Even with all those mods that 5th gen was no faster. Amazing how much faster the 6th gen in stock for stock

Good runs!

Nice driving from the 5th gen owner, he didn't really fall back on shifts at all.

6th gen is running good. Hopefully more of them will start running around at our spot. I want to run some in my land yacht. I still the think the 6th gen has some more left in it stock if they tightened up the shifts. My Scat Pack shifts noticeably faster.

Good runs OP! 6gens are impressive. Any ideas on cam specs in 5th gen?

Any videos to show how fast it shifts? Mine shifts pretty quick, the fuel cut in 1st and 2nd mislead some people into thinking it's slow.

It's mild, can't remember exactly what the specs were.

Good close race. I wonder how much the difference in weight makes in terms if their performance. The 6G is probably about a good 250 to 300 lbs lighter.

Very impressive 6g. Op your car definitely moves out. The 5g was no joke either tbh, Driver definitely had the driver mod in his favor. 6g light years ahead of the 5g.

We just got an SS with the A8 at work a few days ago. It's amazing how much more responsive it feels than the bone-stock automatic 5th gen SS we have on our lot. I still prefer it with a manual though.

Fifgen owner clearly didn't know wtf he was doin. Tho yes it will take some mods for a 5gen to run with a 6gen.....a cammed bolt on fifgen shoukd really have no issue out running one.

Good runs!

Nice runs...

A8 in the SP makes the A8 in the 6g seem lazy.

That's just it....450whp out of a cammed ls3 tells me something is off. That's easily bolt on ls3 territory.

He openly said it was a mild cam. Doubt it was the full zoot 500rwhp cam only builds

Full zoot

No it's not to get there. E85 not even needed. They've done that on the stock intake. Highest cam only ls3 I've seen did like 560whp.
