I raced two Camaro SSs Saturday at the Texas Motorplex. The first one beat
me 15.023 to my 15.568. I had him at half track though. The second I beat at
the tree. My 15.276 beat his 15.125.
It can be done, but it depends on the Camaro drivers inexperience or lack of
traction. I'm not all that experienced myself either, but that's what
happened.

Subject: Re: DML: Re: Camaro vs. Dak
You will need to get serious ($$$) about how fast you want to go. Are you
looking at 1/4 mile speed? Your gonna have to get the DAK in the mid to high
90's to take him. And heaven forbid you are looking for more top end. Not a
good thing to do in a pickup.
I've got both, a 93 Z28 and a 99 R/T. The Z will run close to 150 flat out
so
forget that. The Dak really tries hard off the line and surprisingly it
stays
at the Z's back quarter for about 30 feet but there is just to much weight
in
the DAK vs. the Z. Once the Z hooks up it's pretty much over. Granted, my
R/T
is stock and the Z has minor mods but I'm pretty sure that if all was even
the Z would come out on top every time. That's not to say that it can't be
done. It's just that serious $$$ will need to be invested in the DAK to run
with a pretty much stock Z28.
Good luck with the project.
