Good kill. I've seen some fast auto vettes don't get me wrong but when they're close to stock, they aren't what I'd expect. Maybe C7's are different but C4-C6 the autos disappoint me.

Stockish LS2 C6 I believe - which have been as quick as 12.2@115 with the auto.

In 2018 both mustang and camaro will be using the same 10 speed transmission. I think they are both absolutely in cahoots and are using brand biased to help themselves sell and don't give 3 ***** about who's better or faster.

Ford was able to skate by with the dated 3v due to a long period with little to no direct pony car competition so when GM released the 2010 5G Ford knew they needed to step their game up. The back and forth since then only appeals to us car enthusiasts and consumers.
Ouchie on the stock auto times, Necro. Damn lazy GM tunes on the 4l65 and early 6l80 models.

As expected... ran into a C6 also and won... honestly can't say if it was LS2 or LS3 though.. I cant tell the differences. Someone enlighten me on what to look for on my next kill

I agree about the crappy GM auto trans tunes on the 4L series trannies EXCEPT on the 2005/6 GTO's: stock tunes are pretty damned good for the transmission shift points and firmness for the stock power/setup.

Saw one running mid 14's all day to finally get like a 14.2 at the end of the night with the DA at its lowest.

I am upset neither of the big American companies are doing a DCT. DCT's make gm's autos seem like they shift tomorrow. Unbelievable how different and better a DCT drives and it's more efficient to boot.

They have really pushed everybody's expectations on what a traditional torque converter transmission can do. The 8l90 is said to shift as quick as some of the Porsche transmissions.
