Raced a new SS On my way home today from Autozone there was one sitting at a light a couple cars ahead of me. When the light turns green it takes off like a bat out of hell. So im weaving through cars to get up next to it and finally we both get stopped by a red light. I look over and give him the thumbs up and give him a little rev, then he revs back. The light turns green and we both stomp on it. We both spin like hell and he jumps out in front, but when he shifted to second i pulled ahead by about a bumper and stayed there the rest of the time. He shut down at about 90 then turned at the next light lol. I am so pumped right now you have know idea. I thought for sure i would get slaughtered lol

It could have been b/c there was a lot of traffic, and maybe he wasn't going all out. He took off like a bat out of hell, im just as surprised as you are haha

It was most likely driver error on his part. He got the jump and pulled about half a car then as he shifted to second when i did but i have an A4 so i gained a little bit to be just in front of his bumper and thats where we ended up

Good kill OP
But I think he should have you tho..
Maybe he's still breaking in the car.. I think a car that regularly trap high 12 should beat a car that regularly trap mid to low 13

I'm not that surprised. I thought the new SS was only running like high 12's at 108-110. A catback/lid 4th gen can run high 12's as well. It's really a driver's race and these two were neck and neck with the 4th gen barely winning. As mentioned before the 5th gen weighs a LOT more than the 4th gen.

5th gen is faster than 4th IMO, but stock for stock. Those SS will be damn quick when a bit modded. Look at the G8 GT that weights more but theyre quick with just a tune/CAI/cat back. So with the extra displacement/less weight, they will be quicker than the G8.
