Before the subject comes up again, I just want to make sure that everyone knows that performance-wise SS = Z28. There's a sticky ("LS1") on the subject.
Thank you. Saved me some time...

my 300c is bone stock..its the 5.7l..u guys think a gt 99-04 will beat me it has nooooooo chance in hell..my gt might not beat it..i kept up with 2 camaros 1 of them was a terrible driver so he lost...trans am and camaro ss are exactly the same..i was gonna buy either a T/A or an ss but once i kept up with the ss i lost intrest in the car..im not talking out of my *** i raced them to know..i always thought that a camaro will kill my 300c but i was amazed they couldnt take me..these races were from about a 40-50 roll.. my friend and i raced an ss from a stop in his g35 and he was modifed we wouldnt have beat me by much...i thought ss were the best but not after i raced some..99-01 cobra lost to camaros i dnt know how it ****ed me over..he said its stock but it hadddd to be modified to do that he beat me by 2-3 cars...

Wow...do you talk like that in real life...or is everything you say....just a runon....sentence....Really....I want to know....

You drive an overweight, underpowered pig. It's made for guys that want to drive their family around and still feel a bit of torque. Not to race.

Please, know your role...well, you know the rest.

Like I say, I only googled and found a road test which provided those test times. They did not provide a trap speed. Based on your e.t. it appears that you could beat an SS - or are you saying you own an SS? . Has someone found a test report to justify saying that the stock SS will bea current stock GT? I'm just asking, not making any claims - I have no frikkin idea.....
A couple Mustang magazines have tested the stock LS1's to run in the 12's. Most run mid to low 13's, depending on where you live.Most dyno 300+rwhp stock. Mine made 325rwhp through an automatic and with exhaust as the only mod.

They are beasts, and we can handle them, but we need mods to have an edge on their cubes...simple as that.
What do we need for your two camshafts and 3 valves per head? [8D]

+1 any dodge pruduct with a 5.7L is pretty slow and weighs a ton, I beat up on 5.7L GTO's, 5.7L chargers, and a 5.7L magnum by about 2 car lengths from a digand I was still pulling, this was in my basic bolt on 04 GT ... I raced a 6.0L GTO and a 6.1Lcharger once... remind me never to do that again

so unless a 300C 5.7L was given ungodly amounts of power apart from the charger and magnum 5.7L's, theres no way in hell you hung with anything like the stated

ill_Smoke_you, I'm going to go out on a huge limb here and guess that you don't possess a single timeslip for that 2-ton family car. If you did, the numbers in black and white would be a wake-up call for you.
Tell ya what, I know there's a very small chance that you live anywhere near St Louis but if you do I'll be going to Gateway International Raceway in about an hour. If you meet me there I'll pay your way in to race. We'll line 'em up and compare. I'll close my cutout to negate some of the exhaust work.

HAHAHA... A G35 (save for the newest one) isn't exactly what you brag about to state your case against an S197 or an 'SS'
