I am optimistic of the LGX cars running decent 1/4 miles, but even 13.1 sounds like a bit of a stretch even for a hero run to me. Hopefully I'm wrong. I predict 13.5 - 13.7 1/4 mile times (magazine tests) for the V6. To see a stock one run a 13.1 hero run would be utterly amazing to me. Who knows?

All things equal yes the v8 wins evrytime but let them catch one spinning and it could be over. Thats not something that normally happen a from one gen to the next so I'd say that's kinda rare.

I think with a couple bolt ons and a tune 6th gen V6s are going to be giving the stock 5th gen SS a hard time for sure....but I'd still give edge to stock 5th gen SS.....barely.
