the z28 will win if you race.

but he drives a camaro and you drive a mustang, so you really win.

Too many people here really belive the Mach1 = LS1 line.

In the real world both cars run similar times but with equal drivers the LS1 will always prevail. A Z28 with an automatic transmission and 2.73 gears might have a harder time but it will still eventaully pull on a Mach1.

With that being said the food chain is like this: Mach1 > 99 Cobra > 98 Cobra

Now take into account where the LS1 is.

And a Camaro SS had a better suspension with a different hood, spoiler and wheels. They also had optional SLP stuff to like a Lid and exhaust which gave them 10-20HP over a stock LS1.

hmm 98 cobra huh?... I dunno always heat about how fast these ls1's are but I always beat z28's - the SS's are alot more difficult
they are the same power wise, and the cobra runs low 14s, the ls1 high 12s-mid 13s

auto or manual you will loose, the auto is only a tenth or so slower, but that is only because of the crappy gears, if they had equal gears teh auto ls1 would win over the 6 speed

Agree. Given equal drivers and conditions, the LS1 is the faster car--period. But when do equal drivers and conditions ever happen on the street.

Yes, a Terminator is faster than an LS1, aren't you the bright one. But a '98 Cobra...

mustangman02232,

You do understand that a M6 has 3.42 gears and a A4 has 2.73 or 3.23 right?

Look at the gear ratios of the T-56 vs 4L60E, do you still belive the A4 is under geared?
