Can you fill me in on what the axle ratios are on the SRT vs the Camaro SS?
And I fully agree, with cars that close, it's a driver's race on the streets.
Just as a point of contention, I met up with a new Camaro SS (silver) at the dragstrip a few weeks back (7/1, in fact) on a test'n'tune night. I didn't spank him with my SRT (6 speed), but I DID beat him by .14. He ran a 13.77 @ 106.8, and I ran a 13.63 @ 105.99. He was also running a manual. It was very humid and warm - storms moving in, and the track was hard to get a good launch on. Respectable numbers
for those conditions.
