thanks

 

Hmmm.....

The SS has a Chevy bowtie and the WS6 TA has a Pontiac dart and there you have it!

 

lol, actually, I dont think the ws6 has the dart logo on it ;p

 

Well there you have it WS6 is faster.

 

Just on the wheels (01+), steering wheel, and under the hood. Oh, and the WS6 owns ALL.

 

I didnt write the article, I'm just telling you from memory what it said. So don't be a jackass by rolling your eyes

PS, I didnt say ws6 ... it could have been a formula.

 

In fact, Mr. eyeroller. Here is the camaro clip of the article:

"This Camaro SS, powered by the same 320-hp LS1 V8 as our Pontiac Firebird Formula WS-6, ran a 13.42 at 106.15 mph - more than quick enough to beat archrival Mustang and assure its place on the quickest-Camaros-of-all-time list. However, it's not even close to the blistering time delivered by the Pontiac. Why?

The answer, again, is traction. The Camaro is very difficult to launch cleanly. Too many revs, like anything over 1500, and the tires go up in smoke for all of First gear. Too few and the car bogs. The Firebird, however, is very easy to launch. Tach up to 2500 rpm, ride the clutch just a bit and you're out of there. Why the difference between the two seemingly identical cars? That's like asking why two socks go in the laundry and only one comes out. It's one of the mysteries of the world, especially when you consider that both cars wear the same-size Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, have the same engine, same gearing, etc.

Despite being slower than its GM brother, the Camaro is still one of the most fun cars to blast down the track thanks to its awesome engine, its strong clutch, its short throw shifter and its musclecar soundtrack. This car rumbles up to the line. It launches with a roar from its two exhaust pipes and it sounds like Steve McQueen's Mustang running after that Dodge Charger on the gear changes."

You like fruit? How 'bout them apples?

 

Yes, you pointed out ONE magazine article in which the Firebird finished ahead of the Camaro. Are you saying you didn't imply that as the Firebird being faster? Why else would you mention it?

I am sure lots of magazines also ran a Camaro faster then a Firebird, comes down to the driver.

 

The last article I saw listed the SS ahead of the WS6 on a road course because it handled the turns better. They said it had something to do with the WS6 being a little heavier (especially in the nose of the car). However, in straight line acceleration, the WS6 edges out the SS because of it's more efficient/direct intake. Other than that, they're the same car with different skins inside and out...

 

same car

 

Same car except one looks like a catfish and the other a gorilla.

 

I've thought the same thing.

 

lol, its just one for the ages ... like "is pepsi better than coke"?

 

wow im surprised this didnt get locked yet

 

I knew it wasn't just me
