In the video he said he didn't want to push it too hard because it was new, and that there will be more videos coming with faster times.

No way on the "atleast" 112-114. 03 Cobra's basically put out the same power and weighed in at about 200 lbs less and trapped 111-113 with the very absolute highest coming in at 114. The slower one's trapped "atleast" 109-111. It's safe to say the '10 SS (6spd) will trap 109-111 with the absolute highest at around 112, but they will be trapping "atleast" 107-109 (which is what we've seen). A 114 mph trap would be a stretch, the planets would have to align just right. That, and hurricane winds.

If you're saying "atleast" 112-114, then that's implying the norm will be 114-116 and the highend will be above that.

It appeared the Camaro was trailing but just made up enough ground, after a bad jump, to eek out the win. I like.

Listening to the announcer in that video, it sounds like he said the Challenger "got there first" unfortunately. From what I could see, neither one got a good launch and the Camaro launch was the worst of the two. When the cars are closely matched, more often than not it is all about launch IMHO.

I'm not sure if you know how racing at the track works. But reaction time leaving the line matters. The Camaro ran a faster time but actually crossed the finish line behind the Chally. Which if you look at the timing lights you'll see the bulbs on the sides lit up in the Challys lane, that means the Challenger won. So due the better reaction time off the line the Challenger wins the race with a slower 1/4 mile time.
