5TH Gen COPO Camaro

I was at the test and tune session in Bradenton FL this week and seen the new camaro run . Car look very stiff , from what I saw the best run was tue morning with the 427 motor .

The supercharger motor did not seem to run the first 1/8 mile at all . The guys from GM took every time slip and showed them to no one . I think the car weight was around 3200 lbs with the driver in it . The car is reported to weight 3000 lbs and had no weight in it anywhere except the driver

With the reported times the car looks good on the surface , but if you compare my stock 2008 CJ at NHRA legal weight of 3665 lbs and I ran a 9.53 with 1.31 60ft right after what I thought was the camaro best run .

If I took out 450lbs I would have ran 9.10 . My mph was a best of 137mph and most of the day was 135.75 mph which was off 3 - 4 mph

The pro stock's mph seemed to be off a couple mph which I think was do to the track prep. If the 140 mph is true thats pretty good

One thing that I was curious about was the supercharged motor . For stock the block is suposed to be aluminun but the block in the car was steel (LSX) also the blower looked like the 4L unit

GM , show us the time slips , my times were posted on the board if your telling us what it ran show the slips ?

Air at the track was very steady over the 2 days of testing

Temp 75 - 80
RH 45 - 55 %
BAR 30.05 - 30.10
DA 2400 - 2900 ft
CF 102.8 - 1.037

Fastest pass for me Tue morning First run

2008 CJ
stock motor
F.A.S.T. system with MSD coils
Santuff shock's fron & rear
B&B spindles and rear end upgrade
stock rear gears & C4
