lol thanks. I'm house shopping now so no big purchases until after that, but I am thinking 67ish resto mod Chevelle. Otherwise, NFC. Too many fast cars out there, but want something uncommon whether it's the car itself and/or the color. Also kicking around the idea of just ditching the Jetta and maybe also MS6 & getting a WK2 SRT8 GC & another Miata & calling it a day.
Haven't seen Evan's 2018 GT bone stock A10 pass posted yet?

They will go faster. The car just came out.
Out of the handful of runs that have come out they are, for the most part, at the top of the fastest runs that the 6g has ever made.
The fastest time so far was a good driver in a positive DA with a very loaded car ($54k!!). A more base car with 3.55s and the forged wheels will be quicker, assuming they have decent air and can drive.
Evan ran the 18GT like a freakin bracket car that day SO it wasn't a hero run. He also went 11.86/119, 11.89/118.80 as well as an 11.94/119 very first pass down track with higher air pressure in the rear. The 11.8's were on 26 psi.
He is pretending to be a 6g camaro owner from Camaro6.
Thats great that they have ran that fast. It keeps chevy on their toes and keeps us getting faster cars.
The one 18 I saw in person looked decent, but not enough to sway me from going with a ZL1 after my wife tires of her SS
OMG there it is the car is highly modified! 26psi in the tires is not stock in any way shape or form since its not how it comes from the factory and gives you a performance advantage. This car belongs in the same category as full bolt on mustangs. I can't believe anybody would have the nerve to argue this is a stock mustang.
Lmao. I have a 5th gen and cant stand camaro5 or camaro6
Well played sir.
That was about as stupid as saying no matter what car you buy straight from a dealer with a resting cold psi from sitting around is as stock as it comes then buying it and drive off the lot to the track never touching it and claiming its no longer stock because the tires got hot on the way there and the psi changed.
Oh I completely agree to that. I was just looking at both sides of the situation. A mod is a mod and your point is one of my points, just more detailed. The exhaust analogy is perfect. Some others would be wheel size, size of turbos, type of intake, cooling system for supercharged cars, boost level the car can take... All of that stuff can be changed from the factory setup and all helps in performance.
It's a slippery slope once you start counting certain mods as not being in fact mods. Anything changed from factory stock is indeed modding the car. It is what it is, nothing more. If you are changing something from factory specs, you are indeed changing the car's setup. It's cut and dry for me but I can see how some think there is grey area there.

Yeah, it's a minimal change, but a change nonetheless. It's good to know that detail for all involved because it's indeed a change. Again, a very small, minuscule one but still changing the traction level though.

"Nothing goes over my head, I am too fast I would catch it."
If you change the brand of DOT RADIAL I could care less and would consider it stock at the dragstrip, a stiff sidewalled drag radial, bias ply drag radial or full slick is a different story. Of course there are some exceptions like the R888, I'd consider that an advantage tire aired down to 20 lbs.
You CAN'T be Serious dude? He trapped the same mph and only improved .06 in the 60 foot. Evan said he felt 26 was the sweetspot leaving the line on oem radials. those 11.8's are from a STOCK 18GT!

Serious about what? The man changed the level of air in his tire. I called it a change and nothing more. He could have also slapped a Rainbow Bright sticker on the bumper of the Mustang on one run and ripped it off for the next...that would be a change too....weight savings. =D
It's a stock car but with tweaked air pressure. Who cares?
Wait, wait, never mind I just discovered I joined the Camaro5 forum back in 2012 and just forgot about it. It must have carried over to Camaro6.

stang910's post was a sarcastic joke and you then say "Hey that's a tweek/Mod!" GTF out of here with that lameness, is that what the douches on the Chevy forum are saying too?
I'm saying it's something that is changed. Is it not? Who cares what it's considered? It's just a simple fact. If it helped him get a faster time, it's good to know about it. Nothing more. I like to know how people are running the best times. I'm not making a point saying it's a huge mod or anything of the sort. I'm stating it's a change.
I've not seen any from Chevy guys making a big stink about the tire pressure. I don't think anyone would really. It's not like he added a blower on the car.
And yes, 910's post was sarcasm. It was a funny post and very accurate.

My sentiments exactly, we sure have some pedantic twats in this thread. My comment isn’t directed at anyone in particular, just an observation of several comments.
