Also, I dont think it will take to much to beat the new camaro V6's. Raced my friend and he only beat me about one car length at 100 mph. Now that I have duals and will have a few more mods I'll be lineing up against him again real soon

Although on the performance, it makes it to around 100 before redline (WOT).
if I'm accelerating slower I can stay in lower RPMs all the way up to 120.
Mines an auto but we have 5 gears, but if you turn O/D off it will keep you from going into 5th.

90-100 maybe? I'll check it out sometime. But when I race I usually have O/D off so Im not sure.

Yeah O/D is off by deafault. Maybe I just hit the end of my 4th gear, and always back off the accelerator before I hit that last gear..
in that case, does the car top out at 119 still? Or does it go higher with the tune?

I've had success against Lexus IS250s, what I suspect to have been a base model Chrysler 300 and a late model BMW 3 series (I didn't get the model, but I assume it was the 328 and not the 335)

My mods are 91 performance tune with intake and a single GT takeoff muffler.

i suspect another easy win would be an AUTO RX-8, the Manuals may be more difficult with 230hp, but the torque is sitting at only 159.

As far as the 93 race tune goes, I was using it as a daily driver in bumper to bumper traffic, city and highway 60km a day with no issues feeling like it was too much. I only switched to 91 performance cause gas prices have gone up again and I never got a 91 Race tune.

I am impressed. The new Camaro RS (really sucks, lol) actually slightly beat out the new '11+ 3.7L base 'Stang at a drag strip in a comparison done by Motor Trend. The RS does not independent cam phasing (I think) but it does have Direct Injection, something I sorely wish the 3.7L and Coyote GT 5.0 also had.

If you are beating the new RS, I definitely tip my hat to you.

You can beat up on almost all of the SMART CARS.

Ugh...

MODS please provide a bench racing section for the lazy guys...


To those who bench race...stop guessing, take it to the track, and go get some numbers so you'll know where you stand.
