We are finally makin an impact on them Hon-Duh boyz. I highly doubt a stock LS1 will be in 12.7-12.8 sec in the 1320. My friend has a 99 Camaro SS that runs 13.5-13.2 stock. Remember, a SS is faster and more power then the Z28. You give any car drag tires, they can run a lot faster but who here actually uses slicks on the street? Get real.

"Put bigger tires on and some exhaust mods and we're talking mid to low 12's."
Wow is that The honda enthusiasts answer to everything. I hear kids in my school say "Oh yeah, well when I get my new dual tenzo 3" exhaust tips with a resonated muffler my car will kick your ***." I don't know where this logic comes from but you need engine mods to back up that exhaust. There are 300+ HP cars that run 2" exhausts. I guess I'll never understand some people.

Dunno. Would have to see the Max. Camaro isn't a slow car.
Although...
If the Max had a 40 shot of nos and knows how to drive. and the camaro driver doesn't know how to launch.. It's a very possible roadkill.. I just hope the guy in the Max doesn't think he can beat every camaro he comes up against.
40 shot of nos is all it takes for a max to run mid to low 14's with a decent driver, right?

Exactly. And this was a convertible Camaro also. Those are quite a bit slower than a normal Z28.
The guy keeps pulling 12.8 out of his ***. Sure a non-convertible Camaro with slicks and a good driver AT the track can run that.. So what? That doesn't mean every damn Z28 on the road instantly runs 12.8.. It takes a damn good driver and slicks. Even then it's not going to happen in the convertible Camaro.
So with your average person driving a convertible Z28.. They probably run low 14's at best (Seeing as though most people who buy Mustangs and Camaros aren't really car enthusiast who want to mod their car and race. They are just people who buy the cars because of the sporty image it gives them.. I see atleast 10 girls to 1 guy driving Mustangs here. Usually they aren't even GT's. And they always seem to drive 5mph below the speed limit)
40 Shot of NOS on an Auto Maxima is all it would have taken to beat this car.

What?!
All 95+ camaros are automatics? Are you sure that's what you meant to say? There sure as hell are 6-speed f-bodies after 94...my Uncle has a 95 Firebird Formula V8 convertible 6-speed...

About the transmission question in F-body cars, Motor Trend tested an auto Firebird Formula vs. a 6-spd. Result? Even with their drivers, the cars posted almost the exact same 1/4-mile times and the auto was actually faster to 60! Be careful...
And yes, there are 6-spds after 1995, they're just very hard to find. Only about 25-30% of the Z28s have the 6-spd gearbox.

He said camaro convertibles, not all Camaros after 95.
Camaros are fast, you will need more then the mods I got on my Max, plus NOS. Any Camaro after 98 will run mid 13's and that is if its stock. So the SC from stillen might not put you over the top if he has just a few hundred in mods or knows how to drive the 6spd.
What’s this about camaro owners not being car enthusiasts? That’s BS. There are many, and they make many potent mods for these cars. Not many people buy these cars and keep them stock for very long, unless its a very old man. Even then I've seen them moded at times! Anyone ever look at a Summit Racing Catalog? I’m also a Z28 owner, and know many fellow enthusiast. Its not just for the "import" crowd.

Tex.. Calm down man. 
Think about this logically.
You're in the car scene..
Of course everybody you know mods and races their cars!!!
You're forgetting though.. We are but a small group of people when compared to the rest of the world.
MOST people who buy -any- car do not plan to mod or race it.. That includes Mustangs and Camaros!!!
Look around.. Every where you drive.. There are TONS of Mustangs and Camaros! Now..... How many of them have mods??!?! I see maybe 1 a week that actually has some hard core mods on it.. Usually all I see are V6 versions with some girl and her cell phone driving.... or a V8 with a guy who is driving 10mph below the speed limit.. These people obviously got the car because it is supposed to be fast and it looks cool, but they will probably never mod or race their car...
Chevy would go out of business if only REAL car enthusiast got their cars. (ok, maybe not? but they wouldn't be near as rich for sure!!)

Actually a stock z28 convertible can do 13.8 in the 1/4 mile. The Maxima in auto form is gonna need more than just a 40 shot, at least a 80 shot to take that car.

Sure.. It CAN run 13.8...
With a good driver!!
When my ex-girlfriend first did her swap in her CRX.. She was running high 14's if I remember correctly..
After quite a few runs she lowered it down to low 14's and now she is running high 13's..
You think somebody who probably has never taken their car to a track is going to run high 13's their first time?
I'm just assuming this person doesn't go to the track..
I mean.. If the camaro had ANY mods.. he would have spanked that Max..... If he had ANY driving skill he would have beat the max by a bit... Obviously he didn't have either of those... So yes.. 40 shot of NOS proably would have won in this situation...
And like I said before and I will say it again.... I sure hope the guy doesn't think he can beat ALL camaro's now.. because he is full of it if he does think that.
