The 5.0 driver heard my loose idler pulley and got scared... Well it was either that or the fresh set of rear tires I had just put on.

Stories gay.

LS1 in front of me on back road. He floors it, I floor it. I find myself trying to buff the scratches out of his taillights. Thats the most interesting I can make it.

You might find interesting, comming down Rt. 83 in PA last week came up next to a Termi. Didn't want to play

Guy in the ls1 either couldnt drive or was still completely stock or a auto perhaps.

I want to race the cobra around the corner from where i work, he has crappy tires and cant drive, i figure its a good combination.

Really? Trying to start an argument? Please don't feed TransamWS6.

I have never even hinted the new 5.0 was a better engine then my LS1. But stock it is faster. And when I drove the big 3 (Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang) it was in a BIG way the better car.

Bolt on LS1 = Stock 5.0

He said it was stock in his original post.

I'd like to take a ride in a new stang. My brother had an 85 that I was in love with back then but the changes ford made after then went downhill in a hurry. The last stang I rode in was ~93-94 and it was like riding in a tuna can. It's taken the stang guys 12 years to have a N/A engine that can run with an LS1. Meanwhile GM supercharged an LS series motor and look what it's doing. It would be like me bragging that my 98 LS1 is faster than the 86 GT's stock for stock.....which it is.....by bus lengths.
So I guess congrats on the kill and welcome to 12 years ago.

**ssgtcarroll** · 07-13-2010, 04:37 PM

Thanks haha.

Whats your opinion on it being faster then the 2010 Camaro though?

What about the Mach 1's? The 99-01 Cobra? Those were N/A and were on par with the LS1 stock for stock.

No offence but cost alot more too.

I stand corrected a Mach 1 was about the same price as a Loaded SS

I still beat the 99 Cobra with my 93 Vette with bald tires... So I am more then sure an LS1 car would take one.

I think that is arguable too but let's say I give you that. Then we have to factor in that they weren't base GT's which is what we're talking about here. Since there were only base f-bodies then lets look at the LS6 motors in the vettes or even the firehawks. Stock for stock GM wins those races. The only model N/A that would even be a race is the 03-04 mach 1's and even then I think most 98 f-bodies would still take them on the street and you're still talking 5-6 years later.

The 99-01 Cobra was as well. According to the 1999 Road & Track Magazine I have on my desk, a fully loaded SS back in 99' was $27,466 vs. the Cobra's $28,190, fully loaded. Basically in the same price range.

No excuse, but my personnel opinion (Nothing to do with performance) The new Maros are uglier then sin

I haven't heard enough on the streets to definitely say they're gonna win that race everytime. The Camaro is only a Camaro by name...completely different platform. It's closer to a cadillac than an f-body. How many lb's did the new camaro pick up? What would that engine do transplanted into a true f-body?
