that had to have been an auto...a 6 speed ss with those mods should be in the mid 12 range in the 1/4....ive only seen 4 2010 SS's run the 1/4 and 2 of them where fully forged with N02 and in the low 11's the other two were stock and where in the mid 13's but there TS was in the 106 range

The V6 2010 Camaro is no match from a 4th generation Z28 (LS1). It would make a decent match against a 3rd generation Z28 (LT1). Most stock LT1 z28s run in the 14s. The problem is most of the stock LT1's run like crap now.

The V6 2010 Camaro is much faster than all the previous V6 Camaros.

All good info except the 3rd Gen 1982 to 1992 Camaro never came with the LT1. Factory stock LT1 4th Gens from 1993 to 1997 have the capability to easily break 14 sec ET's.

I agree with the others that said to steer clear of the Z28's and 4th gen SS's with a 5th gen V6. You'll get smoked every time in every type of race unless you get a really good power adder. Almost all 4th gens, whether they be LT or LS equipped, are no longer going to be stock. I drive a 17 yr old Mustang and there are still a lot of people that are naive enough to believe it is stock save for some exhaust.

LT1 Z28s and SS's are 4th gens.

3rd gen Camaros had either a TPI or a TBI for a V8 option. and they ran like crap from day one.

and unless you've got a 5th gen that can run 11's for less than $10k, my 4th gen, 94Z with an LT1 has got you beat.

I've seen some stock 4th gens around down here, most of them are v6's tho.

Third gen tpi motors hit 14s pretty easy.

sweaver · 01-07-2010, 09:08 PM

I raced my 98 WS6 T/A Against my '10 Camaro 2ss when I first got it, And my T/A was faster, not by much, But it was faster,
After the camaro took a trip to Livernois, That T/A don't stand a chance!

hmmmm this is very interesting...i will say this though...it is hit or miss with the LS1's now a days i mean 02 was the latest so they are getting old but the ones that have been taken care of are still a terror on the street...im really wanting to get a race with a new SS i may go hunt one down in DFW this weekend and get some vid to post

azvren · 01-07-2010, 11:49 PM

I don't know if people here cant drive but i've beaten plenty of bolted ls1 camaros and trans am's. I murder stock ones. All I have is Roto fab cai muff delete and magnaflow x pipe. Either people here cant drive or my SS is a factory freak.

azvren · 01-07-2010, 11:53 PM

oh and I forgot to mention the 03 terminator I took from a roll. he stayed at my rear fender but still a win none the less. I believe he only had exhaust but those cars are still quick out the factory

If you noticed I own both cars, '10 camaro ss and 98 WS6, So you are saying I know how to drive my T/A, But not my ss?
BTW My ss is running 11 flat now!
