Anyone race a new camaro?
 

I see these things at work all the time, ive been in one and drove one(PDI's pre delivery inspections) the 6 bangers, aka the cadillac motors are alright i dont prefer them. The 6.2 is pretty beefy but i cant tell which one is faster, id love to take my miata and another mechanic takes a camaro on the lot but that would never happen. And anytime i see one on the street its an old fart who wont race(yes its illegal). But anyways anyone ever have a chance to go 1 on 1 with a camaro?

I've raced a few of them, they are slow.

I had a SS (what engine is that?) pull up beside me, and act like he wanted some, but there was alot of traffic, and i figured i would get beat at 7psi.

Edit: Oh and stranges, when i was a tech, we raced crap all the time.

when compared to your car, about 80% of everything on the road is

+1, When I did PDI's all damn day every day at RK Chevrolet in VA Beach, VA...I had lots of fun. We had a ~1/2 mile stretch of perfectly straight road running parallel to I-64 just under a mile away from the dealership that we "owned" where we were supposed to do PDI's, there's a lot of Corvette owners in the VA Beach area that would shoot me if they knew some of the things that were done to their cars during PDI's, :laugh:

considering your miata makes almost the same hp and has a good 1500 lbs less wieght i think you will win pretty handily stranges.

My buddy has one, and thinks it's hot shit.. They aren't that fast.

Screw the Camaro, has anyone raced a new 5.0 Mustang? They claim 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.

Yeah really, I thing the new mustang is > the Camaro and Challenger. I need to win the lotto...

I have been thinking about getting a new 5.0. But by the time i de-boat the suspension, and buy all the bolt on crap i want, i will be 50k into a car that will be worth 10 k in 3-4 years.

the new disgustang is pretty baller, but my car still runs them down at 250whp.

There's a direct ratio between mustang horsepower/mods to mullet size.

You mean 'maro owners. Mustang owners are usually just idiots.

I also think the new 5.0 is cool, however it's sad that Ford has taken 13 years to rival the LS-series of motors.

Thank Transformers for reping the Camaro, and getting Ford to play ball.

no shit? damn, i thought that they would be more capable than that. I've only been able to work a race out of a tc vw and a dodge neon lately. :giggle: The vw followed me and told me how he almost had me. I never got over 4000rpm and my 327 is still pulling at 6500. I had a good laugh.

TC's are epic gayness weak sauce volvo knock off doucher mobiles.

If I hear, "He has a new Camaro!" one more time. I'll slice this girls throat. I can't wait til my cars fixed so I can put the kid to shame.

430HP Good.
2 tons Bad.

Which is why they run high 12s/low 13s mostly, despite pretty darn respectable traps. You have a car that makes about 70 more WHP than a 4th gen, but also sits about 400lbs heavier. On fricken 20 inch rims. Sothey are decently fast but not as much as 430HP ought to be.

I've long wanted a really clean Mustang LX. Ideally a notchback:

Or even a nice hatchback.
