If anything, the auto will hurt more than just being a vert. The weight difference between a vert and a coupe isn't much. Even still, an auto with 3.73s compared to the auto LT1 should really make up for it being an auto and a vert. Add in the full exhaust, UDPs, CAI, and upper/lower intake, along with the nitrous, I think the OP should have this.

The5.0 has it bigtime IMO. Yea, the auto sucks, but it doesn't take much to wake up afox body and the OP has some good mods. I think an a straight 1/4 mile race or shorter, the OP has it. Let us know what happens man!!

Yeah, I think all his mods should be able to have him edge the LT1 out, or atleast I hope so. It's going to be close, but I bet the GT will win by a car or two. Not any more, as long as the Z28 gets traction. They should be a couple of low-mid 14 second cars.

I would give the nod to the 5.0, with his intake/exhaust work, gears, and spray. Run with the top down, to even it out.[8D]

OP: with your internal motor work, are you sure it isn't cammed or have head work as well?

deff. 5.0. he has a lot of regular bolt ons that actually give him probably about 250hp N/A, add 3.73's and a 75 shot he has the win easy.

Those LT1's are mean. With your mods you should beat him. Let us know how bad you beat him when you guys race.

Mustangs have a better seat of the pants feel that Camaros do for some reason. So, whether your car is faster or not, it's going to feel like it. But, I still bet you'll be him by a car or two if you do race.

Just run him... from memory an Auto Vert 5.0 in that body was rated mid to upper 15s stock (i've seen 16.1 even)... so it might be close if he is bone stock and you have the mods listed.
