I know what's wrong with mine, I'm a pussy. I just can't bring myself to abuse the 30k mile clutch in my daily driver with some gnarly flat-footed launches. But I do have some RaceStars now, guess I just need to do the clutch over the winter.

Let me know if you go to the track, I can meet up and see if we can get those 60s to improve.

It's not close... it's there. lol

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

I'm sure there are fast SS Camaros out there, but a "lightly modded" one will probably not do well against a 5.0.
2 buses? I still dont believe it... 2 cars maybe.

My stock ls1 keeps up with stock 5.0s, and there is NO way I put 2 buses on any new Camaro... unless the Camaro let out the instant the Mustang started pulling away, which is more than likely what happened.

I walked away from the one that was revving on me a few weeks ago too. Maybe they're all bad drivers.

2 buses? Yep. I'm not the guy that sits here and exaggerates races.

If I read your quote right, you claimed to "keep up with stock 5.0's"...first off,"keeping up" with a STOCK 5.0 is a lot different than putting 2 buses on a lightly modded 10+ Camaro. A stock Camaro can't really keep up too well with a new 5.0 much less a modded 5.0.

I could blame it on a shitty driver or a slow car, either way he was deep in my rear view.

Did you read the part of the mirror that say "vehicles may be closer than they appear".

Dark Pony, yes, I said I keep up with them as in door to door racing to top speed for a stock 5.0. And I know I can't put 2 busses on a new Camaro (no I haven't run one, but 2 busses is a long ways)...
