver. stock l99 SS is a joke.

nice dig...

nice runs. Congrats on the new 13 SS

All those doggy l99s need the fuse pull mod. Once it trips to the low octane table it will not reset without pulling the fuses to reset the ecm

This... people using 'cheap' gas to save money are to blame for that I believe.

internet hype. lol. your 400hp(330rwhp 3800lb.) auto beat a driver. stock l99 SS is a joke.

I never raced a 5.0 when i was stock, I raced one when I had lts cai and tune. He also had lts, cai, tune. It was a manual 3.73 car, beat him from a 50 roll up to about 120 when we had to lift because of traffic. Stock l99s have run high 12s, not what Id consider a dog. Premium fuel, running on high octane timing in ecm, and all the nannies off is all it takes to run bottom 13's and high 12's in a stock l99.

What has your gt ran at the track btw assasinator?

Thats the one im referring to.

That's my old manual. I had the car for two weeks. Traded my G8 GT.

That sucks. Tracy owner of maximum velocity has went threw 3 tranniesin her boss. It hates power. She was featured in MM&FF with the 3.6l KB installed. Its been down since the TX mile. She swapped it to an auto.

I remember when I first ran into her on the street. :buttkick:

What has your gt ran at the track btw assasinator?

As of last year he claims to have never drag raced the car... I'm guessing he has no times.

what did you think of all the awesome wheel hop?

Evan are you being serious about the wheel hop thing? I'm very surprised wheel hop hasn't been completely eliminated from cars by now with all of the changes made over the years.

Evan are you being serious about the wheel hop thing? I'm very surprised wheel hop hasn't been completely eliminated from cars by now with all of the changes made over the years.

100%... the 3 link is an awesome design in these cars... but the mounting points are nothing more then stamped steel junk. Before my car even got an air intake... the back half of the cars suspension was completely redone.

BMR Billet Aluminium Control arms
BMR Relocation brackets
BMR Upper adjustable control arm
J&M Aluminium Pan hard bar
BMR pan hard bar support
Roush springs

The only thing still stock in the back suspension is the tokico adjustable shocks and sway bar. And ill be changing out to a BMR bigger rear sway bar with billet links. My car is impossible to get to wheel hop. It either spins or hooks. The factory wheel hop is bad to the point of the stock 6 spd GTOs.

what did you think of all the awesome wheel hop?

i didn't notice any. just did the clutch slip thing at 3000 rpm to launch. you can sure feel the v-tec kick in around 5900 rpm!

Okay did I read right, evangto87 "doesn't" own a coyote? Wtf am I missing? Half the thread? lol.

Its a BOSS not a pesky Coyote.....lmao

Wow massive thread hi-jack...

Sorry man, most SRK threads turn into a pissing match. It was good to see some honest vids of 2 nice cars battling it out.

Good runs. You had the advantage with the manual. But good runs. Go do a dig...lol

And 2 stock cars one being manual and one auto on a roll race
Come on really?

Your Ford fanboi mind tricks do not work on me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPcod8IS214

Please bish. That 6 spd auto in the 5.0 has far better roll race ratios:

1st. 4.17. 2nd. 2.34. 3rd. 1.52. 4th. 1.14.

Sooooooooo disadvantaged............especially with that torque converter added to those ratios amirite?

News flash to the 'ol guard. The autos these days have better ratios than the M6s out there, and at least 3.xx rear gears. This isn't 1998 where shit had 3.06:1, 1.63:1, 1:1 and thats it through a pair of 2.73s. Autos used to suck at 40 rolls and above because they had to start out in damn near M6 3rd gear (1.63:1 for GM Autos). The tables have turned. The ratios are up and the torque converter doesn't do them any bad favors either. Stock autos suffer from lazy shifting (torque management) yes, but the torque multiplication from lower speeds can help make up for that a bit.

People around here needz da science. It's popular to just agree to someone saying "autos can't roll", but if your going to say that, feel free to back up WHY you think that with more than just "uhhh cuzz this one time, in band camp, a 5.0 auto lost to a 5th gen".

Autos can roll, but not just by stabbing and steering lol

i didn't notice any. just did the clutch slip thing at 3000 rpm to launch. you can sure feel the v-tec kick in around 5900 rpm!

Yea thats eliminated with the track key. Mines on all the time :)

Mild to Wild key?

What has your gt ran at the track btw assasinator?

never been to the track with this car. never will. BUT

ive put MILES on every L99 ive run into. im sure cammed/bolt ons it would be closer or a loss for me, but im just a mild 5.0.

not much at all really... WOT is pretty much the same, they just turn off tq management and all that jazz. No skip shift... but part throttles are much snappier.

nice runs.
