Are A4 Camaro Z28 slow?

White Cobra · 07-23-2006, 04:48 AM

Hi folks

I think my title is enough. ^^ Oh i talk about a 1998 LS1 Camaro Z28 and I compare them with a M6 Camaro from 1998.

Thanks for answers

Stock for stock = yes unless the A4 is a freak.

he means unless it has a stall and firmed shift points, which means it suffers lessof a power loss and therefore will outshift a Manual 6spd

if you are comparing them to your car, dont race one for money if you are stock

OK OK... so you say a A4 LS1 shifts faster than a M6 LS1 F-Body?

I'm selling my car and will buy a 01-02 T/A WS6 ^^

Thats not what he said.

Stock for Stock a A4 is usually slower than a M6.

I think A4's are better from a stop, and M6's are better from a roll.

I drag race so I like A4's. And I don't think my A4 is too slow.

@Ed Blown Vert

You must have a strong Shifter... with that kind of RWHP & RWTQ!! =D

@daveb91
Than i said the other? M6 faster than A4?

bene · 07-23-2006, 08:41 PM

Like everyone mention M6 is faster than A4, a tad slower.

Now that is my kind of a freak!!!

STOCK1SC · 07-24-2006, 08:45 AM

From a roll the M6 will crush the auto, from a dead stop if you are a good driver the manual will be faster. I had a guy with an 01 ram air TA with an auto and 3.23's and from a roll of about 5mph-10mph I pulled pretty well on him, by 90 it was a car and a half at least. We were both stock at the time. If your going to be a drag strip warrior get the auto and throw a stall in it and you'll beat M6's with regularity plus you'll be more consistent. Street only get the manual!

ss~zoso~ss · 07-24-2006, 08:13 PM

or if you are going for good gas mileage for the power say, get the six speed

White Cobra · 07-26-2006, 01:42 AM

Hmmm... i would install a 408 Stroker engine soon as i get a T/A WS6 ^^ So what is better than?

Hot Black Trans-Am · 07-26-2006, 03:46 AM

It still depends on what you want to use the car for. Do you want mainly street or strip? I recommend M6, but if you really want to be competitve at the strip go for a built A4.

White Cobra · 07-26-2006, 03:57 AM

It will be a street/weekend car. Just fun... not often i will go to a drag strip.

hmmmm... what is with a 1998 Chevi Camaro SS A4? Are they fast on the street? Because there is one SS here in my Country. Are they A4 SS fast? =) Shall be a LS1 beause it's a 98.

Hot Black Trans-Am · 07-26-2006, 04:04 AM

I definitely say go with the M6. It should beat that SS if it is stock. The SS package will make it a bit closer than if it was just a Z-28 due to a little extra power.

98-LS1 · 07-26-2006, 05:22 AM

My auto is definately not slow but suffers against the M6 cars on the interstate, It tends to run out of gear sooner. From a light I can usually pull a similar modded 6 speed just because I can come out of the light fairly hard without roasting the tires off. It will though if I mat it, I still prefer a 6 speed over an auto.

SS SLP2 · 07-26-2006, 06:55 AM

stock for stock, mod for mod a4 is quicker (et)( and consistent), m6 is faster (mph), ( by 3-5 mph) m6 is fun to drive ( jerk) around town, a4 best out of the hole,m6 fron a roll
just my $.02' Johnny
