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

[lscamaro]

I might go to test and tune tonight as well. A few more baselines with all my current mods before I get into some bigger things

[Botoasy]

I need some help car #114, I ran this 14.1 consistent this friday, I cannot get into the 13's. I have a A6 with everything in my sig. I Really dont want to change my wheels to do it.

Very consistant, but frustrating I am sure.

What track were you at? tempature? What size wheels and tires are your using now? We have plenty of people here who will help with advice.

I agree with those mods you should see 13.'s

I was at Atco Raceway, it was about 35 degrees. I am running Hankook Ventnus V12's 255/45/20 on the rear and 245's on the front. PSI was about 32. Now I don't have the sway bars installed yet. But I do a real nice burnout and it doesn't feel like im spinning off the line.

One of the issues I can see is the tire size. Those are approx. 0.4" taller which will change your gear ratio. Changing it from the stock ratio of 3.23 to a new gear of 3.19. Next issue is still the tires, those are summer tires and I am sure they did not like that cold temperature for trying to hook up. The enigne loved the cold air, but not the tires and traction. I would try again when it gets to about 50 degrees, best of both world's for tires and engine. Redcue the rear tire PSI even lower trying as low as 28.

Will try again this weekend, should be in the 50's hopefully weather people arent too assuring. But I was in the market looking for nitto Invo tires without changing the rim what spec should I consider?

And if you are still having problems, try an aftermarket torque converter.

What wheels are you currently running?

I researched for 18 months for my wheel/tire combination to perform for all the duties I will ask from them. Still ended up with drag radials for track days.

Here is what I found from Tirerack.com on those tires.

"However like all summer tires, the Ventus V12 evo is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice."

I have the 20'' SS wheels

There in lies another issue. Those are heavy wheels. weighing 32lbs each compared to the stock 19" wheels of 28.8 lbs, or the ones I am running at 23.3 lbs If you have an opportunity to look for lighter wheels that will help. If not, putting a 275/40/20 on the rear will help get you back to stock tire size and with a little more traction.

See if you can find some vette replica 18' wheels and get you some really good DRs for those. Then you can cut some weight, get your tire diameter back to where it was stock and you only have to use them when you go to the track.

A set like these that I picked up used. Gives me a gear ratio of 3.57

These allowed me to set a new PB and cut a sub 2.0 60' time.
