SS vs CTS-V - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I don't really know why I'm posting this because I honestly know the answer but I just wanted to get some rivalry going.

A friend of mine has a 2012 CTS-V Coupe that has been pullied and has a tune. DA is about 1500-2000+ where I'm at most of the time.

Anyway he wants to race me for fun and I'm definitely down for it, I can't say no to a run or two down the drag strip and this gives me a reason to go out.

My mods are listed below in my sig. I still think I got a little bit left in my car from the best time I've turned.

I'm fairly certain that stock CTS-V's are running low 12's so I imagine that with a pulley and tune its definitely going to be well on its way into the 11's. Is that a good bet?

The SS loses, in a 1/4 mile anyway idk about the track. The SS probably handles better.

Nope, the CTSV has the same suspension as a ZL1.

What's your 60' OP?

Oh and he'll win by the way..

If you come out on 17/18s with slicks you'll get him. Stock rims/tires, youre getting an L.

Cammed LS3 could definitely beat a tuned CTS V.

My buddy's CTS-V with a pulley and tune has hit 11.20s in the 1/4

I had similar mods to you... minus the cam at the time I ran my buddy's V at the strip. He had a CAI, tune, and muffler delete. As for tires, mine were the stockers and he had Nitto Invos. My best run was a 12.52@114 and his best of the dat was 11.77@119. His car was definetly faster, but what what was really hurting me was the 60 ft times. He is now changed the pulley and did a full exhaust and it has gone 11.60's@127.

Here was his best run. His car is an auto by the way.

That's one hell of a cam.....

SNSSTR · 09-04-2013, 08:10 PM

Yeah slicks or some good radials are on my list but I my next three mods are clutch, wheels/tires, and nitrous. So sooner or later I'll be able to take him but it's gonna take a while. Guess it really depends on if he can launch.

And my 60' is sitting about 1.9x or so

If the cts-v driver has drag radials and some track time under his belt he will win. If not then I would not be surprised to so the SS win.

My car will spank a stock cts-v. My boss has one.
