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...
