Official 1/4 Mile (V6) 2010+ Camaro Fast List

[Blade]

Ok.......so this weekend I am going to try:

1) 93 Octane
2) Re-assess the tire pressure in the front and rear per suggestions
3) Reduce as much weight in the car as possible.

Hey Blade. If you want to pull more weight.........

I checked with one of my engineer buddies to get the numbers for the seat removal weights.

Front seat from a 2LT trim with leather and electric can save ......aprox. 48 lbs.

Rear seat bottom is another 12 lbs.

Rear seat back is another 18 lbs

For a total seat removal of 78 lbs

To be honest, I think the wheel size and weight is more of a factor on our cars than the v8s. I seem to notice the 18 and 19" wheel-guys getting better ETs and way better 60' times, which leads me to believe the less-torquy v6's are having a hard time spinning the 20" drums.

Compound the issue with the crappy Pirelli tires, which break loose too easily - I feel the wheel/tire combo is creating too thin of an RPM area for optimum launch. Too low and the car bogs; too high and the wheels spin (yes, I know this is true for ANY launch, but I'm saying the sweet is not a wide enough range - or even there with the 20"/Pirelli combo)

And if you compare our v6 camaros to other v6s, you don't see any 350z's trying to tear up the 1/4 mi on 20's...

I'm trying to find a pair of super sticky DR or Summer tires to go on my stock 18" LS wheels - I would prefer to buy a pair of lightweight 18" wheels, but I'm also limited by my budget. I still feel the 18"s will be lighter than my 20x10" barrels I have out back now.

A sub 2" 60' is key for good times in our car. Along with a trap over 100mph. Due to the limited parts avail and weight of our car, I feel there is more we can do about the 60' than about the trap speed at this time, so this is #1 area to improve on.

just my meager $0.02

Absolutely. RS rims on the V6 are for looks and looks only. They are way wider and heavier than what is more ideal for this car. Lightweight 18s alone on a stock car would probably send it into high 13s no doubt, considering people have run 14.1's in bone stock RS cars.

That less rotational mass is extremely helpful.

With all that said my problems are fixed and I'll be hitting up the track in the next 2 weeks or so. Im only running dual cut outs after the second cats so we will see what happens. Im shooting for a 13.9, might be shooting too far but we will see.

what rims are you using.....i want something light but not 400 each lol

I went with 17inch TSW wheels and Hoosier slicks the wheels coast $175.00each and the slicks were $205.00 each
All I can say its worth every penny the car launches like a rocket
