Boost....
Boost is almost like a drug. I cant help but put my foot into it when I see some people walking, just to see there head swing around.
You will be surprised at the amount of V8 cars like you listed, you will be faster than. some of the newer cars you have to watch out for though. both V6 stangs and camaros are FAST! 300-310 HP from a V6 is pretty quick. I cant imagine keeping up with the 400+ hp camaro SS. but the older cars(some of them) are surprisingly slow compared to the HHR SS. my best friend has a 86 Firebird with a stock 305. It has absolutley no power! 190hp if i remember correctly and was an even race with my 2.4 auto. but it looks fast, and he can turn heads without even leaving his driveway. meanwhile people ask me what the hell I'm driving. and dont believe the SS badge until im long gone. I was surprised at the number of "muscle" cars that i ran faster than at the track...and I had a terrible time(10.30 1/8th)...some of the 80's and 90's stangs and camaros struggle to run 11 flat(1/8th)

12's are possible. one member on here has a SS with an E47.5 tune...he has videos on youtube. I know my car is capable of 14.5's with just the programmer alone. if i had slicks and some other goodies, maybe a downpipe, IC piping, Id be in the 13's, but i dont know for sure.
I better bring an extra pair of underwear. I just filled up 1:1 gas/ethanol and tweaked my tune for the extra 7.5% e over my old tune. I'm holding it to 22psi but I expect to be able to run hecka advance with no knock.
14.5 is a little slower than 99-04 mustang gt .. my 98,z28 stock got 13.6at 106 before mods.. I added 4.10 gears and got 13.09 at 109... So mid 13 and still be under warranty and I'm a happy camper
