V6 Camaros killing 5.0's regularly?

fastang · 12-26-2000, 12:51 PM

At LS1.com there are two different posts about six cyl camaros (even a 91) and firebirds whooping on 5.0's like it aint no thang. Look under "The one that didnt get away" One guy even claims that he whooped on a 99-01 GT repeatedly, even from a roll. LS1 camaros are fast, but even their ego is starting to grow like a fungus.

the newer v-6's had some power(215) but they are shy on power and weigh more..they would need to be modded..but even then..how many bone stock 5.0's are rolling around..was prolly a fluke or he is a troll

This guys full of **** . He's probably just trying to tell som fake stories just to look cool. I think it's funny, because those guys didn't believe him either, if you pay attention to his details it's funny as hell. But when I had my 89 4 cyl. I smoked an SS 6-speed not once but twice, I mean 3 times.

It is just people trying to make themselves feel better and look good in front of their v8 crapmero bothers.

We have two local guys running 13.X (best is 13.6) with headers, gears and nitrous on their automatic V6 firebirds. (sorry no crapmaros

) Should be interesting to see what these guys do with converters once they get them.

fastang · 12-28-2000, 01:24 PM

Yeah, with GEARS and NITROUS! Nothing evens up the score like a 200 shot and some 410's. Put that crap on my car and I show you a low 11 - high 10. OR put that same crap on a real crapmaro...an LS1.

Maybe it was a 6 banger with 5.0/GT badges... I've seen a few, as well as a few 6 banger camaro's with Z28 badges...

After reading the post, my guess is he definately couldn't tell the difference. LMAO
No one there, even the camaro guys believes him. He's a serious newbie or probably just trying to start flames...

But remember...everything you read is ALWAYS true!!!!

My stepbrother just got a 2000 V6 Camaro (3800 series, or whatever they call em). I rip his car a new a$$hole. Not exactly, but I definately win, by a lot. I give him the jump, and I FLY past him. He cant do anything about it

LOL, yea ty97, even those gm guys dont beleive him, but he said he killed a v6 stang....possibly yes, then a 99GT, and a 98GT, buhahaha!, but what about 5.0's?

Ty'97Cobra · 01-02-2001, 05:30 PM

From what I've read, don't the new V-6 Camaro's have about 200 hp (Stock)? The 5.0's (Fox) I believe were rated at 225 hp. (Stock). Stock vs stock it should be a good race, but the mustang has a slight hp advantage.

He's updated the post and says it was a "real" 5.0. But if you read his story, a lot of other things don't add up (ie shifting into 5th at 80 and flooring it and pulling with 4 people in the car).

I've seen a Honda Civic beat a viper so whats your point. I don't really see a stock V-seis camaro beating anything with 5 liters even an explorer.

FastBlkz28 · 01-03-2001, 10:41 AM

My friend has a 97 v6 Camaro with intake and exhaust and he beat a v8 mustang. The stang he beat was one of the slowest it was a 95 convertible auto. He would most likely lose to a 5 speed non covertible.

someone needs to raise the BS flag over there on LS1.com. I think it's hilarious how none of the Chevy guys even tried to back him up...

That camaro couldn't get out of the 15's if it was going down hill - was this 5.0 he beat an ol' bone stock 150,000 mile Gt vert with an AOD and 2.73's if so maybe a chance......

FastBlkz28 · 01-03-2001, 10:19 PM

Whats the trap speed of a sn95 vert with a AOD around 90 mph?

90dpscoupe · 01-05-2001, 10:10 PM

Jaydee, i dont see how "150,000" miles would make anything really slower? it depends how ragged it actually is, my car has 160k, runs smooth, and runs impressive times IMO.

But yea a 95Gt vert aod is a bit slow.
