Default 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

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.

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?

**** 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

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.

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.
