I owned a 13 5.0 with 3.73's (hated the 3.73's) and a 14 SS M6 this last year. I got frustrated with the Camaro only running best times of 13.3 stock and 12.8 with full bolt ons (stock tires). So I traded it on a new 14 5.0. When I was a the track there was a full bolt on 5.0 with (seats and swaybars removed) that ran a best of 11.4 @ 121 mph. So I see no reason a full bolt on 5.0 can't hang with a cammed Camaro.

I think it represents very well what 5.0 are about; those 5.0 owners dont care to remove anything to run better at the track!! Plus that SRA is 1 billion times better than IRS for drag racing (without major susp tuning/mod).

How often do you see Camaro on this forums with drag racing seats, no rear seats, V6 brakes conversion to run big tires with nice small drag wheels, weight reduction and all the necessary upgrades to make the IRS fast on the track? NEVER NEVER NEVER. Mustang owners dont mind to get their hands dirty and modify the hell out of their ride for drag racing. The SS crowd is more about body/wheels/lights upgrade and 'handling'(maybe).

So yess a full weight SS with a ok running cam, full gas tank aint gonna put buses on a tuned 5.0, but that doesnt make sense to me for some reason. I'd expect my SS to destroy any tuned 5.0, but I am not cammed...still.
