What are mid 14 second cars? The new Camaro V6?

The HR 350z's do 0-60 in 5.1-5.2 and the quarter mile in 13.6-13.7 based on official reviews, real world has seen a number of 13.1x passes by different drivers stock. The V6 Camaro is not touching it, sorry. I have posted in the past videos of stock HR 350z's running low 13's completely stock (including a 13.1 run), here is an HR 350z with mild bolt-on's and DR's running a 12.5:



Assuming equal drivers, the V6 camaro still has a chance against the oldest 2003-2004 (280 HP) model DE (especially autos and/or roadsters), and even the 2006 model which, despite a bump in HP over previous years, is recorded as one of the slowest based on real-world drag times. The older model Z's should be faster, but there are some pretty fail 350z drivers out there.

For reference, I own an HR 350z and have spent plenty of time driving 2010-2011 V6 Camaros to know the new V6 Camaro is not anywhere near the same league as a newer (07-08) 350z. This isn't to say I don't like the Camaro- I just wouldn't have been happy with the V6.
