Are you guys who are at 650+whp able to get traction at speeds under 60mph? Do you need to upgrade other components or change tires to put down that kind of power? I want to be sure that if I spend the $$ to add 100more whp that it will actually be usable on the street.
I'm spoiled by my rs3 and Tesla that I can floor at any speed in any condition and still not worry about sliding all over the road. I know that can be fun, too, but not when you're trying to keep up with the stock 5.0 next to you who thinks he is faster (yes, that has happened already in the zl1 ) I sat there and spun at 40mph and he was gone

No question has been asked and answered at camaro6 more than this one, except perhaps "which oil should I use?"

Thanks. Still learning how to live with this power level and rwd. When I was up against that 5.0, we were both taking off from the light a little harder than normal, and then at some point soon after, he gunned it, so I did too, and that was it for me. Prior to this zl1, my really high HP cars were awd, with the exception of other Camaros, mustangs, and Corvettes - but all were the ones in the 400hp range (c6, c7, GTs, SSs, z28s) - those were manageable at that power level, especially if it wasn't too cold out.

Yep, roll into it and take it easy if the tires or the weather are cool. No issues once everything is warmed up. I'm running the stock SC3 tires.

Believe those are SC3’s…great in the corners but only good for sending smoke signals in terms of straight line performance.

lol that sucks. I don't hit corners hard, I just like to accelerate quickly. Guess I need to start thinking about some new tires. I thought they only put the super handling tires on the 1LEs. It seems almost negligent to give every idiot out there with $70k a 650hp car that can't go straight

You'll think it's a different car with a tire swap. More traction, and less rocks thrown. Those sc3's are great when they are at track temp, but SUCK on the road.

Question for you and Rob, then. I'm hesitant to run actual drag radials for around town driving. What is a good compromise - more traction than stock but that is still closer to a street tire?

I’ve found the R888R traction to be superior to the SC3 but the tire noise is definitely louder than stock for sure. At my power level, it is what it is if I want any semblance of traction on the street with great high speed stability and great handling.
