I like how you think

Yeah i'm thinking the times are underrated and the Weights overrated (for the V8)... According to the article in MT the Camaro RS that was unveiled was 3700lbs or 3750lbs, and according to GM reps the SS is 200 lbs more than that so the manual SS is going to be ~3900-3950, and the Auto should be between 3925 and 3975. I think the 300HP 6 will run consistent 13.5's and the SS high 12's all day long...

That, and we are closer to sea level where our fbodies tend to run just a wee bit quicker than w/ those higher elevation northern tracks.

I remember reading where some magazine finally got an 02 Z28 into the high 12's stock. They were thrilled because it wasn't supposed to do that.

Then, I run a 12.74 w/ street tires, a CAI, lid, and loudmouth exhaust.

I believe it's very possible we'll be seeing #'s in teh 12's.....yep...easy 12's.
