SS VS C7

Hey guys just wondering what kind of HP and TQ do you think it would take to beat a base model stock C7? I know they are about 600lbs-700lbs lighter than our cars so I feel like you are gonna have to be pushing some serious power to beat one.

Thanks!

I believe they run low 12's, in the high teens trap. I would say drop a cam in your car and you would hang just fine.

The stock C7's running at Camarofest were in the 12.5 range. I was running 12.2 with a s/c.

Whatever mods itll take you to run consistent low 12's and be an avg driver. For most thatd be all bolt ons. For others you need to throw in a cam. Around 450+ SHOULD do it

If you want to run the mph they do add power. If you just wanna et with them add a stall and tires. Dr's,stall and 100+HP hit of spray will handle your needs.

Stock C7 in good air with a decent driver should be 11.5-11.7 @ 120. That's what the guy at Atco was running last November.

We had a track rental 11/4/13 and there were about 50 other people who witnessed it. There is probably a video because several guys were recording. So, yes I'm sure.

Yeah the c7 is a solid 11 sec car. Most of the drivers only run 12's.

an atco run in negative DA at a private track rental is not real world. like a low 12 out of a stock 5.0. you'll never actually see it happen.

real world on any given day with an average driver a c7 will run mid 12's, lower with a better driver.

There are videos floating around of stock C7 (automatics) running into the 11s.

Not sure about "solid" but yes the automatic is capable of 11s. Not sure if I've heard of the manual hitting 11s yet, so that's why I don't want to use the word "solid", but I guess under the perfect conditions and perfect driving it should be capable of 11s too right?? One would think so.

But next year, the C7 is getting the 8 speed auto, which should only serve to make the car a tad bit quicker.

As others are saying, gonna need to get your SS into consistent mid to low 12s to have a chance.
