and for the record, i said the ss is the fastest camaro, which it is, i didnt say a z28 with the same parts ADDED wouldnt be as fast, SS's are slightyly upgraded a maro guy said it was an option you can buy it that way from chevy STOCK, more than just cometics, not a z28, so wheres the correction? maybe they should teach you how to read

pipe down, check your ego, im talking about a fun time not the end of the world lol dont get your panties bunched up
You're wrong...SS cars get added weight from their add ons (suspension is slightly different with bilsteins, thicker sway bars and springs , hood, spoiler, yada yada) and they usually get a muffler/intake (if ordered) that never really seems to make a difference anywhere but on the sticker price.... as far as the fastest....I guess if you count fastest times ever a Z28 has gone 12.89 @ 108mph and the fastest SS has gone 12.96 @ 107mph.. Thats fastest with proof by anyone that I am aware of...

Will some SS cars be faster than Z28 cars? Yes. Will some Z28 cars be faster than SS cars...Yes. To say the SS is faster than a Z28 just shows a lack of information/knowledge regarding F-body cars.

No, not you. Just certain other members who want to make sure that we GM guys, who have usuallybeen here alot longer than they have, understand that "this is a Ford enthusiast site" so we should bow down to their uber fast GM killers or whatever.

BTW guys there is an "LS1" sticky at the top of this forum with some good info.

i am going to have to agree with the ls1 guys on this one, as muchas i like to try and stomp the ls1 cars i got to say, 1. you didn't go from a dig or even honk off a roll race you just put the pedal to the floor when you felt like it which would give you the advantage. 2. when he came back at you revved to show you he wanted to run again and you had the opportunity to make it fair you didn't. 3. no one has called bs to your run so why are peopletryin to instigate with the ls1 guys on here

to the OP nice run but if you you really want to claim a victory thenmake it a fair race.
Because certain members here like to whine about LS1 guys being "on thier forum" any chance they get. (notice it's usually the guys with the slowest cars who cry the most[:-])
No it's just because you analyze every post that I make and then cry about it. You are the first to start crap with me in every post that I make in SS. If you dont like me then dont read my posts! I get along with every other LS1 guy on this board. BTW my best friend owns a modded 99 SS and one of my other friends has an 01 SS so I am familliar with their performance. But they are not the fastest car out there as you might think.If you cant take it then maybe you should go Mod the Classifieds or something!
...this is still a Ford enthusiast site. Feel free to click the red 'x' in your browser window and STFU. Thanks.[/align]I'm probably gonna get banned for this![/align]
Yet in every post that mentions an LS1 it's you who comes and says "watch out the LS1 can never loose" "the LS1 guys will be here any minute to call BS". If you did'nt make such dumb statments, which are clearly meant to start trouble. I know very well what an lS1 car is capible of and I know very well that they (including mine) are not the fastest things out there. I can promise I have owned more cars than just about on here and some of them would flat out whip my Camaro. Like I said before, the slow guys always cry the loudest.

Generally, the old LS1 will spank all our GT's and Mach's.
Everyone knows it, that's why SOME LS1 owners are obnoxious.

Eh, maybe "edge out" rather than "spank." All else equal, of course. Astick-shifted 3V or 4V will give me a good run.

I never roll up next to a 3 or 4V and think easy kill... I always know I have my work cut out and depending on what I am lined up with I know if I should expect to win or lose.... everything after that just happens.

my first race ever in my mach was against a ls1 (i was so happy what are the odds). i was in LA at ariund 12 am, i had my gf in the car goin home. i was in the left lane about to turn. across the street there was this copper colored SS with chrome corvette rims, looked pretty nice. he was at a gas station and as he was about to pull out, he saw me, u-turned and got set up to pull out on the same street i would be turning on. i try to teach my gf things about cars all the time but its difficult, i told her "that is the ss camaro, the fast one, look, you can tell he wants to race me, he' waiting for me." (u could tell he was an antsy/agressive driver, every little move he made was quick and xagerateda hemoved around in the gas station.as my light turned green, i got to second in the middle of the intersection. as i straightened up, he pulled around me. I didnt wait to honk, i didnt signal, or nothin i just punched it and he did too at relatively the sam time. mach owners no what happens when you floor it at 30-40mph in scond gear, the car leaps quick!! i went to third and pulled a car on him with my shift and i just left it there untill redline, he wasnt pulling on me but i wasn't leaving him, we stayed even after i gained a car on him. i just let off after that, gas is too expensive and he wasn't pulling, plus my gf was gripping the seat telling me to slow down.

The race was over and he pulls up next to me and revs hard again!! i told my gf, he just got dealt with and he's coming up beside me reving to restore any dignity i give him, i didnt rev back, he knew what was up, he didnt really want it again, i let him go in front of me so he could see what its like, his license plate said race or die, well i guesshesays it all ---> [sm=owned.gif]

QUESTION: why do maro owners insist on insulting our stangs? "rustangs" "mustinks" "mustangs get walked by maro's any day of the week, what day was that then? havent they heard of a mach, 4v's or cobras?4v's are notpunk engines, either are ls1's butafter my experience, ls1's are nothing to fear. i dont no why i used to, i guess the name carries a lot ofconotation.

give respect to all american muscle, give hell to all who challenge
if you honked, he would have been next to you the entire time, you won per say, but you dont really have a reason to sound cocky about it.

just because he "rev'd" you doesnt mean hes calling your car a rustang... why do people think that? maybe it was just to say "good run" or something. and ive never heard mustinks come from a camaro driver, or anyone for that matter.

people argue because thats the fun. what kinda challenge or rivalry would it be if everyone was like "your car is better then mine!" wouldnt make much fun. people talk ****, just because they do doesnt mean they mean it. me and my friends talk crap all the time, we all know our cars are about even, but why not have some fun.

and as far as the owned thing... you didnt... you just had control over when the race started, and decided to jump without letting him have a fair chance.

not to rain on ur glory or anything, but you complaining about him being cocky... yet your being no different.

i said yesterday that they are the same thing one just looks better, lets not back track please read before trying to add two cents already collected by people inputing before you

i saw all that rustangs and mustinks thing on a camaro forum (told u imma fan of maro's i almost got a black ss but i wanted a 35 anniversary, couldnt find it), thought it was dumb, i mean i dont care to argue but about actual races not with what COULD happen we all no what could happen, this is personal experience, this is the fun part, the actual experience, not theoretical

and if your gonna put numbers done on stock cars put a link down like motor trend or car and driver so we can look at it without any doubtother wise your not supporting your argument (not to say that its not true but why should we believe you?). im not aware of who your aware of thats not good enough to persuade the audience that the cooler looking one is not the faster one. i say they are the same,because i have been persuaded by maro owner they are. (givin my lack of knowledge of the maro, i trust someone who owns it over me because they provided valid argument they are the same) butyou say the z28 is faster? you really have to back that up or no one is gonna be aware your talking.

mach1 have gone 13.2 motor trend, of course some may have gone faster but well stick to the pro's unless you got a timeslip with a stock car
