There's something wrong with my car.......... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

PQ · 08-26-2009, 08:08 PM

I'm supposed to be losing a lot of time for the southern heat and humidity and these 21" 'boat anchors' of wheels on my car. But for some reason I'm running sub 5 second 0-60s and advertised quarter mile times.

According to the 'experts' I sould be losing more than that.

What should I do?

gld to hear your car is sick

I have 200 lbs of sand bags for the winter up here that I can sell you. That may help.

cab2g · 08-26-2009, 08:18 PM

if your car is going so slow, you should add some NOS to the gas....

that should fix it....

Revo1 · 08-26-2009, 08:18 PM

Take the tires off. Less traction = slower times. No need to thank me, just glad I could help.

CWI · 08-26-2009, 08:49 PM

I don't have any times but mine looses traction in 1st and 2nd and chirps hitting 3rd and 4th. Is something wrong with it too?

Yup, I think you have a problem too. This will be normal in the winter. Just hope we don't get faster.

Jamie Mac · 08-26-2009, 08:51 PM

I have a 250-lb. drum set that'll fit (w/out passengers) and should help slow you down a bit, if you'd like to borrow it. haha
