  • Decided to see what my new 6th gen Camaro could do. Car is a fully loaded SS (minus mag ride) with the A8 automatic transmisson, running on stock Goodyear tires. DA was 2100 to start and fell to 1300 at Gateway Motorsports Park. SUBSCRIBE for much more 6th gen content!

    Reaction time only matters if your trying to beat the guy in the other lane.

  • @MrDefining
    @MrDefining 7 лет назад +91

    Why is everyone so hung up on his reaction time?! The timer doesn't start until the car moves. He can sit at the light for 10 minutes and still get the same 12 sec 1/4 mile times

    • @97336cf
      @97336cf 7 лет назад

      Bushwacker 702 density altitude. It's a curve that accounts for weather, humidity, elevation etc. if you run a 15.6 at a humid, hot, mountain level dragstrip, then on an ideal 60 degree, dry, and sea level drag strip you would run a 14.9 or so

    • @MasterCarguy44-pk2dq
      @MasterCarguy44-pk2dq 7 лет назад

      If elevation is under 800 ft, every 1000 ft of DA above sealevel will add .3-.4 tenths to the time and drop about 2 mph. If the DA gets to 5200 ft, a mile high, the times will be a full 2 sec more/longer and upto 8-10 mph slower in speed.

    • @talkditingsdem5799
      @talkditingsdem5799 7 лет назад

      Adren Fernandez​ faster in a 1/4 mile, but in real life cars go further than a 1/4 mile. Trap speed proves that, just like Telsa's, they are quicker to a 1/4 mile but after that it will get walked. So for you to say a car is faster is kinda subjective, if you are referring to a distance at which the car is quicker to. A camaro ss vs bmw m4 trap speeds, shows the m4 would be faster than the Ss in a mile race, so why would a magazine say the Ss is faster in a straight line, it might be faster to a 1/4 mile.

    • @adrenfernandez1154
      @adrenfernandez1154 7 лет назад

      It outran a manual mustang by .3 sec at the same MPH. I'd venture to guess an auto mustang would be a good match.

    • @deadeyedickification
      @deadeyedickification 8 лет назад

      +Mike Boss The one time they ran close was when the Camaro spun out of the hole. The auto and manual Mustangs run almost identical times.

    • @mikebosshard
      @mikebosshard 8 лет назад

      +Deadeyedickification it ran about the same exact time the first run against it as it did the 2nd. It wasnt spinning bad enough to really make a difference. I'd say less than half a second difference at the same MPH is a pretty fair match. Every run ive seen between the two stock cars, the camaro has the slightest edge. I wouldn't go as far as to say they arent competition though.

      Just a guess, but maybe he was more concerned with getting his launch right then his R/T since R/T has zero impact on the 1/4 mile time.

    Since when does sports cars weight 4,000+ lbs? Thats only less than 400lbs than my Audi s8, which is a saloon. Please someone explain to me why are American cars so heavy? I would never buy a sports car that weight more than most mid size sedans, what difference does it make how fast it goes in a straight line if its not nimble and agile like a sports car should be, because a s8 is heavier than this and run a 11.3-11.6 in a 1/4 mile consistently. What is American car makers trying to achieve?

    • @apsreen5027
      @apsreen5027 7 лет назад

      Talkditings dem low cost and efficiency. ..u can actually buy three of these American muscle cars in different colors compared to one s8 and still have spare change to buy extra set of tires for drag ...
      so my bet is on American cars...

    • @talkditingsdem5799
      @talkditingsdem5799 7 лет назад

      Aps Reen​ so money is always the reason for most Americans. Don't you think if a person have the money to afford a luxury saloon then he have the option to afford any American muscle car, you don't get any of the options,luxury,refinement and performance from an American car, than you do from an Euro luxury saloon, so you are paying for what you get. Besides nothing you said have anything to do with my comment or question. Yeah you can buy 3 American cars for the price of my s8, but you don't get nothing the s8 offers from them 3 American cars and that is why people that can afford to do so, won't buy an American car.

      A fully loaded camaro actually weighs 3900lb +/_ and I did a little research and the Audi S8 weighs 4700lb, it's a little more than 400 bud. now despite the big weight difference, an S8 has over 600HP as compared to 455 with the Camaro so that's why there's a 1 second difference on the track. Now if you want to talk about American sedans with over 600HP and still weigh less than the Audi, we got the Charger Hellcat, 4600lb, running high 10s consistently. Only things missing are some interior luxuries, but how can you complain when you get that for under 65k as opposed to 120k right? All in all, Audis are one hell of a car, it love to own one myself, but I'm young, and a roaring V8 calls my attention for now.

    • @alangonzalez9821
      @alangonzalez9821 7 лет назад +3

      And about nimble and agile, let's just say the 45k Camaro SS 1LE, is beating Porsches and BMWs that cost wayyyy and above that 45k mark. ZL1 is beating Lambos, Mercedes AMGs and other high end cars.

Youre forgetting your comparing 6-2 vs 5-0 litre so pound for pound the Mustang is badass. Im actually buying and picking up my 2017 1SS next week and lm hoping lll be able to handle all the wannabe gearhead Chevy owners that that are brand specific loyal that dont know or understand the first thing about cars.Guess lll have to install an inexperienced dumbass millenial warning approaching beeper.

    No offense but why are all you testers so slow on the tree? Those reaction times would never even come close to wiinning one round in a bracket race. One time you got beat by a car that was 3 tenths slower in ET. Pitiful. Most bracket racers where I live are consistenty postng less than .050 reaction times on every race. some even hit perfect .000 lights sometimes.

    455hp and 455tq and the gt is not far off, wtf. I hope ford doesn't up the cubic inches or I will regret leaning towards the ss, the rear end is already making me lean that way. they spent all the time and money making it fast but spend what appears no time making the rear look good. 5.2l ford voodoo motor making 526hp na makes me wonder what Chevy is going to do if ford goes with more liters in the base gt car. make it miata size maybe in the name of saving weight?
