Lost to a Camaro SS 6spd My friends and I had some fun tonight in mexico...I had multiple runs from 15-100, 30-120, and 60-120....The only time I kept up was from the 30-70 then he would pull about 2 cars quick..He only said he has intake and straight pipes...Also ran a 335ci and beat him everytime except for the first run where I spun badly and over-revved...I took by two cars or more before I let off..We got up to about 140...what need to be done to beat the camaro if there is a solution besides my needing to retune.

i have raced a camaro z-28 with intake,tune,exhaust,headers and he would put anout 2 cars on me.
auto versus auto and both being stock,its a good race
but since he is a good driver you would need intake,tune,exhaust,shift kit, and probably a bit more.
when he shifts is your chance to catch up really so if you can shift as fast as possible it will defiantly help

3.69 gears with a camshaft would do the trick. If you can't afford a cam swap, then get some 1.8 roller rockers.
2nd and 3rd gear will always be sluggish due to the factory gearing.
3.69's will help a lot!

Weight transfer to the rear needs to be eleminated. If you are serious about traction, then contact Arraut Motorsports http://arrautmotorsports.com/grand-prix/ and have them build you a custom adjustable rear coil over kit. They offer adjustable shocks with stiffer coils which will help keep the front end planted. I also recommend ZZP front lower control arms http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...for-WBody.aspx The arms had problems in the past, but have since been fixed. The will prevent flex and maintain proper alignment/tire contact patch.
As hard as it is... Try to keep racing off of the streets

For traction I recommend some sticky 275/40/18 summer tires on the stock wheels.
