2016 Callaway Camaro SS
 
http://www.callawaycars.com/homepage...ay-c18-camaro/

622 HP and 605 LB-FT Torque

Times listed aren't that impressive and has to be off as we have seen stock cars run those times.

Which is what I said a few months ago....

The 6th gen is a great car but once you start adding HP it's going to be hard to put that additional power down due to the cars light weight and skinny tires.

The Z06 combats this by going with 315's in the rear..

The 5th Gen had it's weight to help plant the rear end down.

I'm sure the aftermarket community will figure it all out in due time though. :)

Definitely needs wider and stickier tires plus suspension mods to be able to put the power down.

I have a hard time believing those numbers are accurate. Why would they bother making that package and skimp on getting the power down. Who would buy that?

Even though it lost weight, it's anything but light weight. The rear tires are a tad skinny, but the main issue is that they are sub par run flats...put a good, sticky tire on it, like a Pilot Super Sport and that would help a lot...

People who want to say they have 622 hp but have no intention of using it.

That link is kinda old. It was posted on another forum months ago. Pretty sure those numbers are just old estimates, as when that came out nobody even had a car...they probably didn't expect stock cars to run the numbers they are LOL.

121 mph is nothing to sneeze at. If a car can get into the 116-117 mph range in the quarter it's putting down some hp.

I wonder if companies can add their own tunes that affect MRC. That way, if you had MRC, they could add a custom "drag mode" that would help with launching the car. Then you just need better tires.

Another good example. The Hellcat with its 275 rear tires.

3yr/36,000 mile standard warranty is nice!

DR's would put that car in the high 10's.

Unfortunately the hood is killing me.

And the Scat Pack with 245's. Test drove one, and it was fun, but very poor choice in tire size and capability.

That's what I'm doing when they show up next week. These run flats suck big time, getting some regular pilot super sport's put on and will keep one of the front run flats mounted on one of my stock wheels (I purchased LPO wheels) in my trunk as a full size spare.

There's no reason a front can't be used for a rear as a temporary spare tire right? It'll fit normally?

Good point, some people get so into power they don't realize all the work that should go into it, suspension work too, rear end adjustment for bigger tires so u don't wrap that car into a tree... heck, even the vette gets 285 tires in the back... mine is powerful enough for me...
