11 second SS prediction

big dave · 08-20-2015, 08:31 PM

That's right, you heard it here first, I predict the new SS will run an 11.99 bone stock, in the hands of a capable driver, in negative da with the 8 speed auto. I predict we'll see times of 12
3 - 12.4 from the magazines. I'll go ahead and drop the mike here.

no le hace.... Always a faster gun in town. For me, Just enjoy the push into the seat back and some V-8 music. But you are right, low 12s or high 11s should be there. Right along with the stang.

The only stock stang running low 12s will be the GT350.

I don't think a 12.0 or 11.99 is crazy. Better suspension more hp and less weight. Heck some 5th gens have gone mid 12's compared to the mag times being around 13's. ( stock )

No Way.

Thebeezwax · 08-21-2015, 09:57 AM

you think the Camaro will be faster than that Corvette?

Stingray Z51 2dr Convertible, 460 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 3.7 sec 12.1 @ 119 mph Stingray Z51 2dr Coupe, 460 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 3.7 sec 12 @ 119 mph Stingray 2dr Convertible, 455 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 4.2 sec 12.3 @ 118 mph Stingray 2dr Coupe, 455 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 4.2 sec 12.2 @ 119 mph

my guess is 12.5-12.7

my guess is 12.5-12.7

What are the times for 8speed auto trans?? I believe the 8sp Camaro will come close to the Manual base Stingray. Maybe .2 slower 0-60 and .2-.4 in the quarter

The OP was talking about a hero run in perfect conditions with a good driver. In similar conditions, I think the C7 runs around an 11.7.

He estimated 12.3-12.4 as being more typical for the 6th gen.

mcsoul · 08-21-2015, 10:57 AM

I think a hero run on a prepped track makes that possible but not typical. I think
it's going to be on the order of 1/10 second faster than the ATS-V, so 12.2 typical
for an auto, 12.5 typical for a manual. It's going to be a compelling package. Probably
closer to the 350R than the GT PP on the track too.

GM quoted times, and magazine runs will likely have the Camaro SS auto 8 speed at 12.2 - 12.4.

But if you follow the C7 forums, you'll see those cars have dipped WELL into the 11s bone stock.

I would not be shocked at all to see a 6th gen Camaro SS auto get into the very high 11s stock.

Thebeezwax · 08-21-2015, 11:21 AM

so 11.00 is a guess with a hero run and not on paper? bone stock just on a prepped track?

we still don't even really know if it's going to have launch control... from an idle launch I would predict 12.3... with launch control maybe .1/.2 less... I still find it hard to think that it'll break into the 11's bone stock...

11.9Xs...NOT "11.00"s

IOMike · 08-21-2015, 11:56 AM

Sorry Dave but many of us said high 11s months ago, so we didn't hear it here first.

A 15 GT running 12.4 will be as common as a 6th gen Camaro SS running 11.8-11.9. Few and far between. I see a lot of 12.1-12.2 times for a good run on a 8 speed SS
