plus the G8 is putting up .88 right? I think they will be able to get more than .2 gs out of it no?

(emphasis mine). I still don't see where Oppenheiser said anything about .97 skidpad... I DO see where he said .90. I'm not saying it won't do much higher than .90 but I don't think this has been stated by GM.

kylepo · 01-28-2009, 10:35 PM

I think that .90 is too low IMO. I also think that .97 is too high I would hope its some where in that range. we shall see very soon. For some reason I keep remembering someone saying .96 but idk.

oh sorry in my opinion.
i like the G8 more she is better at the slalom and more powerful at the quarter mile and you can buy it with a less money and you can moded it with a less money and have more power to.
but i didn't say the dodge is bad to the charger also look great but some time you hardly choose between the two car.
but i like the 300C SRT8 more than the charger.
and i buy the lumina ss because i think like that and you by the charger because you thinks it's better every one have his owne opinion.

of course

but judging from R&T you would think that the SRT8 and the GXP came from the same factory, I think the suspension is about the same they both have body roll !!!

TheClassicCarKid · 01-29-2009, 12:29 AM

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely would not buy the Camaro if it only pulled .90 on the G pad, that's a deal breaker for me. On my way to school I want to feel at least .92 or it's just a boring commute.

gunslinger · 01-29-2009, 12:40 AM

If a 1998 Camaro with new, upgraded tires (See current issue of GM High Tech Performance) can pull over .90G I believe the new SS can probably reach ~.95G...

headpunter · 01-29-2009, 12:46 AM

they have already said they have tuned the camaro to have less roll and that is the zeta ONE platform.....not the camaro's zeta TWO platform....

Muscle Master · 01-29-2009, 12:48 AM

assuming the V6 rides on the zeta 2

the v6 rides on the fe2 suspension......the ss is on all different dampers, is lower to the ground, and has more control links with stronger parts
