6.50s in the 1/8th

[scott5]

Anyone here in the 6.5s in the 1/8th and still a street car. I am looking to go to one vehicle instead of owning two like i have now so i pinned it down to either a 5th gen ss auto or a coyote 5.0 auto. So if anyone is running these times. What your power level and what kind of mods are we talking? Cam, stall, spray?

I'm high 6.2's in a 4217 lb street car. Should be 6.0, well hopefully, once the suspension is dialed in to handle the extra 60 rwhp.

Blower, nitrous, 2600 stall, etc

Will a nice cam/fast/spray setup get me there?

From what I've seen yes, its all on the setup/formula theirs a few running mid to low 6s in the 1/8 who aren't members on here. Its up to the person how far they wanna pushem.

If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it. Some of the members on the forum make running quick look easy, but it isn't. I'm assuming the OP wants to DD his car based on his original post. It can be done, but you are going to have to do some serious upgrading to keep it reliable.

It's not easy. If it was he would've done it already. If its so easy there's would be many more cars going that fast. It can def be done but its not easy.

If its so easy why haven't you done it?

Thats the plan, Only had this car 6weeks. I've only played the truck game and I'm talking BIG HP trucks. Still trying to blue print the setup I want and trying to run 3 business and trying to make time for this hobby is hard lol

By Big HP trucks, I'm assuming you are talking Diesels, which come with a HD drivetrain from the factory. Camaros (and other muscle cars) are not built with HD drivetrains. Count on upgrading pretty much everything drivetrain related if you want to be able to make more than a couple of passes on sticky tires without things going boom.

Gas powered Turbo trucks. I'm talking 4 link suspension built trannys etc.... this was my last truck build 817rwhp thanks to SamGTA881 for the tune. So pushing and braking things isn't new to me. Saddly I can't give up this hobby

Nice rig. Personally, as a gearhead, I've done the math, and by the time I purchase an SS, and put 20 grand into it to get to the level I want, I am far better off just sticking with an 6 cylinder LS, which I don't have the craving to mod, and dumping the 30 grand left over into a dedicated drag build, or, if I wanna go REALLY fast, a built 'Busa drag bike, that I can build for $15K all in, and if it breaks, I can still get to work in my Camaro.

I give much respect to everyone running quick and fast in 5th gens, but personally, if i'm building a Drag vehicle, I'm not going to start with one that weighs nearly 4000 lbs.

Oh I feel you, my girlfriend hated what i spent on my builds vs a wedding but this 13 ss is not my daily but an oversized toy. Which won't hurt me if i break parts. Once I make the time to play I'll see how far I can push it. Not in it to break records just to enjoy the car racing.
