I think the SS will do the quarter in 13 flat.

Probably with Evan Smith behind the wheel. You KNOW that's about as good a time as you can get with a car when he drives it

Its just like taking GM High Performance times for GM cars. Evan Smith ran something like 12.8s in a bone stock 98 Z28. But I wouldn't use that time as a standard.

Bullits are mid 13 sec cars if you look at the average times from numerous magazine tests. I've never been impressed with them. They usually run very similar times as stock Mustang GT's.

The new Camaro SS should run 13.0s - 13.3s @ 108 mph (on average) from numerous Magazine sources (Road and Track, Car and Driver, Motortrend).

And high 12s from sources such as GM high tech and Chevy High Performance. Heck, with Evan Smith behind the wheel at ATCO on a 30 degree day, the new SS could run mid 12s.

I don't think it's a problem using times he's driven as long as all times quoted are for cars that he's driven. They prep' the track, powershift, and do everything possible to run the best time. He isn't the only good hot-shoe as far as running in a straight line either, but I would beg on his behalf not to discount his times. There are very few I think that could drive as good as him and a couple views into some sigs' you see here will show you there are others who drive very well.

The infamous Evan Smith previously tested a stock GT500 coupe for the August 2006 MM&FF and ran 12.257 at 117.18 mph despite a 2.11 second 60-foot time. He backed it up with a 12.37 at 116.52 mph. Better drag tires for a faster 60-foot time would put a GT500 into the 11s with Evan Smith at the wheel.

Mr. Even Smith is the BOMBDIGITY!!!
