426 stock I believe. He said that, estimating his mods and what they are SUPPOSED to add, he should be around 450HP??? That is from him and not from me.


Well I have a bone stock SS, 2010 (exact same as the 2011s)

And the car may say 426 hp stock, but in reality that dips down to 355-370 at the wheels. I have beaten a few newer Rams and a couple 5.0 Mustangz, of course I'm comparing all stock for stock races. And the Camaro doesn't struggle against the 5.7 Rams, but the Mustangs are driver races every time.

What I'm getting at is i think that SS may be running 87 octane or the computer is stuck in 87 mode (fixed with a fuse pull) because with mine i easily beat the new Rams. But i still gotta say.. The new Rams are basically bigass Dodge Challengers.

Also, most Camaro mods are literally pointless. Like on there, the Cold Air filter stuff is bologna, and unless he is putting some serious money into an exhaust setup, and maybe a Camshaft, I highly doubt he is 450hp with that stuff.

Cold air kits will maybe add a piddley 5-10hp if that. And exhaust systems are practically pointless on that motor when internally stock. Maybe he is running 380-395rwhp and thats about it if just simple bolt-ons



And yes I am a Turbo+Camshaft supporter. Those are the best things to do to a vehicle in my opinion if you do it right.

Dang! A low 14 sec Ram putting 5 lengths on an LS2 Camaro?!?...Which means he'll be running 15's at the track...Somebody take that Chevy from that guy and get him a Minivan or a Prius! His sports car card has just been pulled. LOL! Nice kill btw :)

LS3 is a manual
L99 if auto. They have less HP

I agree, that dude can't drive very well.

He has a manual trans and, as stated, he spun the hell out of the tires on takeoff lol. He thought he could show out and still pull the W and learned a lesson. Sure, he would beat me 9 out of 10 races. I know that, but.....we have only raced, from a dig, once....and I am 1 of 1! hahahaha

To add to the unexpectedness, I did a 3-honk, 30roll, today against a 2010 Challenger RT.... and we stayed even to the top of 2nd prime... I thought those things trap 103-104 in the quarter? I wouldn't think my mods would be able to do that?

Enjoy that kill bud!!! A lot of skeptics on this thread but i can tell you I took on an SS on the highway and lost, but not nearly as bad as I thought I would. I lost Yes, but was not impressed with that SS.

Not an R/T. The SRT yes

So youre saying I *might* have a chance against an SS?? Given that they blow the launch haha

I always wondered what I could really play with. I know 4.6 GT's Im quicker than. Much more than that I wondered if Id win (and we all know a stockish 4.6 isn't anything to brag about....that's kinda insulting my truck too, isn't it??)

Like a G37, STI and the like would be a decent race...only from a dig I suspect.
