Camaro LT1
So I just recently purchased a 2021 Camaro LT1 6 speed manual, just wanted to know if the LT1 model is slightly detuned compared to the SS model, the 0-60 on the SS is 3.5 seconds however on the Lt1 model the 0-60 is 4.0 seconds.
But the 1/4 mile is still the same at 12.2 seconds. Is this due to a detune? Or is it due to the suspension being different? If that's the case cant I just upgrade my suspension and get the proper performance. Tire would need upgraded as well. |

No, not detuned. Identical engine and transmission.

(By the way, the difference between 4.0 and 3.5 seconds is very significant, it wouldn't be just a "slight" detune as it takes the ZL1 200 extra horses to achieve it.)

The slightly slower 0-60 time is due to the rear tires size and type.
The LT1 is technically lighter than the SS which is why it still holds a very close 1/4 mile time. LT1 has 245 all season tires SS has 275 summer rated tires |

The only thing that is detuned on the LT1 model is the speed limiter is lower because of the crappy tires. Same hp as the SS, but worse tires.

rear Axle ratio changed? 2.85 or 3.23?

I put some 305's on the back, 285's up front, and the LT1 just grabs and goes. Wheel spin is almost tough to achieve with this setup.

The LT1 and the SS both have 2.77 rear limited slip, not a open rear.
