2010 M6 SS VS 2011 5.0

[mrvenicess]

When I ran the girl in the 5.0 auto we were both very low 13's on a test n tune night with temps in the mid 80's, very humid, and little track prep. My best time was a 13.027 and her's was a 13.074. She had a 1/4 tank of gas, silly me had a full tank!

3.31 are the optional gears in the Auto.
The 3.31 Manual cars are a little quicker b/c we dont have to shift into 5th gear just around the 1000ft like the manual cars with the 3.55 or 3.73.

What's the standard gear for the auto then?

It seems the standard (and only gear) available with the automatic is the 3.15, optional gears available with manual trans only.

Her 1/4 tank was ~24 lbs, your full tank was ~114lbs. So maybe a tenth advantage to her there ...

5.0 is automatic , intake , catback , and tune.
Who wins at dragstrip on street tires and who wins from a 30-35 roll race?
Just looking for opions. No racing has happened.

Simply put, Camaro wins...hands down. My opinion...

[302-412]

Got a buddy with a base GT auto with just a Steeda Tune and cold air setup. 12.80's at 110+. Stock was 13.30's at 108.

From a roll there is no contest the SS will win but at the strip with street tires I bet he beats you even if you are a good driver. A M6 with mods is just not ging to be able to put that power down. The auto GT will be able to launch cleanly assuming driver knows what he is doing and then never miss a shift. Get some DR's and a driver mod and you will be able to take him on both fronts.

Thats my problem. Im betting I would be quicker right now, as I am learning, if my car was stock. Am at 440 at the wheels and on P Zeros I keep spinning thru 1st and 2nd. I guess the solution is practice, practice, practice!

The solution would be a stickier tire actually...

I am considering buying a pair of 18 wheels, have been looking at Z06 knockoff wheels and adding some Nitto Dr's. Should help Im told.

They make 20" drag radials too...

Also, I'd avoid the nitto drag radials. Hard to get them sticky. Mickey Thompson are better.

Im told the 18's give you a nice soft sidewall.

Unless you are running wrinkle wall tires, I wouldn't worry too much about the sidewall. Yes it is a bit softer, but the traction is gonna be about the same. Not sure if mickey thompson makes a 20" tire though.
