13.4 is hella slow. The average mag times I've seen reported are 12.9-13.1. The average for the Z is 13.2-13.5. Also if you look at any mag and compare the Camaro to the Z you will statiscally the Z is always slightly slower. Meaning that if C&D got 13.4 on the Camaro they probably got 13.5-13.6 for the Z.

And again no, the Z has more traction issues than the Camaro. Dispite the fact that the Camaro has skinnier rear tires and inferior traction ratings compared to my Nismo. And it's not due to the suspension of the NISMO because my previous touring/sport Z wasn't any better.

Yea did some more reading and your right, that 13.4 was a slower time... Im still surprised though about the wheel spin...

The install of JRZ Clubsport coilovers with 1000 lb front srpings and 400 lb rears eleminated that hop completely on my car.

My brother has the 2010 Camaro SS2 and we have run them (my Z his C) many times. Stock, we were DEAD EVEN before I went to my TT setup. Now with the TT stage 2 pkg its not even close.

I dont suffer from the "wheel hop" others are talking about. This could be because my car is a 7AT?? I dont really know.

ummm no. c6 runs in ss and can trophy, 370z is a cs car. corvette is a faster car

Ive had a similiar scary experience. Please let me know if your springs help out with that. I was thinking a better strut would help more though personally. Shoot me a pm when you install though if you could.

tires and alignment make more of a difference

I'm aware the Vette is in a faster class but when you compare times the Z comes out on top, at least with my local area it does. Back when I used to have the Vette my Z would still pull a faster time. It was also easier to turn in on sharp turns where the Vette would understeer. Also the only Vette guys that pull faster times are the Z06 guys. So either myself and the other Vette owners suck at driving Vettes or the Z is a better auto-x car. Either way the Z is hands down the easier car to driver around an auto-x course.

Also I thought the Z was BS class, at least that's how we run them. Not that it matters to me as I'm not out there to compete for a trophy

Due to the change in weather condition, a direct time comparison might not be ideal. Still, SS cars lay down faster times most of the times at the tour. There is a reason why SS cars carry a much higher PAX than CS. C5 non Z06s are AS cars. At this point, C6 probably won't take home a win. Still, the car was fast enough to finish in the top 5 at the tour a few years back. I would have finished in the trophies in a C6 had I not kicked cones on the last turn in day 1 (i am still pissed over that). Corvettes are not easy cars to drive, it was part of the reason why I gave mine up. I completely agree the 370z turns in better and they are much easier to drive. Faster? Hell no.

I have one raw FTD in my Prius and none in my C6 or 370z. It's all about luck and who is driving that day. Autox is weird like that.

Ugh

Yeah, but that's just a dream. Means nothing in the real world.

Nelly

Yeah, and if you're gonna dream, dream about beating bugattis, right?

This is what I'm saying. This guy's dreaming about small fish. Dream big. Hell, why weren't you beating MacLarens and Lambos in your fantasy realm? Camaro? HA! Unless it turned into a 3-story tall robot with lazer arms, your dreams are suck. In fact, I bet it was black-and-white and your love interest was some plain jane.

psh "dreaming":rolleyes:

Some people, right?

Not me. My dreams are beyond beating mediocre supercars with hot models. We are talking straight up pulling on fighter jets with al himself as my love interest.

Near

Far

Wherever you are

my dream usually results in happy ending, oh wait.

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Camaro with the super charger package VS my GTM stage 2 SC.
Now thats going to be a good race.
11.6 to 11.3 i hope to run once i get the car set up , Who knows it may run slower with traction problems.
Z

Track is way different from the street. Raced multiple new SS's and never once got beat. Dead even every time. This was in a car that ran 14.0@102.88. My old 140K mile WS6 6-speed.

On a very tight track does the C6 still stomp the 370Z?

...and POP goes the 4-cylinder S10 rear-end.
...Twist goes the rear-1/4 panel.
...Bubble goes the paint on the rear-sail.
...crack goes the hard plastic dash in the sunlight.

Damn F-bodies. F*** a 4th gen F-body.

I had a few friends with these cars back in the day. I knew about the crappy rear-end but the rear 1/4 panel? too much torque?

It happens when you run a DR without SFC's. Even a hard launch on good pavement and sticky street-tires will ripple the 1/4 panel. Look at a few LS1 F-bodies if you get a chance. Lots of them show it.

Skimped on suspension? or just one of those things?

:shakes head:

I know the hardtop 3rd gen f-body's had the cracked roof issue on the hardtop models. After that you'd think GM would have learned (or cared?).

I've road tested a stock coupe with the auto stick. I was trying to buy a dealer installed SC 680 hp vert but the banks wouldn't go for it. Not that I lost out. Anyway, the autostick coupe felt very slow compared to my 7at vert. Ofcourse handling wasn't even close to what I remember my Z being stock. I have not drag raced either but street feel isn't even close. :worship:

Feel is VERY subjective. I don't like it. My 1995 Trans Am felt way faster than my 2001 Trans Am. I did race LT1's in my LS1, and LS1's in my LT1. I can tell you that it just wasn't so.

I raced a 2011 Camaro SS down the Strip here in Vegas in my 7AT....wasnt a full 1/4 mile but it was a decent distance from stop light to stop light. there was never a gap between the Camaros rear bumper and my front bumper. We were pretty much neck and neck the entire time.....Driver of the camaro was mad as hell when we got to the next light...

I can say, a 370Z Sort rolling 60 up to 110, the Camaro SS with over 100 more HP will be at 115 or more.

Yeah, a necro bump with added street racing stupidity. :rofl2:
