It must of been a V6. We all know that stock 5.0's run mid 12's all day

Look around you; do you really expect anything different?

5.0 was a bigger let down than the 5th gen,

ohio he could have spun or had a bad run, not everyone is a pro driver, i dont know the car or anything about it so i cant say much ,but he could of had stock suspension, you know how we camaro guys do it we put all the money on the hp and when **** breaks then we upgrade lol,

The TT 5th gen was on low boost and ran a best of 10.18 @ 143 with 1.73 60ft. First trip to the track since built from what I understand and the car is a full weight car. Should be an easy mid 9 car when the bugs are sorted out.

Hell if the 5th gen wasn't the size of a river barge, it would run 9s without 1000hp

Are you indicating that the car hooked up and went 10.6 @ 141? lol I mean I can state the obvious to, stop trying to pawn off the idea that we favoritizing it because it's a camaro (water is wet). Now the mighty 5.0 with MODS and much less power than the camaro to have to try to put to the ground that ran 13's lmao...... lmao

Most of the A6 cars I see run out here are in the 12.8-13.0 range. 250-650ft DA average this time of year FWIW.

Different tracks different parts of the country. Best times I have seen came from MIR/Cecil.
