Official 1/4 Mile (V6) 2010+ Camaro Fast List

[Agent Atomic Orange]

What does the jury say about turning off all the nanny electronics for the 1/4? Could those things cause the car to "bog" down?

[mrray13]

Leaving the controls on has seen to work the best. With the current setup on the car, even with controls on, it's very easy to get wheelspin. I can only imagine what would happen if I turned them off, lol.

[67 GTO]

Out of 5 passes I tried one with T/C off and it was wheel spin for the better part of 60'. No go for me, need more practice I guess.

T/C on worked well, at launch I just try not to let the wheel spin so the engine speed management doesn't kick in that results in a little hesitation.

I find it easier launching doing my 0-60 mph runs on dry, clean blacktop/asphalt but that may be from not being so pumped like at the track.

I launch from idle with my auto.

I launced from idle on all four of my runs and my times were iffy. TC was on and I was in D not S. When the light turns green do you guys floor it? Or do you ease onto it for a second or two and then mash it? Just trying to figure out how to get my 60' under 2.2x

[Agent Atomic Orange]

Now are you guys driving autos or manuals?

[BaylorCamaro]

Automatic, oh and I did go through the water box all four times and did a quick burn out. I've been hearing not to go through the water box if you have street tires? I didn't think I was sleeping or spinning when it turned green but maybe I did for just a second, can't remember.

I always have it in S. I've found if you floor it with T/C on that's when wheel spin can be detected and the 'puter will compensate resulting in some hesitation till the tires grab. I try and ease into the pedal until I sense I've got good traction then I nail it. still working on it.

Ok, thanks GTO. I figured that by keeping TC ON and then flooring it, the car will want to spin and then the computer will cut the power for a second until there wont be any will spin. It makes sence that you need to feather it off the launch. Guess I'm going to have to test this out next time I'm at the track.

A second in this game is a eternity. LOL..Best of luck your next time out.
Sure is fun!

It's a great experience. Most folks at the track are helpful and can give great advice (usually...grain of salt and common sense). Avoid the waterbox (the treads bring water to the staging area) and avoid the main groove when you stage (starter might line you up). I get a moderate rev and engage the clutch no faster than I can roll the throttle up. Too fast - I lurch or jump. Too slow - I'm slipping the clutch or spinning tires.

To me that first to second shift is the most important. Third just needs to be quick as hell and 5500 maybe a little higher seems about right.

Let me know how it goes. If you're at the Camaro5fest you'll have a great chance to try it out! Only 36 days.
