|  Weight and times for early 90's camaro A new kid was hired at my work. He has a early 90's (90 or 91) Camaro. I don't know if it's a Z28, but this is what I do know: It has a 305 with 130k miles on it and an automatic. The only work done to it is exhaust. Now, the kid said he runs 14.9's with just the exhaust. He also said that the car weighs 2100 lbs!?!  I know this cant be right. When he said it, I just kept to myself and nodded my head.My questions are, how much does his car really weigh? and is his car really capeable of a 14.9?? I want to build his confidence and get him to race me. Even if he runs a 14.9, I think I could take him without much of a problem.

| That kid is a comedian! 2100 pounds when he is smokin' crack maybe. I believe they are around 3500 stock. And a 14.9 with the auto maybe if he has the 3.42's and sticky tires. Lay down some cash and run him!

|  You could beat that kid with a flat tire! He must be really young and has lived a sheltered life.

| Agreed, its really around a 3200-3300 lb car. A AUTO 305 w/ that many miles goes low 16's high 15's. I know from first hand experience. I wouldnt worry about it whatsoever. Skyler

| What about the early 90's 5.7 liter camaro's? I'm guessing the high 14's or so? I know a guy with one who may be interested in a little stoplight duel. Not sure if it's a auto or a stick though, but he's almost bone stock and getting up there on the odometer. I'm not worried about him, but a little background info never hurts. *** Hey Sky...I know this is unrealated but I love the latest addition to to the sig. [ME: "3 Chicken Soft tacos." Tacobell DriveThru: "All I hear is a motor."] That's hillarious...can't even begin to count how many times I've been told "Could you please shut off your car? I'm having trouble hearing your order" A problem ricers can only wish they had..lol..later

| not worried Sky, Your sig had me rolling on the floor laughing. That's hilarious .I'm not worried about the camaro. I just wanted to get some info on it and get it's "real" weight. The kid is trying to sell it to buy a neon so he can rice it up  . I'm going to see if he can hang on to it for a month or so. I'll try and set up a race for April sometime and post the results if/when it happens.Thanks for the info guys!!

| An earlier RS with a 305 weighs around 3200-3300. An L98 car in the early 90's can run pretty quick. My friends 1991 Formula 350 went 14.40's @ 98 completely stock. An SLP exhaust, pulleys, and an air filter got him 13.80's @ 100-101. Pretty impressive really. |

| One thing to remember, all 350 turd gens were automatics from the factory. The t5 was only available behind the 305 or 6 banger. Of course, it's easy to swap in a manual, but if you know a car is a mostly stock 350, you also know it's an automatic.
