fastest 2010 ss 1/4 i've seen was a 12.6
fastest 2002 ws6 1/4 was a 12.7
fastest gto was 12.8

so they're all relatively close 1/4mi performance wise in stock trim but the 2010 ss seems to respond to mods better than the others, and it is a brand new car.

i personally would go with the 2010 ss or the gto just because its a new car and i already got a 4th gen f-body.

its really up to you, they are all very good performing cars. really close stock for stock. i guess it depends on what you want to do with the car.

Take it for whats it worth but my 2010 SS as of today has beaten both an LS1 Z28 and LS2 GTO, both had full bolt-on's (including LT's and tune) and all I have is an roto-fab intake and dyno tune. I am very impressed with the LS3 to say the least. I can't wait to get a set of headers and tires and get back to the track. The 2010 gets my vote, but you can't lose either way.

As of a few days ago the 2010 SS record is a 12.5

^^yea i seen the 12.5 just a while ago

also got the chance to drive a 2010 SS A6 earlier today and it seemed to pull just as hard as my car if not more. i love the six speed auto, and i like that you can shift the automatic manually with the paddles too. i was very impressed with the new camaro.

i have also ridden in a 06 GTO and it had a better interior and rode smoother than the other two choices.

I almost bought an 08 vette for about the same price as my new camaro. Would have had a higher interest rate with the used car and I would have also been paying over 30k for a USED car. It was a tough choice but im happy with my car so...
