Uh oh.... 1/4 mile and 0-60 times for new camaro
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=129496
3.6-liter V6
zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds regardless of transmission choice
V6 coupe quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds with an auto and 14.7 seconds with a manual, both at 97 mph
the V8-equipped Camaro SS outfitted with the 422-hp 6.2-liter LS3 V8 six-speed manual hits 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and runs a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 108 mph according to Oppenheiser. Strangely enough, Oppenheiser also claims that the automatic-equipped SS Camaro, which is rated at 400 hp, runs from zero to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds.
OUCH!

Pretty good for not actually having a car to drive.

Yeah right? Whats the deal I always thought that if you could drive stick very well youd only be a hair slower than an automatic counterpart.

if you drive a stick very well, you'll be quicker than an automatic counterpart. Autos rob power, manuals are meant to be beaten

even with firmer/quicker shifts, by design the auto loses power over a manual. it's like a manual with the clutch engaged to some degree all of the time.

GMHTP got a ls1 4th gen into the 12's with less power, I dont see why they wouldnt be able to knock off a high 12 with this car. if all else fails, let j0n drive it

We all know it is a tune away from 12s - just like the G8.
The last part of the article caught my attention:
Both versions of the V8 Camaro SS pull a maximum 0.90 g on the skid pad. Four-piston Brembo brakes help stop the Camaro SS in 117 feet.
What this means to you: If Chevrolet's numbers pan out, the Camaro SS will be every bit as fast as the Dodge Challenger SRT8 for a lot less money. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor

I'm not getting mad yet until A) More tests are done and B) It hits the track driven by every day people.
I'm still disappointed with it's weight. I still hate the interior lol
