Painfull 1/4 times for a camaro owner
hello everyone, today I just saw a couple of youtube videos... and really saw some 1/4 mile times that I feel like a kick in the rear end... so I just had the idea to make this post...
the question for today is... have you ever saw a painfull camaro 1/4 time that you didn't think I could happened? (In real live or Internet Lol) I left this video were you can see a Zl1 running @13's... in russia '' in russia you need 1100 hp to run low 13 my friend... XD'' ohh BTW we all had at least one 1/4 mile that we want to forgot so self-related stories are also welcome

http://y2u.be/wrS9lWmXFcs <-- I'm the SS running the ZL1
http://y2u.be/M63ZjHp2DFM <--- Same thing I want to make it clear that I'm not making fun of the ZL1. He had never been to the track before so he had a hard time launching it. We've all been there. Additionally, I once raced at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Utah. The altitude KILLS N/A cars up there and I was running some awesome 14s all night *UGH*

first time on the track 12.65 @ 114....just small bolt ons.. LS3, I was actually happy with that time.... I thought for sure it would of been higher 12's. However, I have seen a ZL1 auto run 13.2...thought that was crappy for a 60 plus car.... IMO

ZL1 driver can't launch car properly. Those 60' times are horrible.
As a general rule, a .1 drop in 60' time means a .2 quicker ET.

In all fairness and in regards to his location he was probably drunk

Iv seen and personally ran some gawdy pass' for the 5th gen camaros. Iv ran as slow as 13.9 when I first started. Long ways away from where I started now though
The biggest culprit of running horrible times compared to what it should in my experience has been the 392 Challenger. Have yet to see one run a time anywhere near what it is capable of. |

It's a standing mile. His car is probably geared for the mile...

I remember at our local quarter mile track a Camaro SS lined up against a corvette C6. Needless to say both of them ended up running high 14s. I would say painful for both of them

I remember going to the track for the first time in this car and not knowing what was going to work and what was for the tires I was running. One time I tried to leave hard off the converter even though I heated up my DR's pretty good. My 60' for that run was a 2.9 so you can imagine how slow I ran on that pass. If someone taped it and posted it on the internet and said "this is what all 5th gens run" he would have been wrong as I was just testing out the track and tires. I also remember running a best of 12.6 that night and thinking WTF? After I got home I looked up the DA and it was over 4000. So again you would have to know the whole situation like DA, experience, tires ect.
