Most stock SS's are running 13.3 average in the 1/4 with a one off high 12 here and there.
.4 tenths is a pretty good distance at the end of a 1/4 mile.
111MPH = 162.8 feet per second
.4 = ~65feet
2010 Camaro is roughly 15 feet in length.
About 4 car lengths by the end of the track given identical conditions and optimal driving. That is a pretty good spanking in my book.
This is comparing a 13.3 to a 12.9. |
Not to get between ya'll magazine spec race, but you seem to be misrepresenting the Camaro SS performance. The Camaro performance according to Gm is 0-60 in 4.6 and 1/4 mile in 12.9 @ 111mph. Thats is accurate from what have been seen (especialy now that camaros are being broken in properly). Honestly I have seen 03 Cobras make 1/4 mile runs of High 13's and low 14's BUT I would not say that is represenative of what the car is capable of. Alot have to do with driver skill. That goes for the Camaro aswell, thats the only issue I have with your post I quoted.
