But since when is any weight reduction (i.e. resonator and wheels change) considered stock? A8 SS' 11.77-11.84 stock down to the run flats.

Only when a Mustang does it...lol!! I think LMR is just looking to get some press time and a little action their way. The way I see it, it's one thing for a Mustang shop with unlimited resources to go out and say they did this or that on a rented track. But I wanna see a true comparison between the two. And I wanna see how the GT handles a corner. If it does turn out to be faster than the Camaro then so be it. From the looks of it I doubt it tho. If we're to compare this run from LMR (which I don't consider official) to the best 6th Gen Camaro runs (which I don't consider official either), then the Camaro has been doing 11.8s and 11.9s bone stock with no changes to the car. Some are even claiming they did 11.7s. And these aren't shop owned cars to boot. I think the SS in an official shootout will be about 2-4 tenths faster. |

Just have to see more hitting the strip from actual customers than we can guess a base time.
Sooner or later they will start hitting dealers around here. |

One thing I'll give Stang owners is that they go to the track immediately after getting their cars, lol! I remember when the S550 first came out and you'd see more 15 GTs than 5th Gen Camaros at the track on any given day. I hope to see a few out there before the season ends.

Also a couple people have run 11.8 totally stock but it’s not on the fast list but on Facebook. I don’t care if it’s the 2nd car or the 100th what does that matter? It was a track rental in pretty good conditions. It’s a fair comparison. One of the first owners here on this site ran 12.0 first time out then an 11.7 on a drag pack within a month of the cars release. Not shop owned not at a rental. Just a guy who went to the strip. It’s impressive sure but do you expect this community to bow to it? If the shoe was on the other foot and a Camaro just dropped posting similar times the reaction would be the same. I can and have posted better slips and I know what my car is capable of. If you guys were looking for the knockout blow sorry it’s not happening. Sure the car will go faster. Best case scenario it could turn out to have a very small edge. Again. Is that supposed to be incredible ? The 6gen destroyed the 15-17 car and plenty still give two shits or deny it. And you still didn’t address the more modded beefcake 18 GT with tune, drag pack, DS, cat back and suspension that couldn’t leave the 12s. Further showing the LMR track rental was pretty decent conditions Last edited by ULTRAZLS1; 11-11-2017 at 04:56 PM. |

Plus, every SS has a full array of coolers with the promise that you can run a full tanks of fuel out and not overheat. Almost. *

[QUOTE=12.02 puts it at #5 on the C6g fast list with the #1 car being .1 faster. 11.88 is faster than all but 2 similarly modded C6g's and this is literally the 2nd 2018 to make passes. the most amusing thing for me is the guys saying they arent impressed cant post better slips. [/QUOTE]
uhhh i went 12.1 with manual car bone stock on a slick in +2000da lol,beefcake went 12.33 lund tuned,dragpack,dss axles,1pc ds,viking shocks,drag springs,cai,corsa catback. yeah im not impressed and i told terry thaton fb and he got mad lmr times are MUCH more impressive to me,but i still think they failed by pulling weight.beefcake went 10.87 129 earlier today but with all those mods and nitrous? not impressive oh and even on an upped shot and better tune car STILL went 1.8 to the 60ft,car is geared all to hell still cant 60ft as good on a drag radial as a 6g on runflats

the GT350R is an n/a 5.2 that has no advantage over the ZL1 other than a set of lighter wheels...it rides on "an inferior chassis" and is down 125hp and 225ft lbs/ft the fact that it is closer to the ZL1 than the SS1LE is to the R is
