    I'm not impressed

    Went to street legal drags Saturday. Saw like 5 new SS camaros running. Only 1 made it into the 13's and that was only a 13.5. All of them except that one ran 105mph and low 14's. 2 new vettes both running 12.5 and 12.6 @ 115 just like thier suppose too butt the maro's were slow as hell. I'm sure as hell not lining up at the dealer for a new SS.

    Possibly. But I have read in GMHTP the torque management settings are set to minimize wheelhop, which reduces the torque going to the rear wheels, which inadvertantly slows the car down.

    sounds like track conditions or drivers. Have personally watched a couple different 5th gens run 13.0's

    I am also starting to wonder if the drivers turned the T/C off? That will fk up ETs.

    I have seen a handful of the new ones running at the strip. Stock, they run pretty much just like you have stated.

    They also spin a bit out of the gate.

    The best time to date I saw was a girl driver (she was a lesbian, and yes, I felt that was important to add) that got a 13.5. I don't remember the trap speed though.

    I love it. Need to get that on a T shirt. I saw 2 of the SS in the pits and they had street tires. I didn't look inside so don't know A4 or M6. I was watching at the big end so I didn't see the launch so I don't know if wheel spin was an issue butt the times sure sucked. I'd be using my new GM 30 day return policy.

    ^The new camaros have six speed autos, not a4's. Iroc, if you drew that you forgot to add in the independent rear suspension also fucking it up.

    I´ve seen lots of fourth gens run 14s when new as well. We all know what they are capable of tho.

    I ran mine and got a 14.1 at 99mph. Broke loose in first and part of second. But I was on street tires.

    I sure as hell hope so. I can't picture an LSx running 16s. That's prob Siggy's e-sarcasm going.

    No, the Camaro. The Honduh can break into the 15s.
