was this fair? ls1 vs 5.0 w/ headstart
the other night i was driving home when i pulled behind a fox body 5.0, in left lane of a 2 lane road, traffic to our right. he starts revving up knowing their was nothing i could do. the light turns green and he floors it. i get on it lightly since hes in front and as soon as i cleared traffic on my right i gunned it. within an 1/8 mile i passed him with ease and shutdown. so he had over a full second leap and blew it. should i have given him more time?

My friend with a 3.8 camaro walks those cars like nothing. So he would need a big head start to beat you unless he had some serious mods or a motor swap. Good Kill if you can call that bad of a beating a kill.

Why is it bs? Stock 5.0's run in the 15's just like the 3.8. My friends is a 95 with 3.42's, cai, high flow cat, and cat-back. I know he beats 5.0's because other friends I have is a 86 5.0 auto with cat-back and high flow cats. The 3.8 won by about 7-8 cars in the 1/4. And another 92 or 91 5.0 stick that had full exhaust the 3.8 won by about 1/2 a car. So yes a stock one would be nothing.

for the 86 5.0 gt. It has 200hp stock!!! Oh wait so does the 3.8 with a few more mods and 3.42's. The 91 or 92 gt runs about the same times stock. We also beat 95 or so stock as far as I can see gt's by a few cars. The mustang gt's until 99 were very underpowered but you should know that if you are claiming bs.

First of all thats 86, after that they had 225hp and 300 lb/ft.
"Oh wait so does the 3.8 with a few more mods and 3.42's"
Ya with mods, im comparing stock vs. stock and even with mods...What do gears have to do with hp?
"We also beat 95 or so stock as far as I can see gt's by a few cars"
Your telling me your v6 takes a 215hp/300lb/ft 4.6l v8 car by 3 cars?
"The mustang gt's until 99 were very underpowered"
Ya but they werent V6 slow....
"but you should know that if you are claiming bs."
I dont know what you mean. Also i believe the maro is heavier.
Ive driven v6 fbodies, and dont take this the wrong way but theyre pretty slow. I raced a new ford 3.8 in my buddies firebird 3.8 and the bird was a lil faster, so ill give you that. I have a friend with a 97 GT and im sure it would take quiet a few mods to that v6 to beat him, let alone pull 3 cars on him.

WTF!! That camaro was me and I did beat those cars. Thats all I gotta say for it to be true. I hate how people have no faith in my V6, that is what those stang guys said and I beat them! If you dont want to believe it then dont but im tellin you right now that I beat them.

hey garbage, what badges does the mach 1 have on it? does it say mach 1 on the rear bumper as cobra has? never seen one yet. as far the ongoing v6 vs gt fight, its possible. stock vs stock is not likely. i have beaten my cousins 86gt with my 95 4.3 blazer, but condition were right for me and it wasnt a big win. he kills it the rest of the time. so fight nice.

Manual stock hatch's can/will run low 14's in the 1/4 stock. Notchs will run a tad quicker with a very well driven one dipping into the high 13's.
A well maintained, properly driven 87-93 5.0 manual should have absolutely no problems with a stock v6 maro of any year. A auto should still beat a v6 maro, but it will be closer.

you keep talking about an lx. I said gt and if you look up the numbers on the gt you will see I am right. You can't argue with something that happend in real life stop trying to convince me that what happend couldn't of possibly happend it's stupid.
