I have to agree, everyone is going to feel this getting on the freeway ( except for those fools who like to stop at the end of the onramp )

A lot of people might not even get their car much above that, unless you live here in CA. where the normal speed limit on the highway is 80-90 in the slow lane....

I can't wait to see some real numbers on the SS, I actually found test numbers a while back on Edmunds but I have no idea where they could have gotten them since there aren't any cars for them to test....

0-60 4.9 sec
1/4 mi 13.4 @ 108mph
skid pad .90g
60-0 117 ft

I'll have to see if I can find the link, these numbers are just written down on my folder that I keep with all my Camaro info, but I got them from the Edmunds.com site a while back ....but since this info was printed Chevy has revised the hp rating on the Camaro and done a lot more work to it as well so I don't put much, if any stock in these numbers.
