thats how it seems so far. these cars dont feel brutal like the 4th gens. but even in stock form this car runs better on the highway than modded cam only ls1 cars. it has suprised me with the kills ive made in this car. looks like my red car will have to come apart for some mods as the 346 ci ls motor seems like a turd now.

Looks like it is coming along nicely. Car numbers almost appear similar to Supra, lots of potential power at tap with the right mods but the drivetrain needs changing for drag setups.

Are you saying that bone stock 2010 cars will outrun a cam only ls1? or are you saying it just rides better? If you're saying a stocker will outrun a cam only ls1, that would have to be the worlds slowest cam only ls1 based on numbers I've seen from the new cars.

AJ, the 5th gen is kind of a turd in 1st gear. That is why the dragstrip times kind of suck. Also, they only use 3 gears in the quarter-mile. From a roll though, they move very well. My stock '06 GTO had no problem pulling away from bolt-on 4th gens, and the Camaro has more power and weighs about the same. I'd expect a stock 5th gen to run very well against a cam-only 4th gen from a roll.

I can vouch for Joe's perspective for his 5th Gen but in my opinion the red one is far, far more brutal from a punch.

it would be pretty close if not a clear win for the 2010 from a highway run with a good driver. as for the worn out tired 4th gen ls1 cars that is not a issue at all. so far in mine ive raped a 2006 bolt on ls2 gto, a full bolt on m6 2002 trans am, a 75 shot mach 1 & a 2004 saleen s281 mustang with a few mods.

Nice numbers. Will you be throwing a cam into the mix when you install the blower?

Looking good Tony. Hope to see it scream with a F/I set up! Good luck on the project. Saw the Z06 and SS at LMR. Top notch!

You will like the gains once you go blown, a guy here locally had a Inferno orange SS with the american racing headers and a Maggie and is putting down 565hp to the wheels, I believe he took it to Hennessy.

Dru buy a house and move out of your parents already you Queef.

Gotcha, I guess I don't know enough about them to make assumptions.
