First thing he did was call my best friend (they work in the same shop) and tell him he was ordering some exhaust and making an appointment for a tune because he has a V6 Camaro to pick on The fellow has a bit of a chip on his shoulder against me (long story) so my best friend knew he was referring to me and my 1LT.

For curiosity sake, who do you think would take the cake?

2011 GMC 1500 Crew 2WD 6.2/6 Speed Auto (+exhaust and tune)

or

2012 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT 3.6/6 Speed Auto (stock)

I personally do not care as I don't have anything to prove to the guy with my daily driver. I have a 5.3L powered beater pickup that I have no problem spraying or whatever to put him in his place. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. I haven't driven any of the 6.2 pickups.

Who cares. You're in a camaro. He's in a pickup.

why even ask?

the truck is made for torque, and it has a lot of low end and are designed that way, they have no top end power, and their transmission shifting programming sux balls.

sorry truck guys, but I've had several GM trucks, including most recently a 2010, and they are trucks, period, they have power where it is needed, for hauling and towing, not for racing..


it amazes me that people will race/compare pineapples to grapefruits just to have bragging rights.

which do you think will win? a brick or a skipping stone?

damn how did you get your camaro to weigh 3,500 pounds? seems like a pretty light camaro compared to the rest of ours....

100% stock vs 100% stock, it can't hang. I'm gone out the hole and pull him to any speed. Either way, I don't care how fast it is in a straight line, it's not going to hang in the turns.

He bought a Hooker muffler for it and may have it tuned by Futral here locally. I imagine he will be a lot closer then, if not door to door.

But, he isn't going to touch 29MPG at 75 MPH

neither am I and I am in a V6
