This is nothing against you UltraZ as it just confirms how horrible all our 60ft times truely are. I am even seeing drag radial cars with trailing arms that cant break a 1.7 60ft  . Come on guys this is NOT acceptable and is why the GT can run away from us at the drag strip. Is it the height of the tires? the wheels? the irs? the weight? We need to figure it out otherwise we will never be competitive at the strip. I have seen base Corvettes get 1.7 60fts on street tires with a stock car and suspension for crying out loud so I bet its not the IRS. |
It's just heavier than the GT and older 4th gen's. That is the main reason... Lower the weight of the Camaro and its 0-60 times would improve. That is why the lighter 4th gen's still pose a threat at the track with some light mods that bring up the HP to 350 ish and they win against a stock SS.
