Made a Camaro owner mad!

The interesting thing about the V6 Camaro is that it gets off the line pretty briskly. It put half a car on a Saleen Mustang to 60 before he pulled away.

I'm pretty sure that's because the V6 Camaro is geared nicely for quick getaways and it doesn't have too much power to where it's fighting for traction like the Saleen is.

Most drag races on street tires are even or close to even up until the first 60' or so where you can really get the power down and the faster car actually begins to pull.

I totally agree. I had the snow tire advantage which are sticky even at low temperatures

But the comment is that finally the American V6 cars (Camaro/Mustang) are quite drivable and actually peppy, their not the sub 200hp dogs they used to be.

Agreed.

I have to assume that it's because the camaro's 4,000,000,000 lb curb weight keeps the tires from being able to lose traction off the line.
