If you wanna run with the newer body style Camaros, you should get an 03/04 Cobra, or a Mach 1, or the new GT. If you get a GT like your friend, your gonna have to spend some money to be close to a 98 and up Camaro. Hope you get a Stang real soon.

 

dont forget alot of the 98+ ls1's are old enough now that many people have them modded, so dont expect a brand new stock gt to keep up really.

 

Very good point. I have a new GT and I don't see that stock for stock these cars can keep up with F-bodies. I still think the 3v is a little slower than the LS1 F-bodies. The LS1 GTO is a little slower than the 3vs stock for stock.

 

Or do what I did. Buy a fox for anywhere from 2000 to 4000 and boost it. You'll save money and be faster. Think about it. If you want to go with the round body you couldn't go wrong with an 03/04 Cobra.

 

Someday I would like to do what you've done. How much power are you making and what kind of 1/4 mile times do you run?
