RE: stock camaro vs stock mustang
The 5.7L TPI available in 1987-1992 was available only with the TH700R4 (Auto). It weighed about 3300-3400 lb. The 1987 was limited production with no AC.
A really good driver could just squeek a LX HO Notch into the 13.80's and a hatch into the 13.90's. These cars werearound 2885 lb for a no AC Notch and around 2970 lb for a AC Hatch. They also had a lot of easy freebie mods that could take up to 2/10 off that. The typical 5.7L Z28 was about the same ET as the heavier GT 5spd. The AOD Mustangs ran like crap though. The L98ECM was also more picky about mods. The Corvettewas 300 lb lighter than the F-Body with better exhaust and heads (Aluminum with better ports) and more compression and was a little quicker than the Mustang in stock form.
