Default :( lost again to a 5th gen SS

I was driving in mexico when I saw a 5th gen black SS behind me I was like yes hopefully I will get a good run in...well i hit a light a made a right on a nice long road in mexico, I made sure to go slow about 25mph or so he pulled to the lane next to me, and he got the hit, he put about 1 1/2 cars on me pretty fast and we went to about 90mph & he was ahead by 2 cars, maybe less. We did a few more pulls and the result was always 1 1/2 to 2 cars .. We talked at a red light he said he was a stock m6, he was a cool guy....i wanted a dig run but didnt get it ... Anyways I think he is a member here so I hope to hear from him .... mayb we can arrange and film some runs in mexico......please give your input guys....thanks....

O ya I had a passanger ....lol

I would be pissed if a stock M6 SS beat me in a older SS, i thought it would be a drivers race.

Honestly, I really dont get why 5th gen always lose to near stock 4th gen in this section. By the book, they should win almost everytime. The only explanation I found is that most of plp who buy a 10' SS, its either the auto(slow as **** stock) or just cant shift the hell outta a M6 car.

Why a 105-109mph car would win so often against a 108-111mph car??? I agree most of 4th gen have at least exhaust or lid, so it'll be a drivers race..but stock for stock, I dont get it.

I'd be pissed at myself, for driving all that way to Mexico, just to lose against a new car I should've known better than to race even in America!

UGh like I said too I think both times he had the hit, and I raced a 5th gen at the track, he had a tune, LTs, cai, and I beat him..but from a roll I lost X3 vs different 5th gens

i don't think so. worst part of the 5th gens are the launch. from a roll an LS3 should mop the floor with most minor bolt on 4th gens. pretty sure i watched an m6 5th gen just about hang with an LS2 C6 on here a while back. how many "mild bolt on" 4th gens will do that?

You should have beat him if he was stock, I've raced them from both a dig and a roll and never had a problem pulling multiple cars, but then again I do have a cam, but you have 3.73 gears.... he def has work done IMO

Hmm I have no trouble with them on rolls and our mods are about the same sans converter. Get one asap. Maybe had less fuel than you besides the passenger advantage.

This one did!

OP, I'm thinking it was a combo of you being an auto and having some extra weight. I mean with your mods it seems like you should be pulling a little.

I've been itching to run one of these as well, but the only one I saw on the street didn't want to play!
