I'm faily certain that MotorTrend tested all 4 versions of the camaro on a cool, brisk morning and could not get better than a 6.1 average with the V6 auto. How is it that we are getting times nearly a second quicker?
Well... I can tell you if you go out and drive your car around... get it up to temp and then park it for 15 to 20 mintues your car will be slower... and once you heat soak the MAF/IAT sensor it take quite a bit of driving to get the IAT temp back down... so I'm wondering how the mags did their tests...
