Default 2001 SS vs 2010 SS

Not so much a kill story since it was such a short race but more of a question.

Lined up next to a 2010 ss at a stop sign we hit it at about a 15mph roll I pulled a car up until (couldn't hit 3rd can't wait for my Tick M/C). Lined up a second time from a 20mph roll same thing 1.5 until the top of second and still pulling. (had to let off curve)

Talked to the guy his car is an A4 bone stock to the paper filter. I also recently saw an A4 with just a K&N dyno 322 to the tire. My question is. Should I be pulling on a 2010 SS or was he just not pushing it to it's potenial? I think you said your name was Nate but could be wrong good runs bud & a gorgous car. If you read this I'll see you around Mods in sig

Well, did he say he was playing or pushing? To me: same power but you're lighter so a pull would be expected

Your thread is confusing as ****. The new 2010 camaro has a a6 transmission and produces 400 hp stock. The 2010 m6 is rated at 426 hp and they both weigh in at a little over 3800 lbs.

So you talked to the owner of this 2010 camaro and he said it was a a4?

Aside from me having no idea what your talking about still, the answer to your question is, you should be able to take out a new 2010 ss (giving that your a half way decent driver) no problem. But reading through your post a few more times. I still have no ******* idea what your talking about.

I test drove both the a6 and m6 camaros and there slow as molasess. To me they are boring as hell, weight to much, and are over rated. But they are sex on wheels. The interior is so fine and they look great!!

It was an auto because it had paddle shifters. I am new to F-bodys (former mustang/s owner) so please excuse my terminology still learning the in's and out's of these cars. Thanks for the imput I did some more looking around it seems the A6 Camaros need a couple mods to really unleash their potential.

No problem man. Please excuse my inability to follow simple sentence structure. I'm definitly not the brightest bulb up there so I need clearification more often than not. But now that I understand it, good kill!!

I have to ask, do the new Camaros come with paddle shifting?

I believe the L99s (obviously) do. However most reports say that shifting is kind of bad until you get a nice solid tune in there.

Really? Watched a local guy with a 2010 M6 SS bone stock with 3800 on the clock take it to a 12.9 a couple of months ago. Doesnt seem very slow to me.
