It has been done and documented, no slicks. For instance:

I round and thats an 8.3... also I HIGHLY doubt the tires were the factory ones especially since this run happened in 2009

but yea, I know we get in the 12s all the time in stock form

Well, well I stand corrected. But I'd have to say that thing had slicks on it, an excellent track prep.

Once I looked Sam up, I remember the car and the articles about the suspension upgrades. Very interesting stuff. Looks like a great combination.

Ya gotta give Sam a lot of credit though, too. To be an SCCA Solo Champion takes more than just a good setup on the car. He obviously has finely honed driving skills too.

I used to run in Solo II back in the mid-70's and early 80's with my '74 Z28. It's great fun. I had not done much of that kind of thing over the years in between until last June when I drove the '02 HRE on the Track Day portion of the Motorstate Challenge. What a blast!!! Way more fun than drag racing, in my opinion.

a 35th ann was a standard fbody... but GMMG did build a performance edition 35th ann

My brother told me a 40th Anniversary ran an 8.2 on the 1/8th mile at the track a couple of weekends ago and I was wondering it this was possible stock. Someone said that the owner said it was stock, but I'm highly doubting it.

The last anniversary camaro was the 2002 35th . I have a 30th anniversary SS which is a 1997 purchased new in 1997 . Love this vehicle . Mine ran a little over 11 in the quarter but was a 94 degree day .Not best for performance . Mine has a Vortech S trim supercharger system with 3.73 rear . I dont beat on it much still has only 17K miles .

Technically speaking all 2002 Camaro's were 35th anniversary cars, a 35th anniversary SS isn't the standard FBody. You could get options through SLP, not as much as Berger or GMMG but still better than a plain Z28.
