If you are talking loaded... 6g ss is a mid-high 40s, while the 350 will go low 60s or R model for 75+...

I would buy a 13/14 GT500 long before a 350 for the streets. Not sure why anyone would do otherwise other than for investment/collector purposes or turning. Same thing with the 15' Z28 until GM dropped their pants on them. Those cars are a deal right now.

Pretty much as expected. There is another vid of a gt350 and 6gen from a roll on youtube. Pretty much a dead heat in that on.
Overall I'm not very impressed with the gt350 performance wise. It's cool...great looking....makes all the right noises. But it's gonna get it's *** handed to it by 6gen 1le. Actual performance of the car is a bit of a let down after all the hype.

It was made for a complete driving experience and it executes it tremendously well.

GT350 is a collector's car built for a road course. I passed a couple C6's, C7, couple Boss 302's, and many others. Honestly it did great on the track... until it decided to coat the underside of the car with oil. Pretty sure the oil filter seal failed (seems like common issue with the GT350's freaky oil filter) except the car didn't catch into a flaming ball of fire like this guy: http://www.autoblog.com/2016/08/02/f...lames-120-mph/
As far as I can tell that's exactly what happened to me last week (minus the fireball).. oil dumped all over the pan, wheels, tires, suspension, exhaust, etc. Pulled into the pits with a white smoke trail behind me... guess I got lucky.
Has made me a hell of a lot less interested in tracking it so I'll be taking my s2000 instead from now on. I can't see me holding on to the GT350 for much longer, kinda useless if I can't track it.

Here's a m6 vs a8 camaro on the roll. The m6 car does have a ported tb and cai. I woukd think both of those do very little for the car tho.

Oh I'm sure i would love it....vastly updated car. Although the actual stats aren't much better than a 5gen 1le for the gt350 handling wise. I could definitely see it feeling more refined.

Im sure the m6 will be a beast too. For me the Ported TB was a waste of money. It just made the pedal feedback feel a little better, which was later completely corrected by the tune. The CAI on fue other hand, seemed to make a good difference on my car. Absolutely felt the increase in power.
