Either way,the LT1 feels like it has a lot more torque than the 4.6.I was not that impressed with his car when he took me out for a ride.I busted his ***** a bit.Shouldnt we be comparing same year cars anyhow?Wait we cant do that Camaro wins every time.93-02 Z28/SS VS GT/COBRA

 

^^^ Yes, as long as they are both good drivers. If the Mustang has a better drive it will win more than 50% of the time. just my .02

 

Not going back into this argument again...FYI 96-97 Cobras were faster then the same year LT1's. They definately trapped more. All is irrelevent anyway...LT1 hasnt been made in over ten years and the Terminators stomp Ls1's and LS2's.

 

Disagree.The Camaro SS(LT1)is faster.

 

The SS has a freaking ram air, ooooooooo and an exhaust. The lt1 was a good car, I owned 1. But it was even with the 2v GTs most of the time, hell I lost once to a 01 GT and he was stock to the paper filter. I had a CAI and magnaflow. He was just a hell of a good driver.

Its close enough that if the other driver is that much better than you, you may as well stick your head in your *** cause you are getting stomped.

Both cars are quite outclassed by todays standards but there are a few die hards out there. At least the lt1 has a following. The 2v is blower or swap to 4v. Hell with a set of cams, nice suspension and bolt-ons you can hit 11s, but no one tries anymore. We don't even have after market head castings! Our intake selection took 11 years to catch on, ect, ect, ect.

Oh and I love the Camaro to death and hope to get an 09 but it better be packing some heat as that Shelby SS is gonna pack one hell of a punch.

 

Here is a good one I found.A Camaro SS smoking a Cobra on a mustang website comparisonhttp://http://www.stangbangers.com/9...rd_Article.htm

 

Wow that's awesome thanks for that link Was it an LT1 racing the Cobra?

 

It feels like it has more torque then the 4.6 SOHC probably because it does? I don't know though I'm only guessing ya know?

 

While I would typically agree with you .... I'm having a hard time this time around. When my turd was bone stock down to the paper filter I ran 14.2@97 mph. My close friends similar year LT1 ran around the same ET but a little more mph. It was certainly a drivers race. Perhaps Glen (who does sometimes post on this site and owned the LT1) would come on here and vouch for me.... who knows, I've seen weird'er things happen.

I say it's a drivers race.

 

Yes I mean "MY" stock 98 when it had the whopping 225hp to the flywheel and yes it ran 14.2@97 at Cecil county back in 1998 I have no reason to lie and it doesn't benefit me at all now, does it? Hell, I thought it was wrong too cause the car was a heavy turd. LOL.

I still say a DECENTLY driven STOCK 2v is a great match for a stock LT1. I still say it's a drivers race and have proven it.

BTW, I agree with you 100% that 96-98 were the worst years for the 2v, however, once you start modifying like I have, the game is different.

Also just to note and not that it's a significant difference but the 96 and 97 2V's had 215hp ... the 98 had a whopping 225hp mostly due to computer tuning from Furd. Also to note, the 98 was the "bastard" year and it's obvious Furd planned on the "returnless" fuel system already becuase the fuel bucket in the 98 is a bastard'ized thing and looks like ford started but didn't go all the way with returnless ---- whew aren't I glad?

 

I will agree that Tims case is unusual from what I have seen and heard but the PI cars did actually run quite well with the lt1s. The 96-98 cars I have seen usually hit around mid 14s to low 15s, but hell we have LT1s that have hit 13.5 stock so why not ford having a few ringers.

I personally know that the guy who beat me was stock(completely) and ran a 13.8 in his 01 GT. I have heard of a few people hitting lower as well.

If there are any near stock LT1s in Rochester or Buffalo NY I'll gladly run them to prove my point. (Gears are not in).

 

I ran 14.2@97 one time bone stock. All of my other runs bone stock were in the 14.4 and above range.

 

98-04 gt's are pretty close to lt1's even though they are newer and more modernized, everyone and their mom and dog and cat knows the 96-98 gt's dont stand a chance stock for stock race after race vs any of the v8 fbodies. ls1 z28's and ss's? haha goodbye. now im not commparing the ls1 to all the blown stangs and ones that are made to compete with vettes so dont get me twizted

 

yea sorry lol

 

hey sslither your cardomain link in your profile isn't working correctly, is there another way to get to it?
