Anyone take down a new SS

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I almost bought one. I was really going to get one when they were doing the cash for clunkers crap. I got turned off of them when all I see is 50+ year old women driving the V6's every where. It is going to be like the IS 300 when they first came out. They are right around $20,000 for a new car...and everyone loves that. I think I have seen maybe 1, or 2 SS on the street since they came out...and probably 50 V6's! I think there are only a handful of thirdgens in my area that look decent and aren't totally ragged out pieces of crap...and only a couple of those are modded at all.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
My ex gf has an 2010 v6 camaro her dad gave her right out of boot camp when she came back, raced her several times, my L98 keeps beating her camaro til 120mph then its game over, she goes on pass me. I have a stock L98 with aftermarket air intake, dual cats, 3 inch magnaflow catback with a cutout. Its pretty fun race actually. anybody that has an l98 should race some these v6 camaros, especially if your starting from a dead stop, the torque on the l98 if hook right, you will murder the camaro til about 80 then they come back, and normally they dont get around me til 120.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
Yeah, I see alot of women driving these muscle cars & most of them probably don't have any real understanding or appreciation for what the car comes from or what it can do. I say ban women from owning muscle/pony cars since most of them can't even drive a regular car/truck right.
Gee, glad to see you have an open mind, my ol' lady, could probably drive circles around you.....

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I hope you read what I said, noticed I said most, not all. But most don't. And I don't know what your lady drives so I can't say anything to that effect but give a woman a cellphone, some make up & jewelry & she'll be occupied with other stuff in a car.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
Haha yah you wouold be suprised, theres a lot of women that can really put the hammer down. I know there are even women on this site.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I could take the 02 T-Bird (and have before) and the Audi I'd be willing to take up on. The Vette, well, those are always faster, we know that. And from the line of work I come from we don't take to kindly to women anyway, just the way it is.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
Yeah, women can do alot of things good, sometimes better than men, but there are more better men drivers than women drivers. That's a fact, but you don't have to take my word for it. And now since you're calling me a name it's open season. The only retard here is you, for thinking I've got my head up my ****. If you don't like what I say or what my opinion is don't respond to it. Simple as that.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I wasn't serious, your car isn't worth my time. It's an open forum, you feel you have the right to make a retarded comment but then whine when people call you out on it.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, as are we. The door swings both ways. If women shouldn't be allowed to drive pony cars then someone with an IQ of less than 10 shouldn't be allowed...looks like you're SOL.
Maybe you were hurt by a woman, maybe you're jealous that some are driving nicer/faster cars than you...who knows...stereotypes can get nasty...I'm sure we could find plenty about you based on the lovely state you live in.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
not really. ive been on a few of the 5thgen boards and the fastest times for stock V6s are in the high 14s (i think it was a 14.7 at 95/96mph). a well driven LB9 5speed can hit that time, and the 350TPI can run into the low 14s stock. then theres the TTA, but that car is in a whole different league than most 3rdgens

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
Ok You not only have an open mind, but you sound you like you work in a transexual boutique! my daughter would whip you in the S4. I am amazed at the thought process or lack of, so to speak, we are witnessing here. I should of let this one be, sorry to the rest of the people on this thread. Yeah, pal come and race my third gen anytime, I'll let my wife drive and hand it to you on a plate....

Pretty close though, those new V6's are pretty healthy.
The V6 version weighs in at 3750 lbs, if that was down to the weight of a V6 3rd gen then there would be no contest.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I had a new Camaro roll up next to me Rev up and when I slowed up a bit he saw the blower sticking up and was confused LOL. So I revved it so he could hear the blower whine and the bark from the 4" he started driving like a old lady and I think his buddy started to laugh at him.I get more guys in cts-v's trying to race me then new Camaros

Well then I feel confident in taking at least the new v6 camaro with my bone stock z28 I run consistent 14.2 @ 98. Guy argued with me at the track because he didnt believe any stock third gen would run that hard....he got so beligerant they kicked him out.

Ive driven way to many 5th gens. Ive driven about 25 SS and 1 v6. I think a 3rd gen could beat a v6. The best SS I have driven has been the callaway camaros.

Re: Anyone take down a new SS
I had a new SS take the move....i rolled out on him. But my car is WAY lighter, deeper gears and a monster cam, so my car rolls out HAAARD from any speed.
