Should be close. It could hinge on whether the SS is an auto or 6-speed. If a 6-speed, the SS has the edge. If an auto, it could go either way.

Stock to stock the SS will win.It would take a few bolt ons or gears and DRs to turn the tables.

The SS should run low-mid 13's stock. It has 3.23 gears and I ran 13.52 with 2.73s. My gal ran 13.36 stock with 2.73s and a 2.0 60 ft. The Flowmaster shouldn't help much.

Flowcrappers suck for the Camaro. I'll have to also give it to the Camaro on this one unless he sleeps at the tree.

I am gonna say driver race. At the track it is way too easy to spin, and these sound like some first timers!

Yar, the SS is the faster car, but when has that ever had anything to do with anything?
