The comments make me want to gouge my eyes out. Good video though, would have been even closer if 6th gen had the a8.

More than 200lbs. Weighed a friends 3lt z51 (heaviest of all stingrays) and he came in at 3360. I weighed 3700 on the same scale.

Though to swallow those comments but the Camero performed as advertised.

Nice race! About what I expected to being the corvette is much lighter. The Camaro stayed with him pretty good though.

It looked like the initial pull by the Camaro was due to gearing. Never-the-less, that's a decent run. Not sure the Vette could have beaten the Camaro in the 1/8th mile...lol.

The vette being 300 lbs lighter will hurt the Camaro in a 1/8 mile drag fro

The camaro got the jump both times, the vette starts pulling the camaro pretty quickly as it should.
