Again, I'm impressed with how little the difference is. Yes, clearly the higher TQ and HP car is going to win, but I expected a much bigger difference.

I can't find the video of this one but check out my time sheet vs this SS. My time is better but he had a better reaction time or I would have beat him......and he is a really good drag racer. He won our club drag race event last year.

Here are 2 more time sheets of me vs 2 other SS's. I won the one by breakout & lost the other. I LOVE racing V8's. Last year I beat a supercharged SS. Okay he got loose but I WON!!!!!!

It's not a big difference at all but to hear some people talk you'd think the six is 20 seconds behind the 8. In reality it's less than 2 seconds in my experience.

The BIG difference is the MONEY

LOL I know I Paid a lot less for my V6 then I would have for a V8. And then the price of fuel savings<<

I'm glad I just got the v6

A guy at work bought a V6...I might have to challenge him to a race now. He mistreats his Camaro though. He bought it two weeks after I did. He doesn't have a single mod, never washes it, and already has BIG scratches on his right fender (looks like he brushed up against a wall)

I swear, some people don't deserve a Camaro.

I would sure hope they are not 20 seconds behind when they are running 14 second times!! ha ha

Wow! I'm even more impressed with V6 now.

2 seconds over a quarter of a mile is a big gap
