What would our cars need to beat one of these? Would new tires & CAI/tune be enough?

 

4.10 gears, pulleys, CAI/tune, good tires, and good driving.

 

those ss are pretty fast..they got 350 HP stock and are prolly lighter than us too

 

that car can run 12s bone stock.

 

Beat one already...


and beat him easily.

It depends on what kind of race. Mustangs are better suited to race from a dig, from a roll it's hard to say because the ls1 engine's have extemely good top end speed. They also respond very well to basic mods. A cai/93oct tune, udp's, o/r mid pipe, cmcv plates, should do it. These mods are proven to make at least 40-45rwhp over stock and should be to get you a 12 second 1/4 mile pass on street tires as well. These five mods total about 1000 dollars, this shows it doesn't take much to make s197's an awesome car.

The '02 SS horsepower rating is 310. The optional SLP exhaust increased the hp to 325.* These numbers are as high as the LS1 in a 4th gen Camaro ever saw. As for weight, I'm not absolutely sure what they weigh but they are close to the third gen which weighs around 3600, depending on transmission and other goodies.

To compare, from the same website, here are the numbers for a 2005 Mustang GT tested at $26,675:

Curb weight 3523 lbs
300 bhp@5750 RPM
320 lb-ft@4500 RPM

0-60 5.2 secs
1/4 mile 13.80 secs @ 102mph
Top Speed 149mph


As far as that's era bodystyle of goes, that Camaro looks as good as any they ever made. Still, it looks like a mutant stretched Saturn. JMO. I'd still take my stock 2006 pony any day.

 

Gotta remember guys, the LS1 in F-bodies is underrated by about 25 horse, probably so as not to steal the Vettes thunder.

I've been thinking about a 93-97 F-body (LT1) as a daily driver... since an old Mopar is too **** expensive the next closest Mustang is not that attractive (94-98 (sorry 94-98 Stang owners).

 

I beat them up as well as C6 vettes..
Now once they are cammed or juiced thats another story

 

HaHaHa i hate Camarro's... if you couldnt tell by my sig lol...my brother in law beat a camaro SS in his 99 gt.. im not shre what year it was but i know he beat it and the GT was Stock

 

You're smoking something. Unless the SS had 2 plug wires removed, theres no way a stock '99 GT takes out a late model SS Camaro. We're comparing a 260hp 281 inch motor to a 320hp 350 inch motor.

It's just not going to happen.

 

Also, with the 6k that the camaro costs more than the stang, you could build a monster of a mustang that blows the doors off the camaro. The Mustang GT is not really in the same performance category as the camaro since the camaro's 6k higher price,bigger engine, and alot higher top speed. I would suggest comparing the Z28 to the mustang. It is in the same category performance wise.

 

I hate when this happens.

 

Its so annoying when it triple posts.

 

Triple Post.

 

Camaros? Bring 'em on!!

 

Yeah Camaros,wait until I am running a 11.9 N/A on street tires and 18" rims,then we'll see who's boss.

 

it might have been a Z28 im not shure as i wasnt there coulda swore he said an SS tho
