I've seen a guy go 0-60 in 3.8 seconds in the manual

Berry I'm just curious, how old are you??

It's all in the driver. But 9 out of 10 times a auto beats a standard.
Take the same car you have in auto and line them up. It will beat you. It takes the error out of driver error.

A ZL1 maybe. An SS (stock) is a mid-12 second car at best. ZL1 does an 11.4 if memory serves.

What's your guess? Over/under 22?

I want to say under, but he's been on Volnation since 09 so I'm leaning more towards 30...

And stock tires aren't going to cut it either. Slicks will get it there.

I've seen stock SS 6th gen do low 12s consistently on street tires. That's probably its limit until you get into modding.

I would say more like 10 times out of 10 with the new automatics.

Hard to be 8 speed autos with minimal lag time.

Guys on that forum recommend having my rpms at 2500 when launching. Said my car is built for launching so I should be fine

You need to make friends with a good Chevy tech.

If you want to live to see 24, I would suggest thinking hard about attending a Skip Barber (or similar) driving school.

You didn't just buy a 35mm SLR and through the process of trial and error eventually learn to take great pictures.

Ii've always wanted a Mercedes S550

If you can afford the associated maintenance costs, a 10 year old S-class costs less than a new CLA.

......and I want an AMG GTS, but I'm too cheap to buy one.

I looked up skip barber schools and that seems really cool have you experienced It? Think it would be worth it?

 

[Nerd-Vol]

We don't want to see you put your car in a ditch or even worse hurt yourself. A day at an autocross, track day, or racing school would be a great investment.

I always remember what a wise old man told me........"if it's got tits or tires, it can kill you."

That's hilarious hahahaha girlfriend didn't think so though

In a heartbeat.

There's two considerations here. Safety and performance. Both will improve greatly if you have live experience in a seat with someone knowledgeable showing you what to do, what not to do, and how to fix mistakes.

If you just watch videos, read forums, etc...The absolute best case is you break something expensive and they deny the warranty claim. It gets worse from there...Wad up the car, hurt yourself, or God forbid kill someone who's only crime was to be close by when stupidity and horsepower overcame electronic nannies and your perceived ability.
