Go to the drags. You will soon find out who you can beat and who you can't.

There are no drag strips in Kuwait.

Problem is it's too tough to determine a car of similar specs it can BEAT 10/10. The answer is none of them and all of them.

Perfect example:

I PERSONALLY saw two 2010+ Camaro SS's run each other on the 1/4mile. They BOTH ran a 13.9 for whatever reason. Which is slower than my V6 Mustang ran that same day on the same track...

Should I dedicate a thread to the V6 Mustang is faster than an SS Camaro? Absolutely not.

There are WAY TOO many variables to DEFINITIVELY say what car (in its class) the SS is faster than consistantly.

It can both beat and be beaten by Mustang GT's, Challenger SRT8's, and a slew of other 400ish hp cars.

It's like saying "Count to infinity, and stop when you reach the end"

You would be killed by an accident or something along those lines, or the locals would kill you because they are poor losers, or the laws there are so strict that street racing gets the death penalty?

(I have not ran the SS since I put the cam in so I'm sure it is faster now, but stock for stock the SHO was faster)

I'm waving the B.S. flagg here! I raced a dude from my work who has a stock 2010-11? SHO when my 2SS M6 was stock and I smoked him! He might have had me till about 30 mph( I'm thinking 'cause of the AWD) but after that I left him in the dust! He swore I wasn't stock, but I'm sorry I was. Besides look up the stats of these two cars, not even close

papawattz · 05-10-2012, 11:01 AM

Ive' beat a 2005 Mustake GT (manual), 2001 Ram Air Trans Am(auto), 2003 Silverado SS Superchrged(525HP),2010 SHO, 2008 dodge dakota sport 2wd 4.7L.! But Got my Ass handed to me by another 2001 Ram Air T.A. that was heavely modified w/ 150 shot of NOS.

A golf cart but the camaro needs a 3 car spot.

Killed by an accident. Sadly, Kuwait is one of the top countries with deaths per capita caused by car accidents. They ussually agree when people are racing, and I don't want to a part of that. Also, if I did race and I was caught, I can get my drivers license suspended for about 6 months, so it's not worth it. The locals won't kill me, because Kuwait is not a poor country.

E.T. · 05-10-2012, 02:52 PM

That must suck. Most people around here can't drive or are too occupied by their cell phones while driving. I can only imagine how it is in Kuwait.

Same thing here

B@tman · 05-10-2012, 06:57 PM

What about racing at an airstrip after it's closed?

My camaro SS is faster than an automatic SS, that's all I got...oh and it smokes v6 camaros....no idea why v6'ers want a piece....

Yea I read some of these post and you all were basically complete ass holes about it. It was a simple question with simple answers. This is supposed to be a nice Camaro family/brotherhood here. C mon guys. The only real competition around our level is a 5.0

+1 - I'd have to call

on that too. No way that a 365 HP motor and 4300 lbs. vehicle beat a 426 HP motor and 3900 lbs. vehicle....unless somethings broken on it.

Oops. Forgot to mention these are both MY cars, not one mine and one my buddies. Both currently in my drive way, I'm familiar with the stats. I'm sorry that I replaced "A SS is faster" with "My SS is faster" and included only the results of the cars currently in my possession.
