Another unexpected win... 2010+ Camaro SS
Well.. I finally got to run one and results were unexpected.
He sort of had a slight headstart cus I was sitting at the redlight and he was rolling up on it.. light turned green and I heard him romp on it so I followed suit.
He got about a whole car length ahead as I wound out 1st gear... I grab 2nd and stop his pull... wind out 2nd gear bringing his back bumper to my about my window. Grab 3rd.. its pretty even.. as I grab 4th gear I start walking him verrrrrry slowly. I look over as I put it into 5th and I see 2 guys inside and the passenger is laughing but the driver doesnt look so entertained.
At this point I look down at the speedo and its approaching 130 so I slow down with his front bumper close to my rear bumper.
I guess he felt the race needed to go to 150 or so because he kept going... and going... lol. I wanted to talk to him and try to get an even race but I dont think he wanted any part of it.
Im really loving these Nittos, they make the car alot more enjoyable to drive.
Cant wait to get the Long tubes and Aluminum driveshaft..
And yes I still havnt been to the track yet... out here in El Paso there isnt any good ones (or atleast I dont think). I might drive up to Arizona this weekend and look for one.
Anyways... pretty excited and suprised I beat this SS. Oh and Im pretty sure it was an AUTO because I could hear it shifting as we were racing and it sounded like it.
Right now my 3.7 has some respectable kills under its belt
-300C SRT-8
-Bolt on EVO X
-Challenger R/T
-and now a new Camaro SS
Note-worthy losses
-Nissan Skyline GTR
-C5 Z06
-Supercharged 2003 Mustang GT
-Big Turbo Integra
Cheers

Based on your mods and how I did against a L99 Camaro in my stock 3.7L, this doesn't surprise me too much. The best L99's have trapped stock is 107/108mph. I'd say with your mods, an experienced driver and great track conditions, you should be able match that kind of top end.

your exhaust adds nothing to your performance, not worth saying exhaust or peole will start thinking headers or atleast mid-pipe.
better yet, just call it air filter only. whenever those LS1 "cam only" guys ask me what I have done i'll say air filter only

Working on it! Thank you
Well... I wouldnt go as far to say it does 'nothing' for performance. Just the weight difference from the stock muffler to the Borla was almost shocking. The stock mufflers seemed like a stack of bricks compared... and well the sound makes it all worth it.
Im looking at getting LT Headers an X-pipe soon to compliment the Borla.
