skinville Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hey folks what's going on. I'm new to the forum. Just thought I'd ring in on this topic. Getting back to the SS 1/4 mile time, did anybody see the Car and Driver test on the SS? It did a 14.8 @90. I thought that time was incredible for a stock SS. I found that if your a reasonable driver you should be able to beat the times in the magazines, just because they are testing the cars with a full tank of gas and test equipment. Has anyone run there SS. I can't wait to get mine it is being built the week of 5/19. I live in the northeast and we seem to have a real fast track as I ran a 12.96 @ 110.67 in my vette, Car and Driver tested the car at a 13.1 @111. It is a stock 03 vert mn6. I did power shift through the gears. My 60' foot time was respectable for runflat tires (2.08). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme4x4 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 They may have tested a ringer, as the general consensus on here is that the stock SS will run 15.2-15.3 in the quarter. However, every make will have a few that make it out of the factory particularly strong. What a coincidence it would be for a magazine to get one of them. You have to remember though, that short of atmospheric conditions and elevation, the SS should have very consistant times. There is no drama, and very little skill to driving a auto trans 5000lb truck down the track (especially one with AWD). Foot off of brake......... floor it. This is nothing against you guys of course........ I wish my L was that easy to drive at the track. It was about the same when I would take my '94 Lightning to the track (runs very similar times stock, to the SS). I absolutally loved it compared to my 5-speed '91GT. For someone who doesn't go to the track all the time, the stick car was a real challange. 1/4 mile times could easily vary by more than a second depending on how good I did shifting. The Lightning was a very pleasant departure from that. I could have read a book while driving down the quarter. This is part of the reason why you will see widely varying times for stick cars in different magazines. The new SRT-10 truck with the 6-speed should be a real bear to drive well at the track. Now, the '01 Lightning is similar........ however, due to the tremendous torque right off idle...... wheelspin can be a real problem. This is something you SS guys don't have to worry about. For that, I envy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 It is possible the tested SS has been well broken in. I don't know if it would make enough difference to account for the difference in track times, but I have heard that you don't get full power and economy out of a motor till it has some miles on it. Most of us here are still pretty low on miles. I am at about 3K, Jwest is probably a bit higher by now, but 10 -15k is still a ways away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Mervz Posted May 15, 2003 Admin Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 11 Seconds in a stock z06? Yeh right, the best time chevys very own pro driver has gotten out of the 2002 z06 (405hp) was a 12.3 and that was making clutchless upshifts. 11's wouldnt be impossible to reach at all with some mods, but tottally stuck it isn't happing. Yes, its really true. I've seen a Z06 with only a K&N and 160 thermo go 11.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
