We can't take that one as Cheby already has this edition...Camara "SS"
Still a cooler name than "Ecoboost."
I'm with you on this one - until I see mid-4's from multiple sources, I'm calling BS. My car is built just like the HP minus the engine upgrades, and using the track apps I see 6.1's every time I run to 60. I'm not exactly impressed with that performance, but there's no way a handful of HP is going to shave 1.5 seconds to 60. My car has never known anything but 93, so I figure it's as healthy as a fully stock car can be.
With that optional handling pack (9.5" wheels all around + 265s + big rear bar) it'll easily outhandle a GT PP1. Faster than on a road course? Nah. Autocross? Yup.
I've been at this for over 35 years now, and I've yet to see any magazine or manufacturer ever give us accurate numbers. Unless by accurate you mean, with professional driver, on a perfect DA day, suspension tuned perfectly, the best fuel possible, etc etc. Most published numbers end up being unicorns that in the real world almost nobody ever achieves with quite a bit of tinkering and work.
Will be 4's. C&D got 5.1 with the S197 2011 V6 3.55 6M on Pirellis.
That's like comparing an apple to a grape....sure they are both fruit, but that's where the real life comparisons end.
You're right. Pretty much everyone thinks the S197 was better and the Eco is a performance downgrade from the V6.
Yep totally agree. That's why I originally said. I don't see a huge market for this. When it comes to racing. Most people drag race. And it wont keep up. Road course it wont keep up. Dodge cones it'll shine. Maybe I'm underestimating the market for this type of car. But I doubt it.
They may not give accurate numbers, but usually the methodology is consistent and I think that might be more valuable. I know I never ran their numbers stock, but that could also be because I'm not interested in repeatedly launching my car hard to figure out the perfect launch and because I'm not on a prepped area to test it like they probably are.
I think it's bigger than you'd expect. They'll obviously charge a nice premium for that package, similar to the PP Level 2.
