1969 Dart GT 440 vs. 2010 Camaro SS/RS

STILL, my eyes did NOT lie : 2012 SS (automatic) Camaro ran 14.00 flat at 100 mph 3 runs in a row.

well then beating it shouldn't have been a problem for a 440 abody. if a 440 abody doesn't beat a 14 second car there are serious issues.

like i said but some don't seem to understand. the new cars (camaro,mustang and challenger) were built to do more then one thing well and that they do. they should be beat by a straight line purpose built car.

So, How Fast is It?

The quickest of the new Camaros is the SS model with the automatic gearbox, which sprints to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. While this is 0.2 second better than the more powerful, manual-equipped car’s time of 4.8, the off-the-line advantage quickly fades, with the manual tripping the quarter-mile lights in 13 seconds flat at 111 mph versus the auto’s 13.1 at 109.

thats from car and driver.... now if the dart beat a 13.1 camaro in a straight line like it should then it runs decent.

but, if it only beat a 14 second camaro then it may or may not run decent.

the new muscle cars seem to be all about the driver (like any car really). i've seen pretty much stock challengers go 13.1 in the quarter and others equipped the same way run a 14 second quarter mile. even with traction control you need to know how to drive them.
