How To: Best 0-60 Time in a Manual Transmission Car (6th Gen Camaro)

[@carlozmrc]

If in a manual, Put it into gear "R" for racing mode!

[@rayanyaman7759]

carlozmrc I tried that and the car was going back did I do something wrong?

[@joet.2361]

ryan You forgot to put the Parking brake into the locked position :)

[@FuriousFurricane]

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

To go even faster put it into N for nitrous

[@uziel5000]

If the tires are as bad as you mentioned, that could be the issue right there. No amount of warm up will make up for shot tires.

[@realtalk4689]

My 0-60 time is so fast when I close my eyes, I hear people screaming in excitement (driver mod).

[@robertmoore119]

You have the idea, find your rpm. Let out the clutch until you find the grab. Dont really sit there. It heats up the clutch. Then give it the gas. As your giving it gas. Don't let the clutch out slow. Get off the clutch as fast as you can. It's all in the gas after that. You want to control your wheelspin. Wheelspin until the engine can't spin the tires anymore. The rest is full throttle. Stay ahead of the grab with the throttle, but don't blow the tires off. Also try the softest suspension, but most aggressive throttle mode. You want the weight transfer and max power.

[@robertmoore119]

BTW, good video. Nice car too. I had an 02/Z28 with the T56.

[@SpencerLeJeune]

If you start in R, youll go faster.

[@tylerferguson1689]

2017 camaro ss 50th anniversary 0-60: 4.6, never got to 4.1 but man I love these camaros. Nothing better than waking up in the morning with remote start on cold and taking for ers at 70 mph, only thing I can complain about is how harder it is to look in the rear view mirror😣

[@CarGuy11]

Use Tour mode for weight transfer to rear. Check out my 4.2s run on my channel in my C7.

[@SaucyBreeze]

Best time was a 4.0 on my 1SS. It is not a 1LE so it is slightly lighter without the 1LE suspension compared to the SS 1LE models. I also used rev matching in track mode without traction control. Outside temperature was mid 70s with non heated stock eagle F1 tires. I did rev it just right below 2k and played around with the clutch and acceleration pedal timings to get my overall fastest time. One thing I did not consider was the No loft feature until I saw you mentioned it in your video. I am curious to see if that will yield a better time. I will update my comment if I am able to get a faster time using no lift feature. Additional info: at the time of testing, the car was still at a stock tune.

[@zachsimmons382]

Sport mode is def my preferred mode. I never use the others. Nice video.

[@bone6627]

Doing a burnout depends on the tires you have. It definitely is not one size fits all. Drag Racing 101: Destroying the Myth: Tires, Water Box, VHT. There are three main tires used on the track; street, drag radials, and slicks. Street tires are not designed for burnouts because it superheats them thereby providing poor traction. Skip Barber racing school consistently has students darting back and forth on the track upon getting into the Neon's, Viper's, or Ram's in an attempt to heat up the tires, only to be told to stop by the instructors because these vehicles run on street tires. The recommendation for a street tire is to go AROUND the water box and accelerate hard to the starting line to remove any debris off the tires. Street tires also remove the traction compound, VHT, unlike slicks and a few drag radials that put down rubber. The inherit conflict/problems is people do not remove the debris off their tires by accelerating hard to the starting line and then rip up the VHT creating poor track conditions. On the opposite side of the spectrum are slicks which are designed to be heated them up. Do to the amazing traction these tires support, water is usually required to get them to spin without doing damage to the drive train. Like previously noted, slicks leave compound unlike street tires who remove it, hence why conditions can improve over a professional racing period (assuming the track temperature doesn't increase).

[@alexmccamy6808]

Have you tried using the "launch mode" described in the manual? Put it in competition mode, floor it and quickly let the clutch out. Curious how the computer controlled launch compares to your human launch.

[@RPProductions]

I've tried it once on track and once on the street. Both times I wasn't happy with it so I'll stick to doing it manually for now. Will probably give it another shot soon though!

[@63falcondude]

Alex McCamy Launch control sets the RPMs pretty high. Like 4k. You really have to be easy on the clutch release if you want to use it at all.

[@Kingg_G]

The camaro is a 4.0 0-60. Your point is invalid, those numbers are on new tires at a track.

[@ShogMan]

I really like your vlogs - and I'm old school. So I have to try and impart some wisdom on the shifting prowess I am seeing in the video. You can drop the 0-60 by at least 3 tenths by proper speed shifting. If you're doing it right, anyone watching would think you have a automatic. It's a tricky finesse tactic - more than even the launch. Believe it or not, done properly, it's less stress on the driveline. Had to say that before some ignorant expert chimes in.

[@stevewaggoner3013]

I agree the secret is not launching at such a high rpm. I have an auto scatpack, launched at 1000 rpms on 275 rear tires, sport mode traction control on and got a 3.9.

[@Zulbat]

If you think altitude is a factor in power performance in modern cars I’m pretty sure the onboard computer adjusts the mixture for altitude in a fuel injected car. I know my Audi does.

[@johncontreras9782]

Hey Riley just a tip looking at the steering wheel I wouldn't try to wash it with anything it's much like a rug or any other synthetic fiber I bought the cockpit brush from Adams and I just keep it in the car and keep brushing or dusting it periodically and the nap stays like the day I picked it up

[@RPProductions]

Yep I use the same brush from Adam's for it!

[@rmm2424]

To get in the low 4s you got to have a little bit of wheel spin

this applys to rwd cars if you have a AWD car with low HP (under 250) you can launch from a higher gear and let go of the clutch sooner than rwd or FWD cars.

If you're trying to get the best 0 to 60 why would you recommend that we go with what we like? What does what you like have to do with your time? You need to go with what's the fastest not what you like. Also whatever is the fastest for one person will be the fastest for everyone else if they're driving the same car.

I'm SUPER consistent at 4.4, but best is 4.3, stock air pressure, in Austin Texas. 2019 SS 1Le. Thinking r888r will take me to lower 4s got me half a second in the scatpack but those had 275 stock and these are 305 stock so I dont expect as big a gain, what was your personal best ? I know you have moved onto a few rides since this one.......

[@08turboSS]

Tire width isnt as important as grip and dont go more than 10mm wider on any wheel, example dont put a 305 wide tire on a 9.5" wheel made for oem 285... That 20 mm extra will actually hurt acceleration. Go no wider than 295 and dont go with a short side wall either. keep it 35 to 45 mm, IE 285/40/18, 285/35/18. 30" sidewall will slow you down and lack grip as theres no sidewall compression in short tiny height tires. They look kool but thats it

you're not making 60 in 2nd gear? I've done 4.3 with a little wheel spin

[@RPProductions]

I always heard not to warm up street tires because they are designed to grip best at normal temps. Anyone can confirm this?

[@RPProductions]

From what I understand it's best to heat them up a bit (hence the short burnout demonstration in this video) but you don't want to over-do it. Massive burnouts with street tires will just hurt performance and kill your tires.

[@johnnygt6039]

FivepointohJerry A street tires do not warm up like a drag radial or a slick compound tire. A street tire will produce a slick type material (oil) when too much heat is applied. With that being said, I still do a quick small burnout like Riley does so the tire isn't cold.
