Relegating runs corrected for DA to such a list makes makes perfect sense, but the red light business is just silly. Somebody somewhere has probably decided to do this for the sake of 'purity' or for some such nonsense that makes sense only to them. With such a penchant for useless bureaucracy that poor soul could surely find a long and lucrative career in politics.

and dont underestimate your car. Its a tad overweight and puts out a little less power than the LS3 cars but theyre still plenty quick! The better gearing and 50more hp than an LS1 F-Body makes it enough for the L99 to overcome the 350-400lbs weight difference and run a bit faster than them.

Aww Evil Twin, your actually complimenting a Camaro!? Omg, I must be in the twilight zone. Touching though.

I love my car, but having the power I have now looking back on the car stock.....man the L99 stock was a big disappointment to me. I'm not taking away from the car's glory, but I feel like Chevy should have made sure the car had the same power as the LS3-426 instead of 400. The L99 puts out far far less rwhp than the LS3, about 30hp less at the wheels to the typical LS3's 360ish. Another thing, the gains from bolt on,...the LS3 can break the 400 rwhp mark easily from just a cai, exhaust, and headers, put those on a L99 and your probably just going to make it to 370ish. I'm just going by the gains I've seen posted on this site and such.

If they gave the L99 more aggressive gearing, and that extra rwhp, the LS3 would really be saying

i wish my l99 made 330 stock...hahaha when i first dynoed it, it made like 319...HUGE disappointment. With the LSR cai, res delete, s-type axle back and tunes, i'm only putting down 341hp 359tq. not great, but a 12.68 at almost 110 isn't bad. granted the exhaust mods really didn't give me any power.

Mr CLuTcH, where in New Orleans are you?
I ride the west bank, Lapalco,HWY 90 a good bit.

Ever plan to go out to NPR let me know.

I have the feeling if the autos came with the LS3, the autos would be holding the records for quickest times, just like the CHallenger and Mustang. modern autos have come so very far.

While the auto Challengers have indeed put down better times, the 5-speed Mustangs were putting down the better times with the 4.6 3V engines.

what about the new 6 speed 5.0 autos though?? They seem to be averaging 350rwhp which is about 15rwhp less (or 15% drivetrain loss vs about 12% for the manuals). The autos make up for it for shift speed and consistency.

agreed. in stock form, most automatics tend to have quicker ET's just because they don't spin badly (if at all) on the launch creating great 60' times.

I didn't disagree that the auto 5.0s are so far putting down better times than 6-speed 5.0s. I just said that in the 4.6 3V Mustangs, the 5-speeds had the better times.

Sorry about that, that referring to the 5.0s

Nothing to be sorry about.

I knew you were, I just wanted to point out that unlike the Challenger and the 5.0s, the 4.6 3V Mustangs were faster with a stick. The Camaros are faster with sticks too, but the engines in the manual Camaros put out more hp than the engines in the auto Camaros.

Even if the car I was looking at was a little bit faster with an auto, I'd still get it with a stick. I just enjoy driving them so much more. I'll likely be getting a 5.0 in the next few years, and I'll be getting one with a stick in it regardless if the autos are a little faster.

Pretty amazing - hey did you guys see the newest motor trend article were the camaro v6 outperforms the mustang v6 in the 1/4?

while this is surely a bait post... tying is hardly considered outperforming...

Yea, that's not a bad time considering the mods. I still feel if you want to see any serious power and performance out of a L99 getting it cammed with exhaust ,headers, and a cai is a must! Add some gears next and omg, you'll be satisfied for a long time. I just think stock the car should have came better prepared for battle under the hood like the LS3. Had I known it would be that weak I wouldn't have bought it. I mean it was fast, but I remember going against 370zs ,and it just upset me that they'd stay even with me until i reach the sweetspot then walk all over them. I wanted domination through all the gears! And with my current setup i got it. But yesterday i went up against a cobra; he surprised me but i still pulled it off considerably. He has my respect though.
