Any thoughts on the new Camaro SS's?

Can I race one in P400 and have a chance? I am doing this for a friend! I will race the camaro and then race his 335 and compare notes.

I have a friend with a tuned 335 that's got a grudge with a Camaro SS owner and wants to beat him badly. Unfortunately, I don't know how well these chevy's perform!

I will assume the camaro is stock, but what about mods? How fast can these new camaros get?

I would say the race with P400 would be close..

The SS runs 4.9 (0-60) "insideline.com" and 13.4 (1/4 mile). They also claim that it will run 4.6 sec (0-60) and 13.3 (1/4 mile) in the SS automatic (400 hp)!!! which is strange, but they comment that they "optimized the shift points". I would say your 400 hp compared to his 400 hp is much better/faster, but this is just my guesstimated opinion. Just unleash that 507hp and dust him!!!

Hope this helps somewhat.

I think Ahmed is racing the Camara in P400 so that his friend in the modded 335 has a reference point, that's why he's not doing it in P500S.

Here's a video member BMWPower06 posted of him running in P400 against a stock 335 sedan. They looked kinda even so I would think the Camaro SS will beat you in P400 as well as a stock 335. It may also depends if you guys are doing a 0-60 or rolling high speed runs.

@ C: I stay around P340 or so lmao

From a line the Camaro SS will get the jump because of the torque. From a rolling start I think it would be pretty even if you were in P400 mode.

No matter what, race him in P500S and post the results!

About $1k in suspension mods and these cars ride like they are on rails.

People have been getting insane power levels from a "blown" LS series motor for years. Add a S/C and you are talking 600-700hp. Just check the CTS-V or ZR-1 specs.
