Anyway, Fox's are over 3000 pounds, but that gen camaro is closer to the 4000 pound mark.

that camaro is 3500 lbs stock, I had one & rechecked it to be sure. So according to the Posterthe camarohas aworked 350 { cam, forged internals}, exhaust& 4 11's depending on whats done to the engine either it's a close race or the camaro will take the stock 5.0.. , heck that 350 may be putting out 400 horse

'88 is a different car & a nicely worked 350 & a TPI are 2different engines.
I had a friend with a really fast 1977 camaro with a worked 350, thats the car i keep thinking about, car ran low 12's.

Theres so many variables, it depends on what's done to the engine in the camaro, Yeah I can see the fox Mustangs taking care of most mid 1980's TPI camaros
