Black- 2002 Camaro SS SLP
The LS1 engine initially produced 345 hp, but that was increased slightly in 2001 to 350 hp (261 kW). So in other words, they have the Same power, a 99 would have 345hp and the camaro is bout the same, this might sound stupid, but i would put my money on a SS, just because all the races i have seen, ''stock vs stock'' camaro ss vs c5 vette, the camaro is just as good or better.

Red- 1998 Camaro SS
But off the line the live axle F-body can launch harder then the IR Corvette. Tho with the weight difference and the slightly better areo of the Corvette I'd vote for the vette. Its like any close race tho, if either driver makes any mistakes then the other car well win.

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
The Corvette would win in a stock vs stock configuration.
FYI: Your SS does not make 345 hp at the wheels. That's a marketing ploy. Even with every option SLP has I don't believe it comes to 345rwhp. You have to step up to the "tuner" cars (Berger, ect) to achieve that. The Camaro (Z28 and SS) has the same engine as a Vette (LS1 not the FRC LS6) but the exhaust is more restrictive and (depending on options) weighs up to 400 lbs more. I gonna guess that it would take a very skilled driver in a Camaro to beat even a semi-experienced Vette driver in the 1/4 mile.
While the Camaro is quite a capable handling car the disadvantage would be even greater in a slalom event.
Once again this is a stock vs stock configuration.Last edited by 67CamaroRSSS; 06-06-2008 at 09:16 AM.

Black- 2000 Camaro SS
Well i say if its from a dig i give it to the SS considering the facts that they have the same power but here comes the but
1> Gearing the vette has longer gears and the SS should have 3.23 were the vette might have something in the 2.xx (Advantage SS)
2> Rear end - the SS has a solid rear end which should make it easier to launch and should be able to launch harder
3> The SS will/should have more RWHP as they dont lose as much as the vette
From a dig i say the ss gets to the end of the 1/4 faster.... just my .02

negative ghostrider, that would be the 01 and i think 02 zo6
fall 2008 duh!!!! ZR1!!!
i ran a stock 04 c5 auto right after i had my car and i won. also ran my buds 00 c5 auto on the highway with my 300lb bud and i beat him as well, that was pre-ram air LT's, tune, pro 5.0, and SFC.
but my money still goes on the vette considering the weight difference. also the c5 irs is damn tough and prolly ALOT stronger than our crappy 10bolt2002 Z28 M6, Suncoast Creations ram air, port/polish TB w/ bypass and bumpstop, heater hose mod, stainless steel long tubes, ORY w/ dual cutouts, Magnaflow, BMR SFC, UMI Torque Arm, LS7 clutch w/ drill mod, Pro 5.0 w/ Lous short stick, MSD wires, 4.10s, good maintenancehttp://www.fquick.com/blue02z
