What part of the car makes it not suitable for a 1/4 mile? Drag mode sets the shocks for weight transfer(I assume), 3.73 gears, tight trans spread so you are well into 4th gear at the stripe, light wheels, big sticky tires, high rpm power, sounds like a recipe for a great drag car to me. Of...

It has great tires, light wheels, and four gears to use in a 1/4, that's an excellent platform for acceleration. The car should and will eclipse that shitty time.

Bingo.

Yes, and a 12.3 in a Boss is a great time, a 12.1 in an R is not.

On a prepped track with 93 in the tank and good air, I beg to differ. Low 11's, no.

1/4 mile is a legitimate measure of a cars performance, and MT can't drive for shit. Common sense says this car will crack 11's in either iteration, because both have enough tire and mph.

I would have to say piss poor driving, if not, I'm disappointed. .3 is about right for the diffrence between cars due to the wheels, traction and overall weight diffrence.

Probably on 91 octane too.

I think long tubes will make a large difference, more than on a cross plane. I think the stock manifolds on this thing are ugly in form, and lukewarm at best in function.

Yep.

And the wheels on the R are very light, which will knock off another .1-.2.

My guess is they will be a little heavier and a little slower than what the general is proclaiming, and we know they are not geared as well as the mustang, its going to be very close. And we both know there will be an answer in any case, if a spray bore is cheaper than sleeves I'm sure we will...

Ah, you want us to quit before we play the game, sorry, you going to have to actually make it down the track in one in front first, we don't race chevy simulations here.

Yes, I chose not to speculate on the autos since its new, but the modern autos are very impressive, and getting better. A lot of guys can't shift either, and the clutch Ford put in the S197's(GT500 an exception) was dog shit. I hope they got it right in the 6G.

1.8's are superb for those tires and require weight transfer to get there. Some of these guys are claiming 1.6's and that is hard to fathom on a street tire without some suspension work, or a flypaper surface. 127 mph would support 10.7's if you could launch in anger, as I'm sure you know, and...

If I had to bet, on the same day, same track, equal drivers, manual trans, optimum pass, the camaro should be .2 to .3 tenths ahead, and about 2 mph faster, if the numbers are right. I don't trust chevys numbers however, not taking any manufacturers word for it, and I'm skeptical of magazines...

Simulations are for computers, and we don't race computers yet, thank God. I appreciate the mental masturbation, as I am an ME, but its a good thing that it is still conjecture. Rate of torque delivery wins races, but its not the whole story. Drag racing takes a whole lot of things lining up...

yeah, in a chevy computer simulation.

Only place that will happen is in a chevy computer simulation, put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard troll.

Not so on the 1/4 mph on the z/28. 122 yeah right.
