370z vs Camaro SS

Yeah but if you go to any Camaro forum all of the decent drivers are pretty solidly in the 12s. 13.4 is definitely one of the slower times for the car. It'd be like if a mag reported the 370Z did the 1/4 in 14 seconds.

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...

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.
