Well, a Trans AM WS6 would wreck my Bullitt I know that for sure, a 98-02 F-Body would probably beat my bullitt as well, those are VERY fast, but on a road course the bullits would outhandle no prob.

what does a 2000 Z28 camaro have? i dont no too much about them but i beat one at the track after a kid in my auto tech was talking ****. i beat him by about a car.

Well, I was an F-Body maniac until my first Foxbody May of last year. I was absolutely crazy about 3rd gen Camaros and 4th Gen Camaros and Firebirds so I know a lot. Im not gonna lie, I wanted an IROC-Z like nobody's business. Those cars are very very fast. Faster than most generic GT Mustangs(bone stock that is). Ive driven many, the pickup and speed on those cars is really something. Although, they do not feel anywhere near as refined as a Mustang. Thats why im glad to own a Mustang more. The ride is much better in a stang and the handling feels better(and is better in a Bullitt). Not to mention finding a manual transmission in an F-body is a hell of a task....SO many are autos its ridiculous. Well as far as power goes on these cars, a 93-95 Firebird/Camaro had 275HP stock from the old Vette motor, a 350Ci 5.7 liter motor, the LT1. It was bumped up to 285 in 96 & 97. These are fast but Im 100 percent confident they will lose to Bullitts. In 1998, they started using the LS1 engine which is superior to the LT1 in just about all aspects. Its the same LS1 they used in the 04-06 Pontiac GTOs. Anywyas as far as power goes, the 98-02 Z28/Trans-AM had about 315-320 stock. The WS6 and Camaro SS had about 340 under its hood. These cars are pretty damn fast, but nowhere near as refined as a Mustang. I suppose this is why the Mustang surived and the Camaro/Firebird did not. You can look up stats on the Z28s and Firebirds from 98-02 and it will state like 305-310hp and around 320-325 for the SS/WS6. That is underrated though, as I have seen many Dyno results from stock machines proving it to be more in the 315-320 range and 340 for SS/WS6. SO when you beat that 2000 Z28, pretty damn good job!!!! My friend has an 01 Z28 that he wants to race me with. Im interested to see the result!

MrBullitt08

i think u have a chance. i think if you put a good driver in a bullitt and the just an ok driver in the Z28 im pretty sure the bullitt will win in the quarter. Defintly tell me the results of the race!

bullittinurbrain

i own both a ws6 and a bullitt, no way my bullitt will beat the trans am. end of story! there is the result!both are lightly modified. if you beat the z28 by a car ither you was racing and he wasnt, you are heavily modified or he cant drive.***my 2 cents***

in99flames

Yea I knew that one. Def will not beat a WS6 without some modification!!

All ls1 f-bodies have the same hp, and tq. Basically...
WS6 = SS = FIREHAWK = Z28

If your thinking i'm wrong, do some research. Obviously you are stating lame facts.

in99flames

Haha ok. Well yea, not only do I think you are wrong, I know you are wrong. Im sorry a WS6/SS is not the same as a Trans Am or a regular Z28. Owners will tell you that, and as for me who has driven an 01 Z28 and a 98 WS6, yea the WS6 has way more pull to it. Not to mention a Firehawk is an rare model of the Trans Am which is faster than a regular Trans-Am/Z28 and faster than a WS6. They are AROUND the same BHP, but they are indeed different and some are peppier than others.

look here: http://www.thebiglot.com/reviews/200...0SS_REVIEW.asp

and here: "And concealed beneath that extended prow on both machines, a retuned version of Corvette's aluminum 5.7-liter V8 engine with forced air induction pushes the power curve 15 points above the Z28 rating to 325 hp at 5200 rpm, with torque skewed as high as 350 lb-ft at 4000 rpm." from - http://www.engine-power.com/chevy/camaro_z28.html

and here: "The 5.7-liter V8 (overhead-valve LS1 with aluminum cylinder block and heads) comes in the Formula and Trans Am in two versions: 310 horsepower and 340 foot-pounds of torque or, with the WS-6
Ram Air package, 325 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque." - from: http://www.automallusa.net/2002/pont...d/reviews.html

and here: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...s_am_firehawk/

and here: "Available in coupe or convertible form, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am came standard with a 310 hp V8 engine derived from the Corvette LS1 small block. The Trans Am WS6 is a higher trim level, tuned by F-Body tuners SLP, which added a Ram Air cold air intake, hood scoop and 15 more horses." "SLP also offered a Firehawk version with an optional exhaust system that bumped up horsepower to 335 hp." - from: http://www.modernracer.com/history/p...s6history.html



Case and point.

VERY NICE, LOVE THAT, ACTUALLY I BELIEVE THE FIREHAWK HAS ROUND 345HP AND THE WS6 LIKE MINE IS 325BHP! TO COMPARE THESE CARS TO A Z28 IS UNREALISTIC, SS CAMARO IS VERY CLOSE WITH A TRANS AM WS6 ls1, SAME ENGINE TRANS TRIM ETC, SAME MANUFACTURER.:-)IN99FLAMES, VERY NICE TO PUT THE GUY IN CHECK.
HERES A PIC OF MY COLLECTOR EDITION TRANS AM ENGINE BAY

Ah! You have the Collectors Yellow!!! Sweet car man!!! If I didnt get my Bullitt, it was going to be a black 98 WS6....but the Bullitt seemed l ike a better buy (comparing mileage and the difference in years of 2001 to 1998). Im glad I got the Bullitt. I will buy a Trans Am one of these days
