My dad's buddy just got a brand new camaro SS...i believe hes packin 320hp...but hes heavier than mine. Im running stock and Im not sure of his tranny....lets assume auto.

Im sure the weight diff isn't enough for me to merit a victory, but would it even be a decent race?! Thanks.

 

No way could our car ever compete with a Camaro SS. I would not even attempt to try to race him.

0-60 in under 5 seconds if he drives well. Very scary car, but I would take ours over that any day

 

Under 5?? damn! Didn't think it was THAT fast...what if he had an auto tranny? Still under 5?

 

If it was an auto, I remember reading somewhere it was about 5.2-5.5 seconds. Definitely a fast car, but lacks the quality of our car. One of the reasons why it is no longer being made.

I guess I would try racing him, but I definitely would not expect good news

 

A Cl would get DESTROYED by a Camaro SS

 

The new SS are FAST, even with AUTO. Just like 5.0's, you will find very few stock SS on the street.

 

The CLS is 14.6-14.8 BONE STOCK (good track/weather/driver).

The SS is 13.0-13.3 BONE STOCK (good track/weather/driver).

You have no chance straight up. Holeshot him by a full second, get good traction where he doesn't and with 1 or two missed shifts by him, you're right there hanging with him.

On edit: Also, most of the Z28s and SSs out there will have a lid-$70 (somewhat equivalent to a CAI for you guys) and an exhaust cutout-$40. These two very simple mods give an honest 20-25 to the rear wheels and .2/2 at the track

 

Another note to keep in mind is that they are very UNDERrated at 320 hp.

Most 01s dyno BONE STOCK 305-310 / 310-315 at the rear wheels (some even get in the 315/320 range)

That's 350+/350+ crank.

 

Put it this way.........a second in a 1/4mile race is six car lengths, so don't bother.

 

if we're talking street cars 1 second is going to be ~10 car lengths.

 

Also, the Camaro SS is probably 50-100 lbs lighter than the CL-S, not heavier.

 

A Camaro SS would kill a CL-S.

 

The SS would destroy a CL-S! Not even close!

 

Camaro Z28 - close
Camaro SS - Dont EVEN try
you'll see nothing but tail lights getting smaller and smaller and smaller, but you look good losing though

 

Pass me some of that shit you're smoking; I could use some.

Assuming we are talking late model LS1 Camaros (98+), you are in the same boat either way. The SS is worth .05-.1/.5 at the track and maybe 5-10/5-10 at the rear wheels over a Z28.

The CL-S will be so overmatched that splitting hairs on a tenth or so over the quarter mile is pointless.

Would you like me to scan in a buddy's timeslip, BONE STOCK 2001 Z28, 13.1 @107...

"close".....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha

 

Yeah it ain't anywhere NEAR close.

 

CL-S+Z28 SS(..or WS-6 or Firehawk)= x2 on CL-S

 

Hey a Sport Car vs a luxury sport coupe= I don't think so.
What is the point of even comparing these cars together. The SS is made to kill Rustange GT's and the CL-S is made to go against the other luxary sport coupes in it's class. One Question though,
could a Automatic Rustange GT 2002 beat a CL-S.

 

An '02 Rustange GT would hand you your ass, stick or auto, coupe or vert.

 

A stock SS can beat your modded Rustank! I've seen them run 12's stock! Sucka!

 

Fuck off, bitch. I never said my car was faster than an SS.

There's always something/someone faster out there.

As far as the Rustank comment, well...to each his own...

 

Shalom, what type of car do you drive? Unless you own a car that can run 12s or beat Pull's then I suggest you keep your mouth shut.

 

I asked this question just to get some input. My dad's friends just got a new Camaro SS, he loves chevys...After this thread, im pretty confident i'd lose by a long stretch...anyways, it still would be fun to RACE him...im humble, i don't mind losing.

 

I drive a CL-S. And a stock SS can beat his car stock and modded!

 

And a stock Viper will beat a stock Z06 which will beat a stock C5 which will beat a stock SS...what is your fucking point???

Yes, a stock SS driven well should beat my car, but I've had my fair share of F-Body kills at the track. It should be noted that a stock F-body running 12s is not an everyday occurence, however. For every one that pulls 12s stock, there are several that can only get 13.1-13.2.
