May have just picked up a turd. Sad but ALL car makes have them. Back in the day the GM 2.8 only had 120HP but some would put down 120+ to the wheels others about 75!
Never seen a A8 not walk all over and away from a stock 5.0 |

From a roll or standstill? Not a single issue here making those kills.

Do you have a dyno anywhere near you? See if they've tested other 6th gens and run your's to see if you are putting down comparable power.
That or take it into the dealership.

So you drive over 5 hrs from Houston, to the nearest point of entry to Mexico, to get whipped by dodges and 5.0's??

Also fill up with good 93 and make sure the car isn't pulling timing. Take it to a dyno.

I have been out-trapping and beating the 5.0's and SRT8's handily at the track when I was stock. Are you going from about a 40 roll or 50? These autos have a bit of a lag when you don't roll from a good shifting point. Easy to lose to cars that are quite powerful like the 5.0's and SRT8's.

Ok so after 8k miles your car is broken in. Like the poster below my original post make sure you are using premium fuel. Also use track/competition mode. Never assume any 5.0 is stock either anyone who has one and wants to race gen 6 camaro probably has a tune at the least.
