SLK 55 AMG beat me :(
Hmm... so if you read my aftermarket accessories located on my signature tag.. you will notice that i'm not an ordinary Camaro.. even though my engine backfires, i don't think i lost that much performance..
So.... story time
I'm trying to enjoy a nice day with my windows rolled down when low and behold a rich kid pulls up next to me in his SLK 55 AMG Mercedes. I think nothing of it since most people with nice high end cars never actually use them to their potential.
Light turns green.... and he rips from the line... not knowing he wanted to race, I was a lil behind him...
After I caught up, we did a 55mph punch since that is my 2nd gear, and as we all know... the gear with the torque..
But he pulled and pulled and pulled on me...
And thats how a rich kid ruined my day
I let all American Muscle owners down...
End of story

Ok let me get this straight...You ran a 12.1 at 113 mph off a 2.0 60 ft..
If your best 60 ft ever is a 2.0 and your best mph ever is a 113, then theirs no way in hell you cut a 12.1..Thats good for MAYBE a 12.5..
Please explain or post a sig to educate me...Cause my LS1 that trapped 111 mph never did better than 12.8 off 2.0 60 fts

I looked at those numbers too. But I have ran stock C6, and found they run anywhere from a 12.5 to 12.8 - - I've raced them at the raceway and been either tied or beating them by a hair (if I hit my gears) but when this guy had raw power and he just kept pulling; I was amazed. I usually have cars pull because I can't hook up, but around 2nd gear, I will stop the pull and start pulling on them.. We did it from the light (I didn't know) and he ripped so I'm hurrying to rev it up, then when I knew that wasn't a fair race, I had him go at a roll, in my 2nd gear... and he pulled... sadness i checked the stats, and they have a 4.9 0 - 60 -- i believe my 0-60 is about the same if not near there..
im going to seafoam my car, because this backfiring is making me think that it is hurting more HP than I originally thought
i posted the backfire issue under maintenance; but people with open exhausts say they experience the same issue

i know i have a better run than the 12.67, but I can't find the slip..
Im going to run again with the engine backfire to see if I am a second off or if there is really some HP issues. It was embarrasing; I pride myself on beating $60k + vehicles..

Embarrassed? Pride? Let me guess, you "live your life a quarter mile at a time"? It's a street encounter man, it ain't something to go shoot yourself over! Some people take this stuff way too serious - 12 second cars are slow these days so just have fun with it win or lose!

And LOL @ "Im not an oridnary Camaro" with the only real mod being headers.

Yeah, I like to think of myself as a B.A. (Bad ***) but what I meant was that I am not stock.. I also have a tune!! If that gives me any points

nice death, but I would like to know how the hell you are trapping 113 with nothing but headers and an off-road pipe???!!! that must be one kick *** "tune" you have there! haha.
on a side note, i would love to run into one of those AMG mercedes, the problem is that you may get one of the "slower" ones, which are STILL very quick cars, or you may run into one of the twin-turbo ones and probably get your *** handed to you. finding out which it is is all part of the fun!

FU BIT*$....At my track the car trapped 103 mph with the bone stock 299 rwhp..And with 378 rwhp trapped 111 mph. It had 2.73 gears and was an auto..
YES i could have changed out the gears to 3.73's and put in a stall converter and probally been trapping 115's at the same track.
but I would have rather just spent the money on a viper. And i never regretted my decision.
As to the specs..2.0 60 fts and 113 mph will in no wat what so ever add up to 12.1 ET's...
To get a 12.1 off 113 mph trapps you'd need a 1.6 60 ft minimum..
Most cars that can do 12.1 of 2.0 60 fts are trapping around 120 mph
