So they're things that matter less than power?
>>14064638
>implying track is "full of straights"

>Out on the open road, the SS proves it's more than just a straight-line performer. Thanks to wider 275/40ZR-17 Goodyear F1 tires, a stiffer shock/spring package and a larger front anti-roll bar than the standard Camaro, the SS handles exceedingly well for a car considered by many as "low-tech." Overall grip and predictability are good, and after getting over the rather high ride height, you can push the car with an increased degree of confidence.

>At the racetrack, the SS raised more than a few eyebrows. Everyone expected it to rocket down the straights, but it ended up cornering well too — proof that high tech isn't necessarily the only show in town. While it certainly could work better over bumps and through quick transitions, the SS is generally stable, predictable and as such, surprisingly fast.
>>
>>14064682
>implying track is "full of straights"
>implying its not

it has 5 curves, the rest are straights joint together by 90 degree bends

It depends on what you're trying to do. Power only makes you faster in one direction.

>>14064724
yes, it's much faster on the straights than the car with 80 less horsepower. but the s2000 gets it almost entirely back in the few curves on that track.

Bro, do you even into cars? Gearing has a huge factor on acceleration, whether stopped or not. The fact that your car with 80hp less is faster to 60mph shows this. Stay in denial Hondafag.

Don't forget we can always 4.10 rear end.

I just did a ride along in a 2015 Camaro SS. 75mph to 110mph is faster than hell and I already hated my 6 speed turdo 4 cylinder. (it's as fast as an LT1 and yes, that"s the benchmark.)

Where and when can I find an LS1 at the $3,000 mark?
>>
>>14064671

I thought the WS6s handled better than normal F bodies(?)

I don't even want to bait the trolls here, but the displacement tax dick sucks can't accept the fact that the LSx automobiles are geared toward fuel economy and are awesome daily drivers. Blame CAFE but I blame taxation for your collectibe mental illness.

I dont think you undertand

gearing is completly irrelevant because the ws6 accelerates faster

>faster to 60mph

how retarded are you? a ws6 will be faster 60-to 100, and thats usually the speed in most tracks

if you actually belive an s2000 accelerates faster than a ws6 you are incredibly fucking stupid
