Good kill. Not surprised by the results, I think you might remember I lost to one of these when my car was bone stock by only a car up to 100. Here's the link: https://mustangforums.com/forum/stre...11-camaro.html

Your car traps 102 and you were pulling on a 400 hp Camaro from a roll?
Was he pulling a boat?

Good kill. I can see you out driving one, especially if you never broke 100.


I actually drove my friends SS today and he has an auto. The car feels heavy and has almost bad visibility. The interior is nice and big and can actually fit 4 adults. The flappy paddles felt a little slow, it had to think for a second before it would shift. It still doesn't feel like a Camaro to me, it would have been an awesome sports car for Cadillac.

105 trap out of a 400hp lsx vehicle? Its a sad day. My car was trapping 108mph stock 11 years ago lol

Never thought i would see a V6 mustang put up those numbers! My how far we have come.

His car trapped 102+ on his best pass that day running into a 15-25 MPH headwind.

My '11 V6 has trapped 106+ and his is modded identical to mine except that I have an aluminum driveshaft. His car should be a soild 105 MPH car on a day when the winds are calm.

That 400 HP Camaro is dragging around 4,000 pounds of weight, the '11+ V6 Mustangs are around 3,400 pounds.

Yeah it's Chevy's new attempt at a land/sea vehicle. sadly the Camaro didn't quite work well for either of them....

I have never been in a new one, but a buddy of mine took one out and said exactly the same thing about the visibility
