OK, so what is the absolute lowest recorded stock time, 14.2?
Personally, I don't really care. I know what the V6 camaro is capable of and what it's not. For instance, I know it's not capable of high 13's stock, even if given the most ideal weather, greatest driver, and a downhill track. The Camaro will see mostly mid-14's at at the dragstrip, which is nothing to be upset about. You telling me it hit's low 14's probably happens about as frequently as a 350z HR driver hits low 13's.
My only point is that, given all other factors are equal (i.e. drivers, manual, auto, etc.) the Z should win no matter what the model-year. Not only do they all have the
potential to run low-high 13's, which the V6 Camaro lacks, their trap times are also in the 100's. The only exception to this is obviously the Roadster (convertible).
Is it possible that the V6 Camaro can beat the 350z in a real world race? Hell yes. There are horrible drivers for every car out there. Wasn't there a vid of a V6 Camaro driver who beat a Mustang GT at the track? I've also seen completely stock newer 350z's beat older model Camaro SS's. It can always happen. That said, the V6 Camaro does not hold an advantage against any model year 350z performance-wise.
