BAD-GTO

And good runs and kill for that ss but why would people even race with the TC on in the first place? **** sucks...I made it a habit to turn off TC in my old goat and now in my c5...well cept for when it rains out.

nice runs

WishIhadaNiceCar

great race! Cant argue with the top end of the Ls3, weight, TC on, ect...ect...4th gear in those things are just nasty.

Don't want to ruffle your feathers folks but I've yet to see a stock SS run with a new mustang at the track. It isn't even close. From what I've seen, the mustangs run anywhere from high 12s to mid 12s stock. The camaros generally run in the mid 13s to low 13s stock.

I'm not trying to bash the new SS but I do want to give credit where it is due. The 5.0 mustang is a beast.

Consider this, Ford underates the hp of the mustang , and it is 200+ lbs lighter. From what I've seen, the stang actually makes more rw hp than the SS.

I'm still yet to see a bone stock 5.0 run a 12 at the track. I have witnessed a bone stock A6 SS run a 12.9 though.

I have seen a bone stock 2011 GT go 12.78 at our track. The DA was -900 though. I've never seen a new camaro go below mid to low 13's stock.

I witnessed my buddy who has a 2010 camaro with cai/headers, and a tune on street tires and stock wheels with no weight reduction run low 12's and dog stomp a new 5.0 auto with tires cai, tune, and suspension multiple times.. soo IMO the new 5.0's are great and all but they are not all they are cracked up to be... Though I would like to have one..

i agree 100%, im STILL flabbergasted people are still arguing over this.

you camaro guys are absolute fucktards. its math, and nothing else. power:weight+traction = DUH. WINNING.


and all i hear is "OH I SAW THIS I HEARD ABOUT THAT MY BROTHER COUSINS GIRLFRIENDS BROTHERS CAMARO RUNS 10'S WITH A CAI AND SLICKS YO!"

and put it this way, your fastest built motor N/A car is STILL slower than the quickest bolt on 5.0 mustang...

I wonder what math was used in that vid.....must be a different kind than you use.

Hey dumbass, did you watch the video? Oh I can't wait to hear your excuse on this one. Wake and get off of Ford's dick. The new 5.0 is not an 11 sec. bolt-on car. The fastest all motor 5th gen is in the 10's. You can't believe a bolt-on mustang runs that, can you?

"The new 5.0 is not an 11 sec. bolt-on car."

Yes it is. Even an auto. I have done it with full weight in two different cars. Don't take them lightly.

Dark SS

I'll stop taking them lightly when I get beat by one. I think they are over hyped and evenly matched to an LS3 with someone that can drive behind the wheel.

You're just another person talking out of your ***. If he were closer to IL I would invite him to Rt. 66 this Saturday and video tape the pass and laugh at the excuses I hear.

Better yet, why don't you come down Saturday and I can skullfuck your WS.6?

haha because i'm not the one spouting a bunch of bullshit about how badass my car is and how no 2011 gt mustang can touch it. i'll save myself the trip, the ws6 went 13.24 @ 103 in the 1/4. i don't even know if it would make it on a roadtrip that far. if you didn't notice, that gt is a legic 11 sec bolt-on car that is only getting quicker/faster. there is really no need to be so cocky. besides, unless you're sitting on a 120 car, you stand no chance against that gt...pretty simple.

Yea because it take a 120 car to outrun a 110 car

pretty sure that stang went 118 at its last track outing...

wow dude. a street racing video is INCREDIBLY scientific, now that that video has been released all doubts are put to rest. a heavier car with less power and less traction is faster than the mustang, damn, you got me. my physics prof musta been bull shitting me.

they were running 10's bolt on just 2 months after the cars hit the show room floors. i provided proof to you tools months ago. should i dig up the threads? they're also making 500+whp h/c/i now too, out of a ******* 5.0...

wait, wheres the 10 second bolt on camaro? or the 9 second bolt on + spray camaro? all i hear you guys do it bitch, and make up bull **** excuses.


5TH GEN CAMAROS ARE SLOW ******* PIGS.

yes, ford finally got a decent motor in the mustang, and you're butt hurt. its okay...

If GM was to redesign a new motor for the proposed redesigned and lighter Camaro it would eat the Mustang up. Imagine a 5.5 version of the Coyote in a car that weighs a lot less.

Well, GM officially announced that the Camaro would, at some point in the future, be switching to their new Alpha Chassis. The Alpha Chassis will allow for GM to build a lighter, more agile next-gen Camaro, and that's a good thing. Here's some more speculation concerning the future of the Camaro though! GM has announced that they have a new engine in the works for the next-gen Corvette, and apparently the C7 will be powered by a naturally aspirated, direct-injection 5.5L V8 putting out 440 Horsepower. While the displacement on this engine's smaller, the numbers are nice (and it supposedly vastly fuel efficient over its current C6 counterpart) , and I imagine we'll probably see this new Chevy Small-Block becoming the engine du jour of the next gen Camaro SS, in some fashion. To keep the Corvette price-tag in line, they'll probably tune it down some, but that still just means the engine's not far from unlocking all of those extra ponies. All in all, it seems like a nice step in the right direction of engine design by GM, regardless of the smaller displacement.
