No arguments there. My own car has done it...but the fact is, that's a very rare occurrence not the norm. To say a 12.8 is "right in stock SS territory" is a gross overstatement, as mid 13's are much more common than high 12's.

It won't be long now, GM will come back to the table with a very fast car to compete with Ford and Chrysler. The Mustangs and Challengers being as fast as they are will just make them turn up the power levels even more.....

Agreed. I've yet to see a stock SS break into the 12s at my local tracks. Even some with minor mods couldn't do it.

Its kinda a toss up on why. The manual cars are harder to launch and the auto cars make less power. If the ls3 had an auto behind it high 12's would be the norm. With GM focusing more on performance auto transmissions this shouldn't be a problem with the gen6 camaro.


A 450/450 lt1 with an auto in hopefully a 3600-3700lb camaro would run mid to low 12's with ease. Let's just hope GM doesn't drop the ball and keeps the weight down.

Less weight I hope it would help these cars so much

I think he's referring to the Gen"6" Camaro. When he says he's hoping for less weight. But then again i can't be sure. His lack of punctuation makes it hard to discern what he's saying.

I've seen a couple of Camaro SS dip into the 12.9's at Royal Purple with some good air. I even drove my Pontiac G8 GXP bone stock auto 12.93 with the same air. Maybe those guys weren't members here and didn't know about this site and a place to place their runs.

Right now I have a 2013 auto Mustang GT and my best bone stock time was 12.7 @ 111.

I will be purchasing a new car later this year or early next year, however it won't be a new Mustang. I think the 2013-2014 Mustang GT had a great front end and was very aggressive looking, and I'm not anywhere near being a fan of the Fusion front end on the new Stang.

I've seen plenty of fast G8s. They seem to be as fast as the SS Camaro.
