Top speed for at least the V8 Camaros is limited by aero (wind resistance) and not achievable in highest gear for any of the transmissions (completely stock).
What I found from auto magazine testing (SS 1LE):

0-60 4.1 4.1 4.2
1/4 mile 12.5 @ 115.2 12.4 @ 116 n/a

Here’s my personal experience after buying a NEW Shock 2019 2SS A10 on July 15th and subsequently, trading in for a NEW 2019 Shock 1SS/1LE M6 on February 8th this year.
My BEST, on DIRTY, DUSTY, low grip DFW Texas access rds and finishing slightly uphill in A10, was a 12.2 sec 1/4 mile in A10, recording also, my best and ONLY 4.2 sec 0-60 time!!!
Learning LC on the M6 was NOT easy learning curve, and I STILL botch my throttle position going from 1st to 2nd a third of the time LOL
Having said that, in same no access, access road, I managed a BEST 1/4 mile of 12.3 with manual, however, it showed a 0-60 of only 4.6 seconds?! Having said that, a couple weeks later, I found some reasonable asphalt, still a bit dirty and kind of a hump, and I clicked my FIRST EVER (and only to date), 0-60 time matching best of A10, with a 4.2 seconds!!! IN A MANUAL WHOO HOO!!! I’d ONLY ever clocked 4.3s in attempting a 0-60 time only, in my A10... so this is ONLY 0-60 only attempt that I’d clocked a 4.2, the other one was during a 1/4 mile attempt. That being the case, I truly believe, in 58-63* temperature, on a flat and clean asphalt surface, no burn out, no prep, mathematically a 11.9 sec 1/4 mile is a GIVEN, but I think under ideal conditions, an 11.7 sec 1/4 mile is possible?!
Ps the onboard computer never shows the speed at 1/4 mile, which might be a nice addition to the software, Chevy??? But all things being equal, a best time of 12.3 with a 0.4 seconds too slow 0-60, on crappy conc-phalt in Texas, let’s me know better numbers are most assuredly doable!!!
