New Camaro ET's

[treessavoy]

Took the PT Cruiser to test and tune at Gainesville and ran a new Camaro SS twice. Automatic car that ran 13.74 and 14.05 then he parked it.

The interesting thing is that there was a guy there with a Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 (6 cyl) and he ran 13.4's and .5's all night. That's right chevy guys, a Chrysler 6 cylinder out ran the new Camaro!

Just trying to stir things up, please no threats, mail bombs or IED's; if you decide to invade me, remember that Max the Wonder Dog will slobber all over you!

The main difference is that Chevy will sell a bazillion Camaros. Chrysler couldn't give the Crossfires away. SRT 6 is supercharged too.

Bringing a '010 SS automatic coupe up to New England Dragway on Sat. to test (weather permitting). 1st track outing w/car.....so far he's done 3600 stall, headers, and e.f.i. live tuning. The only tire he could get ahold of for the rear brake clearance was a 20" Nitto drag radial....we'll see what this car does w/very low mileage, and stock except for what's mentioned....A little skeptical of the IRS and stock rear axles on this car, but have to start somewhere...

that is pathetic! i hope that the driver of the camaro really sucked, i took my 4300# 09 challenger 5.7 6speed and went 13.62 @ 104.00 bone stock!!!! i was told the camaro's only weigh 3600 with driver.it should be a lot quicker.

my 09 challenger 5.7 auto went 13.59 with my wife at the wheel

'010 Camaro coupe = 3860 LESS driver. WJ

So, what you're saying is that because the Crossfire will be out sold by a bankrupt company, it shouldn't be faster than a new Camaro...great logic!

Yes, the 3.2 SIX cyl is supercharged and put out 330hp and weighs 3220lbs, the Camaro is a fuel injected, multiple valve 425hp V8 and weighs about 400lbs more SO, you feel the 6cyl should be faster....not much faith in the camaro!

Multiple-valve???

You were expecting, maybe, ONE???

LOL!

I have no clue what this ("multiple valve") means....

My apologies, my uni-valve brain misfired...but, actually two is more multi than one! LOL!

Think how simple your valve train would be if you only had one valve....who cares about exhaust...?
