You're running a heavier car, probably better traction with an auto...your 60 was fair, apples and oranges....stick cars with street tires are harder to launch efficiently. Dyno to dyno comparisons are not worth squat, their value is in using the same one to compare mods to a single vehicle at...

And just to let guys know that may be using these drag calculators to determine what a car should do. Most of them are only accurate on a car geared to redline at the finish line, with the engine staying in a fairly narrow rpm range for the run. Also, running drag slicks with no spinning or...

Are you not going to admit that the Mustang is geared more advantageously for the 1/4 than the Camaro? Speed shift away, if you going to shift a car for a 1 to 2 second pull at the highest drag point of the run you are at a disadvantage to one that doesn't have too. I didn't calibrate the dyno...

I don't need to be objective, I use facts, gathered from real world events. Some of you Camaro apologists are thinking you're going to hit 11's in a 2016 SS. Who is the non-objective one? Going to drop a second, on smaller tires? Hey, I'll eat crow if I'm wrong, but I've been at this a long time...

What mph are you running on a 13.0? Still in 3rd at the stripe? We don't get good air in the summer here, and its usually very humid.

By the way, looking at those gearing charts ought to demonstrate why the coyotes are so quick. They are using their rpm's, they are near the top of 4th going through the lights and not dropping out of the power band on the shifts.

It was a dynojet, that's what his sheet said. And it was a muggy summer night at Gulfport dragway. I know you guys worship these GM's, but I haven't found them to be all that. My Boss spanks them regularly, hard, with the same mods he has. And that link to all the "stock" C7's running 11.30's...

You need to go to a track and watch real life, I've raced a few, and I know what I'm talking about. I race my buddy frequently with a 2011 SS with long tubes intake and a dyno tune, making 435 to the wheels, running 12.7@ 112, he shifts to 4th about 100 feet before the line. A bone stocker will...

Looks like they are the loser of the depreciation contest, Boss's holding steady still.

I'd like to see them try it with a 5.0 liter like in the old days, they would get their ass handed to them.

Real world track experience finds SS's running throught the lights in 3rd gear. What don't you understand. If you don't believe it, get off the google search knowledge substitute and go to a dragstrip and watch.:frusty:

Why limit it to body parts? The GM's you mentioned had completely different drive trains for 11 years, but Ford and Merc was interchangeable. Cougar had an Eliminator that was a elegant Boss 302, same drivetrain. Not many people switch body parts from one to another, but drivetrains are much...

Hero funs are nice, but I think some of them are rigged. Its hard enough to trust the magazines too, but a base SS outrunning the Z28 and the ZL1? Cause if you guys are predicting 11's, that's what your implying. A sprayed track in mineshaft air with a 20 mph tailwind on a oddly quick track, is...

Some of yu guys are so ready to disparage the Mustang and yet you are equally as quick to believe the ss Camaro will be faster than the current uber one, I'm smelling some bias here.

Yeah, faster than a 15 z/28 and ZL1.....dream on, you guys need to put down the crack pipe.

Just touched bases with a buddy who runs coyote stock. He runs a 17# flywheel(billet steel) and is competitive in the mid 10's, he hasn't tried a stock weight (24#) wheel yet, cause everyone copies each other, but I'll talk him into trying one. He leaves the line at 6500.

Bullshit.

Not to mention, not only were the bodies different, but the motors were different also(GM). At least the Capri (after 78) and the Cougar shared the same engine as the Mustang, so they were more of a "mustang" than the trans am was a Camaro.

I guess shipping departments all over the world can now save some money by throwing away their scales since you say it doesn't matter.

If will favor whichever delivers a better 60 ft, which on my car, is a stock weight wheel(heavy). Run what you wish.
