The LT1 won this award two consecutive years. 2014 and 2015. Still catching up

DETROIT (Wednesday, December 10, 2014) – The high performance, technology-packed LT1 Small Block 6.2L V8 that powers the 2015 Corvette Stingray is a Ward’s 10 Best Engine for 2015. The engine also was recognized with this award in 2014.

True , but the coyote doesn't need heads and/or cam to run similar times because it doesn't have COPD at 6500 so it all balances out I spose

And the 5.0 won it in 2011 and 2012..

GM was late to that party

I’m faster than every s550 on the list besides the mineshaft air gutted converter car on ftw purple, pulleys and ewp with full Suspension gears and trans brake. With a literal bolt on car. I’ve never considered a converter a bolt on. I have stock suspension no gears pump E85. Near full weight with 260 lb driver. Good air but nothing crazy around -100

A heads cam lt1 is capable of 600 rwhp (very close already with just stock ported heads and mild cam) and 9 second passes. Without being a gutted POS race car. Just wait

Mod for mod NA 6g greater than 15-17 s550. The 18+ May change that.

When did the 5.0 get direct injection? 2018. Now the GT* can keep up with a SS.

A better play would have been to mention dual injection but GM has that for 2018 also in the LT5.

* GT, A10, PP, Michelin PS, 3.55 in drag race mode

And the SBC is the goat. Ford never arrived at that party.

See what I did there

regardless of what you may consider. a Converter is a bolt on...according to you're own fast list.

you were also .03 faster than the #2 BO S550 despite being both .1 slower in 60' and being down 1.5mph in the 1/4. That s550 picked up 26.59 on the back half to your 23.32 yet you came around him? LOL , you had one hell of a 330-660 or that guys car had a horrible one.

and that #1 bolt on s550 was faster than all but one of the 600whp capable c6 BO+IM cars on the fast list save one that it was .04 slower than.

Agreed

Yeah, I do agree here and have said I understand the excitement with the refresh. It's not an excuse for trolling, but it is great to see some improvement in the platform.

My opinion is they will be so very close in real life conditions that it will always be a drivers race, but all things equal(impossible) the Camaro is just a faster car.

Not sure what you are getting at comparing slips. My car has run tens in 70 degree weather. Comparing back half on different tracks and weather is a joke. I went faster end of story. Without a converter and in higher DA. Pretty funny

That #2 car also had a large DA advantage over me. I have two passes on my setup and shift points not even dialed in. I’ve back halved 25 + on other passes as well. If you look at my thread from that pass that lane was reading a lower mph all night

What it only took for my car to run tens is ridiculous. A 15-17 s550 is not capable of the the same apples to apples period. Do only what I have done to my car at 3700+ lbs on a 15-17 s550 same track and day and you got nothing for me.End of story

You think you are talking to an amateur ? A GT with only my mods is an 11.5 car at my tracks. I shit on them. It’s not even close

If they pull weight, run ftw and a converter it gets interesting. Other than that nope sorry. That’s reality

Perhaps, but the mustang consistently trapping 3-5 mph higher on these early runs might say otherwise

The Camaro actually being faster might say otherwise too...

I just thought of this thread this morning from our talk on the other thread. Seems as though the Mustang is aways just a little behind. This was a great run. Faster than what I could ever get out of my 2012 ZL1 at the beaver. Although, I never got to run it in ultimate conditions or track prep.
