Jimmy asked:


I have researched the average 0-60 for a 2002
trans am=5.0sec
camaro ss=5.2sec

These cars have the same engine (ls1) with the same horsepower. Why the difference in the 0-60 time?

      That doesn’t mean the Trans Am is faster; the weight of the driver, weather conditions, road condition and a host of other factors can make one car quicker than another if not tested under the exact same conditions. I only take notice of a difference in 0-60 times when the difference is .4 or greater, and even then it CAN be misleading.

      The firebird being possibly slightly more aerodynamic with its hidden headlightsmaybe.
