There is evidence to back it up as well. On that 14.3 run my 2nd to 3rd shift wasss SLOWWW and my 1st to 2nd was just average.
Fact is the Z has been out WAYYYY LONGER and besides myself and a few others no one is running many V6 manuals at the track, or they arent posting up there times.

Well congratulations on your 14.3
, but it still does nothing but confirm what I've already stated regarding the performance of the V6 Camaro. The reviews have it listed at 14.2-14.5 quarter mile, and you've landed right in the middle, which makes sense. Enjoy your car for what it is, just don't expect it to beat everything on the road.
For reference: the Z may have been out longer, but official reviews for the oldest/slowest model were still getting 13.9's at time of release (13.6 for the newer model). Actual drivers were beating that time within
months of the car's release, that's pretty good considering the Z is not an easy car to launch in manual version. Don't get so caught up in quarter mile times, you can enjoy a car for a lot more reasons than how fast or slow it does a quarter mile.
