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

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

2013 kia soul 0-60 24.7s in Ecobeast mode

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.

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

It made me happy watching this video, I have a 2017 Camaro LT2-RS V6 manual and my fastest time was 4.9 seconds! I like to rev it to around 3,500 RPMs before releasing the clutch. From my experience, which is a lot lol the less horsepower a naturally aspirated engine has the more revs are needed at launch. My previous vehicle which was highly underrated, a 2010 Kia Forte Koup did its best at 5k RPMs. I have raced my cars against vehicles that should definitely beat them but what gives me the competitive edge is I do the high RPM launches where other people don't. I don't know if this can be explained well but their is a certain sound the engine makes when taking off, I call it a grunting sound when trying to get to speed once it gets to so many RPMs that sounds fades, at the RPM where the sound starts to fade is the best RPM to launch at, it's different in each vehicle. I could hear that sound when he took off in this video so I think if he had started with higher RPM the time would be much better.

How to get the best 0-60 time? Driver mod.

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.

If you start in R, youll go faster.

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😣

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.

Well I'm not typically someone who brags but when I attempted this. My Kia Picanto at INCREDIBLE 69 HP - I did 60 in about......"Few hours later"

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.

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

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).

2012 Challenger SXT, 3.06 rear diff, stock 18 inch wheels on general altimax RT43 tires, resonators deleted, K&N free-flow drop-in replacement filter, Full synthetic oil 5W-30 stock tune, 89 octane, Auto-stick mode = 5.8 0-60 consistently.

0-60 I hit 100.5 when I wear addidas shoes but 90.5 when I wear Nike shoes

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.

WOW ,who would've guessed 6 years later I would have a 2024 2SS 1LE M6 in sharkskin,red seatbelts & pdr (performance data recorder) on order ,I just got my Allocation on Sept 7 after 7 months of trying to land one of these cars

My best in my Charger Scat Pack was a 4.3, but that was at the track. My 1/4 mile in that run was a 12.48. All on stock 245's

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.

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.

Burnout should only be as long as it takes to get smoke from the tire. Anything after the smoke starts and you're just destroying the tire.

I'm in Houston. 65f higher humidity. 2021 Camaro SS1LE MANUAL. MY BEST so far is 4.4.. but I'm just driving a manual again for the first time in 10 years.. I'll get better

What kind of suction cup mounts are you using? Same for interior and exterior ? Thanks in advance... Love the 1LE !!

Great video! Would you mind explaining the no-lift shift feature and how to use it? Im in the 16 2SS.

Thanks for the s/o! Glad the pics are in good use ;)

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

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

'83 Diesel Chevrolet Chevette- 23.6 sec 0-60

Only certain types of tires are better when you heat them up first (burnout)

I notice you stated you don't like the way it shifts. Id say its more of a operator error rather than a bullet proof tremec tranny. Some people just are not meant for driving a sports car well.

I have a 2021 I’m having trouble making the exhaust pop and crackle any tips? Do I need to switch any settings? And yes I do have tha npp exhaust

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.

Why do people dislike the videos theres nothing wrong w the videos

Stock 2017 2.0t camaro I did 0-50mph 3.7sec. Havent tryied 0-60 yet :/

Your videos are awesome Riley. Always instantly like.

Why not use the launch control??!!! 6th gen is equipped with it.

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.

My civic did 0-57 In 14 sec. it never reached 60.

I'm glad you bought a 1LE as I can compare your experiences against my '17 1SS. If you're ever in the Houston area you should come on out to the Pearland car meets Friday nights at Lowes and in Kemah at the Home Depot on Saturday nights.

U will get a four O don't worry that's the best thing about manuals. Imagine getting a 4 second zero against like an m4 6sp. Nice shifts seemed quicc with the no lift shift

I have the 2016 SS2 Camaro. Best time I’ve hit is 3.9 seconds 0-60 with a 6 speed manual stock. Settings: Track mode - Rev match - Competitive mode (hit traction button twice). Launch away 🏁🏁. Keep in mind now the stability and traction control is now disabled.

Also curious, why didn’t you use launch control?

6:50 it is pronounced 4.Selm not 4.seven

I have a 2017 2ss and when I hit the down arrow to go into the menu when I go into competitive mode it just switches to snow and ice mode ?? Is that a 1le only feature?

can you do one for the automatic? plus not all cars have a timer in them so is there another way of calculating it?

thanks for the performance pages didn't know about those

Consistent 4.8s in my scat pack challenger 6 speed manual when I hook. 4.3ish when I’m spinning but spinning ain’t winning and it doesn’t count. I have 315s on the 9 inch wide rims so I’m not getting a lot of traction, and if I release the clutch too quickly I start spinning.

why do i have 2 pedals?

Love the Northgate backdrop at the end of the video. Gig Em!

I've been thinking for my next car...a camaro or corvette??

Try in snow and ice I wonder how the trac control reacts....

I got 3.3 at the dragstrip on drag radials last Saturday leaving easy. So I think the car has more in it.

Would you recommend a '14 Charger SRT8?

Hey bro since you have had some sweet rides in your garage, do you ever miss the scatpack or even the 2014 RT??? Or no...?????

Sport Mode and Track Mode use different throttle sensitivity.... Sport mode is more twitchy than Track (Drive Modes not PTMS Modes)

Any reason you didn't use launch control?

“Close to sea level Good weather Low humidity” Me in Florida 😐

have you tried using the launch control? I have a 17 ss 1LE as well, once it warms up in Canada i'll give it a shot and report back... my goal is a 4.0 0-60

Is this safe for your clutch lining life?

Spinnin ain’t winnin, get some good tires to help prevent spinnin an take of chirps, nittos is what I run on my 2018 2ss camaro and my 2016 gmc four door Sierra 2 wheel drive I just recently ordered the edge tuner I’ll be posting some vids of my toys soon

At how many rpms are you shifting?

I'm somewhere in the high 5 second range for the 0-60 on my 06 Chrysler 300C 5.7.

Nice man. I am a bit confused in your video though... I see paddle shifters on the steering wheel and yet you are shifting with the shifter like it is a manual. Is this version of the Camaro have a sequential shift mode?

I did get a 4.1 in my FBO, TUNED 2013 AUTO G37 SEDAN! 12.79 ET!! I better beat that in Baytown this year in the 1LE!

I just got 5.0 on my first try using the 0-60 timer on my 18 SS 1LE. I was in track mode and forgot to turn off traction control. I know dry mode feels faster for sure but I didn't think to engage it or use launch control at the time. My next run was 8.5 seconds... lol I couldn't get it in second. I have a skip shift eliminator sitting in my room just waiting to be installed. I hope that will help me get in second as at times it feels like I'm getting locked out even when I'm getting on it from first.

I'm going to try it tomorrow 😄🤗

2006 G35 Coupe, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds was my best time

how do you do a tire warm up with a manual?

Once you get new wheels do a vid of how to do a burnout on a manual

you need a separate set of wheels and drag radial tires to have fun with

Wait that whole menu with sport 2 after competitive mode.. is that 1le only or SS has it too?

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.......

bruhhhhh I miss the scat pack lol. great video man

Hey riley , Do you think getting a new tires are the best mod you can do to a car?

And if you don't have posi traction, the burnout wouldn't work. I myself don't have posi and every time I do a burnout before, one wheel spins. Then once I start, the opposite wheel spins.

is this a 1le?

I’m not sure what launch that was.

I get mine next week!!

Does the camaro come with those rev match paddles?

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

Every 16yr old is asking for the keys to their dads viper....

The best way to get a low 4 sec run is get into a time machine, get back into the scat pack and try again!

been waiting for "another one " Riley lol

These Modern cars are so damn heavy man...

My Z06 scares me 😳

what was your best 0-60 in the scat? 4.5 right?

What if its "fly by wire" and your throttle response is shit. Think you'll blow the clutch if it hangs lol
