11 second SS prediction
 

That's right, you heard it here first, I predict the new SS will run an 11.99 bone stock, in the hands of a capable driver, in negative da with the 8 speed auto. I predict we'll see times of 12
3 - 12.4 from the magazines. I'll go ahead and drop the mike here.:pop2:

no le hace.... Always a faster gun in town. For me, Just enjoy the push into the seat back and some V-8 music. But you are right, low 12s or high 11s should be there. Right along with the stang.

The only stock stang running low 12s will be the GT350.

I don't think a 12.0 or 11.99 is crazy. Better suspension more hp and less weight. Heck some 5th gens have gone mid 12's compared to the mag times being around 13's. ( stock )

No Way.:smiling1:

you think the Camaro will be faster than that Corvette?

Stingray Z51 2dr Convertible, 460 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 3.7 sec 12.1 @ 119 mph Stingray Z51 2dr Coupe, 460 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 3.7 sec 12 @ 119 mph Stingray 2dr Convertible, 455 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 4.2 sec 12.3 @ 118 mph Stingray 2dr Coupe, 455 hp
6.2L V-8, 7-spd man 4.2 sec 12.2 @ 119 mph

my guess is 12.5-12.7

lmao thats not true at all cause ive ran my car 12.5 at 112 down here in mia and a few auto guys have been posting 12.4 stock

What are the times for 8speed auto trans?? I believe the 8sp Camaro will come close to the Manual base Stingray. Maybe .2 slower 0-60 and .2-.4 in the quarter

The OP was talking about a hero run in perfect conditions with a good driver. In similar conditions, I think the C7 runs around an 11.7.

He estimated 12.3-12.4 as being more typical for the 6th gen.

I think a hero run on a prepped track makes that possible but not typical. I think
it's going to be on the order of 1/10 second faster than the ATS-V, so 12.2 typical
for an auto, 12.5 typical for a manual. It's going to be a compelling package. Probably
closer to the 350R than the GT PP on the track too.

GM quoted times, and magazine runs will likely have the Camaro SS auto 8 speed at 12.2 - 12.4.

But if you follow the C7 forums, you'll see those cars have dipped WELL into the 11s bone stock.

I would not be shocked at all to see a 6th gen Camaro SS auto get into the very high 11s stock.

so 11.00 is a guess with a hero run and not on paper? bone stock just on a prepped track?

we still don't even really know if it's going to have launch control... from an idle launch I would predict 12.3... with launch control maybe .1/.2 less... I still find it hard to think that it'll break into the 11's bone stock...

11.9Xs...NOT "11.00"s

Sorry Dave but many of us said high 11s months ago, so we didn't hear it here first.

A 15 GT running 12.4 will be as common as a 6th gen Camaro SS running 11.8-11.9. Few and far between. I see a lot of 12.1-12.2 times for a good run on a 8 speed SS
