If only they had used this tagline
Trailblazer:
The 5.0 that doesn't suck

Nice looking ride, we'll wait around for you to get your next vehicle too.

Michael_Js · 08-04-2010, 06:32 PM

Congrats! Great looking vehicle!

I've been wondering how the results in the 1/4 would change if both cars had 2 people in them? My thinking is that the 6.2 would handle the additional weight of an extra person in the car better than the new 5.0 because of the bigger torque curve. The 5.0 seems to be optimized for a one-person drag race on a smooth track, but while trying to provide a little
driving excitement for a passenger the Camaro should show a relatively negligible slowdown relative to the smaller 5.0. Any comments?

The weight will effect the cars the same way.

A clutch is a part that wears out....so we change a bit early....not a big deal to those of us in the quest for the best ETs!

Only if you can get traction. That is the bane of my 1/4 mile times atm.

Yeah, but I bet you wouldn't trade them for a taller gear! Great gear!

I could. Basic suspension design is, if I had to hazard a guess, about 10% of the handling equation, how well that suspension is setup is the other 90%. Put simply a great live axle setup will absolutely be superior to a mediocre IRS, or even a simply good IRS setup for that matter. Is that what is happening here? I can't really say since there is a meaningful disparity in weight. That said, I do suspect that the Mustang piece is a bit better sorted and that the pony would still win the prize here even if weight were equal.
