New Toy

quik ur truck made how much power & u only ran a 12 sec pass :rolleyes:

@danhr

well lets see…

99% of that extra weight is rotating mass from the wheels since the new camaro needs bling and you can’t get it with a lighter 16" wheel.

the tires are a ridiculous 28.7" tall compared to the 4th gen’s 25.7"

and then let’s factor in the new camaro’s drivetrain. Yes the motor has about 100 more hp/tq than the good ole LS1, but compare what both cars are typically dyno’ing at. All that new/heavy drivetrain and IRS soaks up a lot of HP, and the end result is there being only a ~50-60 hp difference between the two. So you basically have an extra 50-60 rwhp to make up for that 300 lbs, not 100.

Don’t even get me started on the stupid IRS crap

There’s a guy on ls1tech that is setting all the 2010 camaro records, and when he was headers/tune only, he was trapping about 112 mph @ a 2000 DA(seems about on par with BoostedYards86’s). I think he has now ended up running like 11.8 @ 116 with bolt ons, tune, and using 18’s.

So there are your reasons why the new camaro is blowing the doors off of the 4th gen f-bodies.
