Chevy Camaro SS '10 Challenge!

[Mikeybc]

I did 15 laps at route x today! None were the car I even wanted to do

5 on my srt8 tc, 5 on my g37 and 5 on my x2 pulling a 512bb (got the little thing to go up to about 320 but could've gotten faster if he had a longer transmission)

I just started recently going some breaking in at route X. Looks weird to see slower cars drafting a Veyron doing 320 mph. Was passed once doing 320 in my zr1 by an HPA golf doing around 324 drafting an Enzo or Veyron, kinda shocked me.

@karo. Your doing timed full throttle right ?

Ya, i launch it in 1st gear quick shift to 2nd

LOL way to go

This method is the fastest but it is the hardest to pull off and understand.

Yeah ok, me too, just not timed , That thing is kinda like shifting the samba bus with a mid-turbo, hates to be revved out.

Guess I'll keep trying the timed method till I get it lol

Ya what ever your top speed is seems fine. Stretch 2nd all the way to the left. Set the rest of the gears as well if it gets messing.
For launching in 1st its hard ya, but doable. If your having a hard time launch it at a lower RPM like 4000-5000rpm then as soon as it gets going shift to 2nd. Its gona bog but we want that lol

And you have to make sure your first gear is all the way left too otherwise it will not work.

Ya well i expected he knew that lol

Would like to drop in and say, I came across the SLR McLaren '03 in the UCD and decided to grab it and test it against its '09 sister with the 19inch wheels. The car has the same power, but without being able to make a carbon hood, adds about however many extra KG's that is. I want to say it weighs 1333kg compared to the 1328kg or so of the '09. 10 minutes of tuning and I've got her down to a 9.187s compared to my current 9.180 on the '09. Not bad for a car 6 years older

It's like the Aston Martin DB9 '03 and the DB9 '06. Both are same, but I'm guessing that the weight may be a few KG's more because of like you said, the carbon fiber hood.

I got 9.165 so far. 👍

Nice keep going 👍

👍 Good work kenny! Keep at it

Nice keep going 👍

Maybe tomorrow. I was working on it for the longest not realising I hadn't done any weight reduction. I feel better now though. I'm at least somewhat close. 👍

thats happens to me too with the Enzo!

 

[DavidtheGT20]

I'm gonna get one and see what I can do about it, my launch physics are something not to be seen

Sounds dangerous.

 

[fest0r]

*checks if life insurance policy covers death by "launch physics"

 

[c-losk]

Lol, got mine at 9.186 not bad after 20 minutes, lets see if can better that.

 

[DavidtheGT20]

Oh man, launch physics are messed up now!!

 

[Mikeybc]

Did you find and change something in the 4th dimension to mess physics up ??

 

[DavidtheGT20]

No, good guess though

 

[cstevens]

i got mine down to a 9.168 but i don't know how to "short-shift". This car is fun to tune though

 

[DavidtheGT20]

Short gears and shift quickly?

 

[Mikeybc]

Short shifting is shifting at a lower rpm and not winding the engine out to redline....shifting early

 

[cstevens]

i tried to do that it's just not working for me

You may need to tighten your gears up then. Are you getting lag when you shift?

I think I'm getting lag... Do you mean where your car kind of jumps when you shift? Like the shift not being smooth? I've tried doing the short shift over and over it just makes me extremely slow? My 1st and second gear are all the way to the left, i left 3rd alone 5th is max to the right and 4th is pretty lol.

Exactly. You need to space them closer together when this happens. Just move 2nd closer to 1st and the same for any other gears you're having the issue with. 👍

ill have to try this later thanks for the tip
