Why do you hate this car?
If the stock 5th gen is capable of doing 12.6 - 12.7 stock at its max potential and optimal conditions, I just don't see any logical reason why less weight, more power and superior torque curve, and an 8-speed can't shave AT LEAST 2 or three tenths off that.
I don't know what the GM advertised 1/4 mile times are on the 5th gen SS, but I'm guessing they are 12.9 - 13 flat? So for this car I can see their advertised times as mid 12s at least, and in the hands of owners we will see low 12s....100%.
The ONLY negative I can see, are the run flats on the SS, which likely have a stiffer sidewall which will equate to more difficult launches.
