RE: 98 camaro Z28 SS package

what kinda HP are you putting to the wheels? those cars are pretty quick but heavier than our cars. If all he has is CAI and exhaust, you should beat him inthe quarter. If he has a tune also, it could be a different story. Those 5.7L's can get pretty sick for a small amount of money.

Only one way to find out though...take it to the track and post results.

Should be a drivers race, provided he's tuned and you both have the Good Driver Mod. If he's not... you should have him by onetenth or so.

It should be a good race but I would put my $$$ on him. You have to do everthing right while he can just press the gas and hit a low 13...

I would not say that the 4th gen F-body is heavier than a S197. Mine was 3450 stock. 98's are the slowest year LS1's but the car should still run a mid-low 13. BTW 50,000 miles is nothing for that car, mine went 12.5 @ 110 with a few bolt ons and drag radials (6 speed) when it had 50,000 miles on it. It should be a good race.
