I honestly haven't checked in awhile

I know last time I checked I thought they were 8:22 and 8:21

And Lee, no, and if you want factory warrantied boost...get the CTS-V

Why does everyone think the L99 is so much slower than the LS3? I have been right on the LS3 advertised times in my L99. I don't understand why so many people are getting bad times.

Gentry78 · 07-22-2009, 04:25 AM

yeah it's still at 8:20 for camaro and 8:22.85 for colbalt and 9:02 for a different lap that was wet

105 versus 110 is why in the quarter

Those numbers do not lie sir.

That 6 speed auto is nasty though.

Thought GM, as well as most other testers, stated that the auto was slightly quicker in the 0-60 by like .1 or .2 secs and the LS3 in the 1/4 by like .1 or .2 secs.

Gentry78 · 07-22-2009, 04:31 AM

remember these are times from the worst part of the year to be running them for best numbers

Does not surprise me Matt has the fastest auto time at all

Lee9710 · 07-22-2009, 04:33 AM

Some of those times are really high. I ran a 12.9 1/4 in my '05 GTO with slicks a couple times. Some of those were like 13.8 and 13.9

steddy2112 · 07-22-2009, 04:33 AM

Slicks make a HUUUUGE difference

Really? didn't think it would be like a 13.8 down to 12.9 difference.

steddy2112 · 07-22-2009, 04:36 AM

You can't compare different cars and drivers.

Slicks can easily knock off a .3-.5 in a 1/4 though

Lee9710 · 07-22-2009, 04:37 AM

Alot of the guys on here have a problem spinning the tires , but once I turn everything off and hit it I spin just fine. I must have gotten a strong L99. Have about 1600 miles on it so far. Dealer said it wouldn't be near full power until like 3000 or so.

yeah slicks is the difference in a 2.2 60' and a 1.8 60'

and as a rule of thumb for every .1 off 60' it takes .2 off your et
