Took my 3 day old Camaro to the strip yesterday!

Launching this A8 is a walk in the park compared to my old 2010 M6 Camaro! This car is amazing! Here are the slips and videos. I cant wait to see what this thing will do with bolt ons and a converter!

Also, DA at beech bend raceway yesterday was around 1500.

Its amazing to me that people are getting sub 12 second times from the factory with this car.

With a better 60 foot time, you will be a part of that club.

That's what I'm hoping for. Heck just a little better air and I would already be there! Car dead hooked flooring it from an idle on the 12.10 run. The time before that I tried brake torquing it a little off the line and it spun a little.

Close to mine, great progression from your first pass. Good 60ft times and mph.

Few questions what air pressure did you run and did you heat the tires at all? Also whats the milage on your car just curious as it 3 days old and im sure will get faster with some time on it.

Looks like you smoked every car you lined up on!
That's gotta feel nice, what kind of car pulled the 12.7?
oops I see the video, looks like a manual gen 5 SS.

Started out with 35 then after the second pass lowered them to 30. Just did a quick burnout to second gear and rolled out just as I saw smoke. Car has almost 500 miles on it. Going to put a few more miles on it this week and hit up another track Saturday!

Yeah that's my friends 5th gen. Car has bolt ons and a cam. The guy had it dyno tuned locally and the car made big power for the mods (517 horsepower) but his trap speed looks like a 400hp car's. Something is wrong with the tune he says it launches hard then it falls on its face like you close the throttle. I think there are some torque management tables that need tweaking. Going to do some tuning on it and hopefully with some practice he'll be at least mid 11's

You need to have the rear tires at 25? that's where my best launch right off idle.

I'll try that next time. The track was prepped really well though and it dead hooked that run just flooring it off idle. Maybe at 25 I could brake torque it just a hair and launch it a little harder

I ran mine at Beech Bend a few weeks back with similar results. My 12.1 runs were after I installed my CAI. I tried brake torque and my time dropped by 2/10s. Off idle WOT seems to be the best method. My runs were in a 20-25 mph headwind. Great numbers, looking for your 11 ets next time.
