Putting aside all the egos and non-stock mods, I have a basic question:

How fast can a stock 2001 Trans Am, Ram Air 325 HP Car really do?

Thanks for the input.
Edd

On a good track with a good driver I've seen some car magazine road
tests get a 12.9 @ 108-110 mph in the 1/4. A more average Joe, with
some practice, should be able to get a sub 13.5.

0-60 times are barely above 5 seconds, usually around 5.1 or 5.2.
Braking is not impressive; stock brakes suck, IMO. I have the 6-speed
manual, and have been told that the automatic is actually quite good,
and offers good launches and is better than a manual unless you really
practice and know what you are doing.

I have to agree with you on the brakes. I have a SS Camaro and the
brakes are the weakest link. Before doing ANY performance mods, you'd
be nuts not to upgrade the brakes. What was GM thinking?

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

lab~rat,

You think your Camaro brakes are bad. You should sample brakes on a
Fox Mustang. Even my Cobra with 4-wheel discs (the only Fox Mustang
that came with rear discs) are horrible.
