Another L99 baseline
So here is the sad reality...500 miles on the odometer, bone stock, 3/4 tank of gas (93 octane), DA 2900, 2 launch techniques used, stabilitrack off, TC off.
For those who are not familiar with DA...its a calculation between elevation, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity. It was HOT and HUMID, it was around 90 deg and humidity was around 60% raising to 70% later in the evening. I did 3 runs in a row straight off the street, then I let the car cool off 1 hour, then ran it 2 more times. Best ET/mph in BOLD. 1st run brake stall to 2000rpm 60' 2.191 1/8' 9.312 mph 76.34 1/4' 14.27 mph 100.366 2nd run flash stall off idle 60' 2.126 1/8' 9.059 mph 78.152 1/4' 13.90 mph 102.34 3rd run brake stall 2000rpm 60' 2.159 1/8 9.241 mph 76.628 1/4 14.183 mph 100.92 For comparison sake, if I corrected this best ET/mph to ET/MPH @ sea level from Drag Times. Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines 13.459 @ 105.729 MPH Which I guess is somewhat in line with the car mags.

Thanks for the numbers... Interesting that 2k brake stall didn't help any.
Did you use Tap Shift or Sport/Competition mode...? |

I need to get mine to the track and click off a 12.9 while I am still stock

The L99 is going to benefit more from tuning and performance upgrades, it is definitely more detuned than the LS3 mchanically and by the PCM/TCM. We'll see as time goes on. I was very disappointed with my times and dyno numbers as well. See http://www.neweraperformance.net/def...ct&NID=6690416 for our resluts on our intake dyno numbers, no tricks here. A full thread is coming once we have pics etc. As we go on here with time, you will see some real fast L99's, trust me.

I have to say stock for stock the 5th gens were made to SELL and not be necessarily the fastest nor the slowest. I think gm kinda messed up with making more stripped down cars with all out power and mediocre mpg ratings with the 4th gens. The more I read the more I know how small the actual numbers of new car buyers are as big time racers.
Mods will make anything fast though beautiful car! try stalling higher till right before the tires start to spin. I expect a little more out of your car.

I bet the 05-09 GT's were running 14.0-14.5's @ ~97-99 mph. |

Ouch....for 400hp in the new Camaro, these times should all be at LEAST flat 13's....and SHOULD dip into the 12's.
I need to get my Camaro so I can see just how this will compare to my 4th Gen. That's going to be the only way. |

Guys be careful about what you hear and who you believe, alot of folks will come on here and quote fast times...and they may actually have a timeslip and video, but they may lie about mods, run nitrous when they aren't est. The weather was terrible, extremely hot AND VERY humid, I didin't go there expecting great times, combine that with 3/4 tank of gas, and only 500 miles, it was a receipe for bad times. I hoped to have a better baseline run, so I could "start out" a little faster, but it is what it is. I totally agree with the poster that said GM made these cars to sell not to perform...yeah, they perform OK, but they knew they needed to make $$ and they created a car they thought would move out of showrooms moreso than move down the 1/4 mile.

Not with a DA of 3000 ft. (90 degree with high humidity). His times really aren't that bad with a DA that high. His corrected time was 13.4 @ 106 mph. That's not bad. My best time in my 06 A4 GTO was 13.3 @ 105 mph on a perfect 68 degree day with low humidity. |

Matt (@ Tune Time) ran 13.2 @ 106.21 in 698 DA weather which corrects to a 13.17 @ 106.6 at sea level, which my corrected mph would be the same so generally speaking you'd say they are making very similar power (based on mph). Track prep, more miles on his car, DR could be reason for quicker ET.
