Owning both a T and a Late model camira SS I have been undecided on which one was faster, the T feels faster but a few traffic light drags have proven them to be very very similar.

But tonight my wife and I decided to stop the argument of whos is faster by having a rolling start race on the highway on the way home, before anyone has a hissy fit on how stupid this is, it was at 2:00am and no other cars were around, also there is a 60 zone which leads straight into a 100 zone so that provided the perfect launching pad, so travelling at 60 we nailed it and the SS jumped about half a car lenght to which I thought, oh crap I am never gonna here the end of this then the T just breezed past and pulled away, by the time we backed off at XXXkmph the T had about 2 car lenghts on the SS.

The SS is still fun to drive though.

This is what happens to all the ss's they get the jump but that's it the turbo just takes over from there.

I see speed did not kill you either.[sorry I could not resist]LOL

Just curious if both are auto's or manual, or one of each? Also having both, is one easier to launch then the other?

Interesting results, I thought the T would have been quickers however the reverse way around, with the SS catching up top end.

The SS to me always felt like it had more grunt at higher speeds.
