I would love to see the source that says the 2016 camaro v6 gets to 60 in 5.8 seconds.... From what I've read the 6th get camaro gets to 60 in 5.1 seconds. You're quoting 5th get times...

Not to mention a few rags hit 60 in UNDER 4 with the SS. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE Z's but the Z34 aint touching the camaro without FI. Itll be a tough fight with equal drivers with the "lowly" V6.

The only thing you're cheating on is where you're getting your numbers from They're 2015 numbers, not 2016.

A few folks in this thread have already backed me up, but I'll entertain you.

2016 Camaro 1SS:

0-60: 3.9 seconds
0-150: 25.1 seconds (the 370z goes 0-150 in 35.1 seconds, NOT 0-158--I assume this was just a typo though).
1/4 mile: 12.3 seconds. It's worth noting that there are posts on the Camaro6 forums of guys getting super close to breaking into 11 bone-stock and people breaking into 11's with drag radials. I'm sure some hero runs will break into 11's bone-stock (if they haven't already).

You can validate any of this via Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Hot Rod...literally any magazine that has done a test. Some have pulled better numbers than the ones seen above (not by much though).

I call bull **** on you taking an NA 370z and running into 11's with it. Maybe if you get the absolute hero of hero runs (still no). If you do, be sure to post it in the 1/4 mile thread because you'll be the king of NA Z's over there (you won't post there, because it's not happening). Maybe if you dump enough into the motor where you could have just FI'd it for cheaper.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with you (this is a great conversation, in my opinion), and I LOVE the 370z too, but it's just not anywhere near close to the Alpha platform Camaro. That car is as it's platform name suggests. Granted, it costs approximately 8-10k more than a Z. But I'd gather that 8-10k in a Z still won't touch it.

For fun, here's a video of a 2016 Camaro SS with cams, heads, exhaust and a 150 shot of nitrous breaking into 9's

Lastly, I didn't pull the 2016 V6 numbers. I can if you'd like, but I trust you can google them better than you did the last time.
