don't know what year you are talking about but when i started running 10.90. (this was the first year for the .5 tree for s/st) I was using a 1979 trans am. home made slapper bars. car flat out 10.60. i did not have any reaction issues with it. i did use a small front tire. there are a lot of tweeks you can do to make it react faster

Like Keith said a tweek here and there . I started out with a 1969 nova with stock suspension and have a lot of red lights , so it can be done. Good luck and have fun

Thumbs up Re: 10.90 stock suspension??

D1 S/ST Champ Marty Ganjoine's Camaro is a killer with a stock suspension / CalTrack setup.
Slappers might narrow your tuning window a little , but you should be able to hit a .500 protree and still need a little delay .
