Not going to happen. People who own the Bullitt Mustang from last year were running low 13's to high 12's stock, there is a guy here who ran 12.8@106. If people start jumping on this board with the I beat the new GT with my v6 again like they did with the 99-04 it is just going to make them all look foolish, again.

 

I do believe that mustang had to have something done to it since bullitts only have 315 hp from the factory, no way are they running 12.8 stock. I can see the v6 not keeping up to it, but if a driver doesn't know how to drive, and the v6 driver does, it could be close.

 

The LS1 which had taller gears was able to be well into the 12s a few times too. My car doesn't break the 315hp mark at the flywheel and I run deep 13s. A better suspension would have me into the 12s for sure.

It is not that hard to do and NO the v6 Camaro will not hold a candle even for the 1 year that Ford uses the 3v in the newer body style. v6 to v6 and the Camaro runs away, but nothing more.

 

The LS1 F-cars make more power than the new Bullitts do. Don't doubt you could make a Bullitt run 12's with just suspension and tire, but then it isn't stock anymore.

I personally don't think that V8 Mustangs will have much to worry about from the V6 Camaro except at the very occaisional small stop-light race where driver factor and traction will be more important. 1/4 probably won't be a contest.

That said you could always mod the V6. Sky (and wallet) would be the only limit then.

 

I believe the auto mags - like C&D and MT have gotten 1/4 mile times of low 14's @ 97-100mph for the 5th gen V6 Camaro. And they got in the low 13 sec for the 6 speed manual SS.

 

Thank you... lol I kept reading about it and being a CAR guy. Not a chevy guy, not a ford guy... I didn't know whether to laugh or tell the people they were idiots. I own one of the types of car in question. If your V-6 beats a GT... You probably just beat a badged Mustang V-6. lol But if you run a 1994-1998 GT I may let it slide...

13.2 @ 106 on a 2.0 60... That's my time stock... Stock tires... And I gotta say I'm no pro driver.

All in all? I like the new Camaro. I do think that they are nice cars, V-6 or not. But I don't like ridiculous claims about any car. That would be like me saying I beat a Z06... Could it happen? If he didn't know I was racing it sure as hell could.

But 14.5-14.8 looks pretty good. I'm going to probably be getting one of these cars soon for my girlfriend, she loves them and deserves something nice. Maybe I'll keep it for myself?

 

I guess 14.5-14.8 isn't bad. I'm actually pretty happy with those times

 

Not bad at all, by any means... I would rather have the SS, right now my situation prevents it though grrrrr

 

My 1996 Z28/SS M6 LT1 stock, ran 14.5@98MPH and was rated at 310HP. Others claimed High 13s, but I couldn't get traction to get my 60' down.

That's about where 300HP puts you on most tracks with most drivers. (Some faster, some slower and lots of individual variables).

 

I wouldnt expect any more than a 14.5 out of it. The ls3 guys are having troubles with low 13s at our local track.

 

I wonder what the new 2011 V6 for the Mustang is running stock at a track. Anyone know??

 

I would imagine that it would be running a little faster than the v6 camaros. Albiet a few tenths with the weight difference.

 

96 z28 have 285 stock, but still should cut low low 14s, high 13's
