I took my new Camaro to the dragstrip over the weekend, here in Houston. Figured you hotrodders might like to know how it went.

Details:

2010 Camaro SS/RS (2SS) Link to pics (http://www.planetlsx.com/news/Planet_LSX__Project__Camaro/78)
6-speed manual
100% showroom stock down to the 37 psi air in the rear tires.
I mean 100% stock. No weight removed, as-purchased. Stock tune.
1,200 miles on the car (2 weeks old)
4,045 lbs raceweight (half tank, and I'm 190 lbs)
Holding RPM between 3500-4000 and slipping clutch out on launch.
Powershifting (no lifting throttle between shifts) at red line (6K-6.2K)
Coolant temps 212-218F
Density Altitude was +2,301 ft (it was 96F earlier that day, 88F for these passes)

Three consecutive passes (hot lapped):

13.256 @ 108.43 (2.098 60')
13.194 @ 109.62 (2.128 60')
13.070 @ 109.07 (2.057 60')

Videos will be posted later.

If I can just get a 1.9X 60' time, it will go 12s in the heat. Imagine what it would run in negative density altitude! Probably 12.70s...

I know. But, wouldn't it be fun to be the first 12s 100% stock at an actual track? LOL. 1998 all over again?

thanks for sharing man, that's good to see those numbers. I'd say that's decent MPH for the altitude and heat.

Good numbers for the conditions. 12's are in easy reach without any major mods.

I think Speed Inc has run a 12.9 already :). Great numbers, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Speed Inc had a custom tune in their car. It went 12.93. The tunes do quite a bit on the LS3, a local car has already gone 12.50 with a tune and filter.
