RE: GT performance?
As Z06's are capable of 12.1's and TA's have ran 12.8's stock, I don't see where this is coming into the argument. Like I said, I'm glad to see the ignorance on this board still exists. I need humor like this once in a while...

z06s dont run 12.1 stock. thats a load of ****. just like the other guy said, get a time slip to prove it. with an expert driver you could run a 12.5. and ide also like to see a stock ta run 12.8. BS a stock vette runs a 13.1

RE: GT performance?
YOur all missing the point. What im saying is that he is saying the accepted (magazine wise) 1/4 times for the camaro/vette are high, and the GT ones are too low?
So they are able to get all you can out of a GT and then some, but cant even make the same 1/4 mile within a full second of actual F body times????
Hmmmm

If I went by magazine times I would think the GT runs around 14.1, the MACH around 13.8, and the S/C'ed Cobra around 13.5. Which from what I've seen at my local track, isn't too far off.

Oh, you guys will believe a Mach 1 running low 13's and high 12's but you have beef with a TA with MORE hp that weighs just SLIGHTLY more ripping 12.8 stock...?
Yeah, the intelligence is still very low on this board. I'm just going to sit back and laugh.

RE: GT performance?
low intelligence....riiiiight you think a ta with less hp and alot more weight than a vette will do better in the 1/4....sure!
and about the ta having more hp than a mach, i would have thought you knew how underated it was

RE: GT performance?
They have the same motors - 'rumored' to be down tuned but it was very untrue. In 98-2000 the Vettes did have a couple more HP, not to mention a superior suspension with helps them get into high 12's stock.
After 2000 the LS6 manifolds were standard equip on all LS1's, skilled drivers who know how to get down the 1/4 mile can reach 12's with Z28's & TA's.
I know how under rated the Mach1 motor is. But they are not putting out 300-310+ RWHP that these stock LS1's are...
