Built LT1 z28
This is more of an encounter since no one actually raced, I met a guy at autozone tonight w/ a built 94 z28, not sure exactly of the mods, except for a 150 shot of nitrous. He said it dynoed at just over 350 rwhp on motor so you can imagine how insane it is w/ the spray. Anyway, we cruised up and down a main street in town a little, and that thing will flat haul a$$. The nitrous was empty so I didn't get to feel the spray, but basically he could be sideways at any time in the first 3 gears. I can't even imagine what a 500 hp camaro would feel like on the street, probably zero traction. I'm gonna get another ride when he gets the bottle filled up again so hopefully that'll be soon. Anybody have any idea what a 350 rwhp z28 would do in the 1/4 mile w/ drag radials and stock 3.42 gears. You Chevy guys correct me if 3.42's don't sound correct stock.

Yeah my GT doesn't even deserve to be in the same parking lot w/ this car power wise. I had a friend w/ an 02 Trans Am WS6 and that car felt slow compared to this one, and WS6's are far from slow. With the spray 03/04 cobra's wouldn't even be able to hang. I hate to say it, but it almost disappoined me to get into my car after riding in that one.

Yeh, Mustangs like 5.0 and the GT's dont have a chance against LS1/LT1 Ive driven a 96 Z28 auto, a 98 z28 6 speed , and a mustang gt 5 speed, the 6 speed was smoother/comfortable/faster/easier driving , the mustang shifter was too far, and not as torque as the Z, fast as hell cars, my brothers friend had a 01 SS 6 speed with bolt ons/cam/headers/mid/catback/CAI and it sounded OMG, over 350 RWHP and he took me for a spin and my whole body felt numb once I got out...REALLY fast cars...

RE: Built LT1 z28
stanger88... your comments are getting old. just because you can't get your car to run right and muster anything better than a mid 14 out of it, doesn't mean you have to talk down the 5.0... i ran better times when my car was stock than what you run now. i trap 101mph with nothing but full exhaust and a CAI, last time i checked, a stock LT1 won't trap over a 100+mph. you obviously don't know what the heck you're doing. may i suggest getting another hobby ? ...like collecting stamps or maybe making fart noises with your arm pitts ? perhaps you'd have more success at that.

Well, What I know is I think the Mustang GT 1999-2004 has 260 HP and 302 LBS 4.6 Liter 281 CI, the Camaro Z28 from 1993-1997 has 275 HP and 325 LBS 5.7 Liter 350 CI...Mustang GT has 5 speed and Z28 has 6 speed...Thats the older camaro's, the 1998-2002 camaro's are just wow, LS1 with the SLP package rates at 345 HP with over 340 LBS Torque [sm=jawdrop.gif]
Thats insane, I dont know if you were talking about the 05-06 GT's or the 99-04, but Camaro's are monsters stock, Ive driven/seen/listened all of it....Thats the camaro, Wonder what the Corvette LS6 would do lol...I havent dealed with any mustangs except for the GT 5 speed I test drove...Not bad, but both cars and fun and fast!
