Superb take on racing 21st-century-musclecars with remarkable interviews. Love your attitude, keep it up! And thanks to Island Dragway family for providing the venue.
Take off is key in these suckers, I'm sure you guys can break into the 12's when you master the launches! Beautiful cars and great efforts, obviously not pro drivers but you gotta start somewhere and get your feet wet, great effort guys!! I've had my car for a little while and I want to get to a road course personally but it would be fun to take it to the drags too. SS1-1LE in Wild Cherry Tintcoat, stock.
Love that color! Yea we will have an update on both drivers and these cars in the next few weeks. We have some updated mods and new times! Just have to find time to edit the footage!
Well the guys really need some practice launching.Drag radials would definitely help out.But they look like they were having fun which is the main thing.I really like how the video was shot and edited.Great video!
Thank you. Appreciate the love. The blue one was back at the track with Radials in a later video. White one has some mods for this coming season and some more XP
Is it colder out there and that’s why you guys are spinning like crazy? I’m in Florida and I have a manual 2021 lt1 and ran a 12.4 at 114. Just wondering if the cold weather made a difference?
@@1dumpedviper Wheel sizes and offsets should be 20x11 ET43 rear and 20x10 ET20 front (305/30R20 rear and 285/30R20 front) Note: If you deviate from the 30 aspect ratio and go 35 or bigger, or wider tires, you will need to relocate the wire harness on the driver side rear wheel well
Man, i have a 2023 2SS A10 and did the 1/4 mile in 12.2, my worst time was 12.7. the only thing done to the car was the wheels. i put NITTO 555 D2, 285 front and 305 rear. engine full stock. No tune, no air down tires (did not know that) did not use launch control, i did old school just hold the break, press the gas at 2000 rpm and launch, did it in sport mode with only the traction control off (competitive mode still OFF). i think the SS can hit the 11.8 or 11.9 with better traction and a good driver, am not that good, but i have some fun!
We have a new video inbound with some better times but I think there are a few random factors like air temp and track prep that probably affect the times a bit.
My pet peeve,most ALL cars in this range and up should come from the factory running mid 11's. SS Cars,11.00 flat,ZL1's,10.00 out of the box.It's ridiculous for what we pay for something you have to dump another 10k in to cut a second.
What is the temperature at the track the day you were racing and what fuel are you running. Like somebody else commented these cars should be a lot faster and you just going to practice your lunch I never did use launch control. Check out some of our runs on our Channel
@@wakamotorsports I plan on going to the strip this summer myself, be my first time. Not sure what to expect, but if the in car gauge is accurate, I did a 1/4 mile run on the street 12.7. 67 degrees F at the time on mildly uneven road. I actually let off the gas on the 3rd shift I was concerned I was driving to fast for the condition of the road. I was obviously disappointed because my car is modified, but I try to tell myself I've never done a 1/4 mile run before then. I am hoping track conditions are better. I do practice 0-60 runs a lot though. And I do it with all TC off and without Launch Control like Jhan. I don't trust launch control... yet. Hopefully, my first track experience isn't to disappointing! My intention is to go into this trying to learn to launch properly, that is my only goal. Not trying to break any records, just learn and have fun.
@@sagtastic0138 not necessarily true. The hell cat is too powerful and won’t get good consistent traction same for the Shelby and the Camaro. Launch control is good for consistency. The automatics will do well with or without it. In a match up between the hellcat no traction control or at least not very good TC and the corvette with TC the vet won the 1/4 mile, kicked the hellcats butt.
Newbs, lol. Gotta learn to warm street tirez and lower the prezsure to about 29psi then try 27, or 26. Light wisps of smoke. And dont do launch control guys thats for a car with drag tires or slicks and actuslky makes the cars slower. Also dont use paddles for shifting in tge suto. I know you boys have a lot to learn but thats psrt of the fum. Be careful. Any minor bum will trigger sensors buolt in toin star and log your location. Dealer will see you were at a track and not work on whats broken if its related.
Noobs warm their street tires. Don't do that. They get gr easy. Deflate to around 26 psi or so .Go around the water box and do some quick hits to clean off the tires. Then stage.
@@matt6951 lol yea these times were with rookie drivers. I have footage of their updated times from the fall but it wasn’t good enough quality for an updated video. We should be hitting the track soon and I’m sure they will get a chance at some redemption. Lol
WTF ARE YOU DOING? THESE CARS are not 392’s or hellcats or 5.0’s! TAKE THEM to a REAL TRACK! One with turns, twist, curves & bends! That’s where these cats shine! Not some boring ass straight away! 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂🥂🙇🏽♂️ Sincerely from a 2020 2SS owner! 😂🥂
@Belgrave Wallace no. Every track is different but we don’t get any insurance when we run our cars. Weather or not you should is a totally different topic lol

Thank you and yes, we love the Island Dragway team!
Just practice these cars are good for mid to low 12s stock
Hoping for some better results this week 🤞🏼
@@wakamotorsports you’ll get it. I got a 12.2 with my 6 speed stock
I did have drag radials but no seat time
LOOK AT ALL THOSE SHEEP WEARING MASKS LOL
Lol 🐑
I love the white SS.
Just seeing this. None of these guys can drive worth a damn.
Thanks Dave.

Amazing how most town drag strips are setup the same way....right down to the guy working there who is always sitting around on his 4 wheeler .
🤣
Jesus Christ. They're 11.9-12.1 cars bone stock. Like literally bone stock. 5k in mods and its over a second slower.
Lmao. Yep. I’m their defense it was their first time at the the track. I think when we get back there this summer the times will be greatly improved.

It does for sure. Harder to heat the tires and get grip when the temps drop.
i live in pa and i dont even take my camaro out unless its above 45 degrees even cold dry roads it spins like on ice with an all season tire
@@sdmc1972 I hear that.
cold weather is faster
Brutal 60 foot times.
Let me get your specs for your wheels trying to get a nice clean set up like yours for my lt1 thanks!
They are the Camaro 1LE wheels from the 6th Gen Camaro.
@@wakamotorsports Do you know what size tire the blue LTI is running on the 1LE Wheel?

What headlights are on that lt1
All stock
You can buy the lt1 with the rs package so it gives you the camaro ss 2019+ headlight and taillights
Those aren’t the RS package headlights
Get that blue car to launch and 60fts around high 1.8's st its a solid 12.3 at 117-118. Should be a high 11 sec car but hey.
We’re heading back to the track this week for an updated video. Hopefully they are able to get these times down.
People were saying you guys were going to run some SUPRAs ? That would be awesome!!!!
Would love to. We will have to see this summer.

The temp was in the upper 70’s. The blue Camaro is on E85 and white is 93 (untuned). Both drivers are a bit new to drag racing.
@@wakamotorsports temp's not bad I know the cooler it is the better these cars work but then you have trouble getting them to hook
@@ltxmotorsports2943 yea that was an issue as the day went on. Launching them is always going to be the tough part.

I will apologies for hurt feelings right now. I own a 2023 Camaro 2SS it is bone stock. It runs 12.07 1/4 stock tires as well.
Amazing! Did you air down the tire pressure? What track did you run at?
@@wakamotorsports you should know better, racers never give away their secrets.
@@bettyg7710 lol touché.
The cars would have been faster if the traction control was turned off and properly launched.
@@sagtastic0138 not necessarily true. The hell cat is too powerful and won’t get good consistent traction same for the Shelby and the Camaro. Launch control is good for consistency. The automatics will do well with or without it.

lol, 109 mph trap speed in Good DA and Decent weather? That's a lemon.
lol
CAI's are useless on most domestic muscle unless theres a turbo system or SC'r.. I've been down this path since 1995.
Are these babies reliable I’m ready to buy one hehe
Very. Both of these cars have been modded and been racing multiple times and they have been solid in terms of reliability.
@@wakamotorsports thanks man!
first time at the drag and he was launching with 1 finger on the wheel lol
lol a noob indeed

Why that long thing hanging from the mirror? Distracting as hell.
Yea I agree, it’s very distracting. But he seems to like it.
Tbe LT1 model is loaded so its basically a 1.5SS. A base LT1 woukd be 200+ lbs lighter.
Also good info! That LT1 car should be in the 12’s for sure
Man, what was the DA? Those cars are brutally underperforming.
DA?
