All three are slow in stock form...0-60mph in 5.5 seconds is garbage, sorry... 4's are impressive... You got big stock Suv's and trucks in stock form that can pull on those 3..... Jeep SRT, etc...

Saying that makes me a villiage idiot? Hmmmmm?

Ok, those three cars are super fast in stock form, is that better? Some people or "kids" not sure are so overly sensitive to certain car remarks even if they are true facts..... What does one say to that?

And considering the fact that there is no import in that class that can keep up... ok maybe a stretch of putting the gtr in that same class, but that car has **** for a transmission. otherwise nothing can compare stock for stock.

I believe Luke is right and the camaro can go faster, but.... like SRJ said even your lexus wasn't near that quick stock, and you are putting the engine from one of these "slow cars" in your lexus...

Not trying to be an *** here just stating that they are decent for what they are, if you want fast buy a vette, hell the 335i can't even touch the camaro in stock form.

id say shut the **** up. the ss did a 5.0, but we all know they are good to mid 4's on a drag radial. and im pretty sure a jeep srt8 doesnt run high 12's and trap 110 plus.

Dude, my SC400 in stock form is the slowest peice of **** on the road...Atleast I am being 100% honest My ride now without nitrous can hang 0-60mph with those three I would think... With Nitrous running I will pull on all of them without a problem....

My good friend just bought the new Dodge Challenger with the bigger motor and I got him 0-60mph....His G37 I beat too.. I'm not saying those three cars are crap, I am just saying they need mods to impress me..

I'm a big fan of GM so relax..

See now if you had said that from the very beginning, you wouldn't have sounded so bad.

Well, even if I would have said that, I am a Lexus owner on a LS1tech forum, I expect to get bashed when I say anything remotely bad against a Camaro or Vette..

It's all good though and I don't take it personally.. I completely understand...

I can understand comments made about the Camaro, it's getting real cheap, lots of redneck and white trash owners give it a bad rap. But what can you say against the Vette

Well, I love everything about the Z06 Vette, except for the in cabin space and cockpit bathtub fit when driving the beast.. My ***** got squeezed when driving it for more then 15 minutes....Fast as **** though...

The Z06 was my dream ride for the longest time until I drove one...Just being honest, and I am sure I will get ripped a new *** for that comment

I don't know you tell me??? They are all getting fast in that catagory..Z06, ZR1 (that is when the charger is not overheating and robbing the motor of horsepower), and the new R/T Viper rips as well... Basic bolt on mods they all rip big time on the streets....

What catagory to you put the Ford GT500 in?
