I'm sure there are fast SS Camaros out there, but a "lightly modded" one will probably not do well against a 5.0.
You ran high 7's at 90 mph stock?

Well, with 20" drag radials, although my 60s aren't anything to write home about.

Mine is car 94. Car 72 is a GT500 on the same tires

There are three columns of my runs. I had him until I lowered his air pressure and coached him on the burnout. It was a 2013 convertible btw.

I was talking about your car being in high 7's and at 90 mph.

Back to the thread, a stock C6 is a good run and so is a C5Z.
