'98 Z/28 M6 vs 2012 45th Anniversary RS Auto
So I've heard that this kid at my school with a brand spankin new 2012 Camaro RS (2LT) 45th Anniversary edition thinks he can smash on my 98 Z (I'm stock with some 295 NT05's out back). I mean, for sixer's those aren't too shabby... but really? A V6 that makes no torque in a heavier car with an untouched automatic? I don't think he knows anything about 4th gens or what they are capable of. LS1 is most likely not part of his vocabulary. If we do end up running, I'll be nice and race from a dig, because that stock stall auto would have no chance from a roll since I'm manual. Any predictions on how bad it's gonna be from a dig? From a roll?

Lol... these guys at my school think they are the hottest **** just because they have the camaro from transformers, but they're V6's. I have nothing against the V6's but I hate when guys buy em and flaunt them like their's nothing faster. I agree with you though haha.

I say why even wast your time, that is one thing I cant stand about the 5th gen crowd! There are allot of v6ers that think they have this fast muscle car, its pretty funny. I stay out of those threads, camaro5 is good for that... tinted windows, rims, and racing other v6s

agreed with above comments its a complete waist of time. I drive camaro's pretty much daily at the daelership and although its not a bad car and its not slow just quick and nice looking, you will still beat him from a roll fairly easy. There about 250rwhp with a weight of about 3700lbs if not more and its just not much of a race. Either way race it if you got nothing better to do.

Race him from a dig ,do a damn burnout to ensure better traction and hand him his sorry *** for being so dumb.Also get it on vid please.Yeah its a waste of gas and time but he seems like he deserves a slice of humble pie and you can be the one to give it to him!

I honestly wouldn't mind racing someone if I for sure knew I was going to win, or even lose. I just love the thrill of putting my car up against someone else's. Anyway, UPDATE, he said NO to a race lol. What a tool. Parents got him a $38,000 + car and he just wants to look cool in it. Then again... I wouldn't race a V6 Camaro either lol. Either way, he's in the dark when it comes to racing. He just got that Camaro because it looks cool. There really is no competition for me at my school. My Z is for the most part stock and it's still the fastest car at my school (F Body FTW).

I had to look myself... 2012 Camaro 2LT RS 45th Anniversary Edition starts at $38,000. Hell, he coulda paid more depending on what options he chose. It's the fact that its the 45th anniv. edition that the price is a bit high. I believe I read that the SS 45th A.E. is around $45,000? Crazy for a Camaro with a special 45th paint job, special 45th badges, and special 45th interior. Not worth it AT ALL imo.

LOL yeah, there is something about the 5th gen v6 guys that makes them think they have the fastest thing in the world. When I was in my z06 over the summer, i had some younger guy in a v6 5th gen in some heavy traffic riding my *** in a 30 zone. When the lane to my right opened up he gunned it and got next to me with that "i can take ya look on his face" and reved his mighty V6 at me and took off. He didnt get far as there was a car right in front of him, it was classic!.
well we hit the next light sitting a few cars back in traffic and he rolls down his window and says nice car whats it got? I was thinking WTF you dont know what vettes come with? and i was like its a V8, but i got some mods done(full exhaust and intake at the time). Then he goes " mine is a v6 its fast and has 300 hp what does yours make"? I opened up the exhaust flappers said it makes 505 stock( i wasnt going to try and explain the difference between bhp and whp) and reved the hell out of her. That " i can take you look quickly turned into a please dont hurt me"!
