Need some help for a Z vs 2000 Camaro showdown

That may be true but you also have to look at how much track time I have.This past weekend would only make it 3 times that I have ever been to the track to your many passes at CPD. Hopefully next weekend stays clear and sunny so that way I can crush your times into the ground but I don't think I'll get your trap speed.

The rest. Sorry!

Address for the ring?

jtown82 · 09-28-2011, 04:34 PM

Cammed ls1's are no joke. depending on the cam and supporting mods they can be anywhere from mid 12's to a high 11s. around 112-117ish mph.

only fanboy like Methodical4u would believe stock Z can be as fast as a LS1 camaro, or na z has a chance against a LS1 with cams and bolt-ons...

it's not what our cars are for.

Did you even read the whole thread? I'll see what I can do this Friday at the track.

no, but i've raced against plenty of LS1 vettes and camaros to know that they are marginally faster. there are plenty of them with bolt ons trapping over 110 here at Etown. a cammed ls1 camaro will **** on a NA z.

from a fellow z owner to another, best of luck.

I beat a few lax engined cars like gto ws6 with my geared bolt on car.

V8killer is gears and seat time away from a 12.6. ESP with this m et steets I sold him.

I think you just need practice. Last ring and switch for brake light fuse going out tomorrow. Sorry bro

If his friend's car is 200 lbs more and he himself is a rather large 400 lbs though even with the 40 or 50 hp he may have on him may not be enough to overcome that amount of extra weight. I would say it would be a rather close race. Was his friends a MT or AT?

I love reading posts like this :-p

My 2000 Camaro with intake, exhaust and cam, put over 400 to the wheels. And it was a BABY cam.

Why bother with a story about killing cars similar to OP's Z in my F-body? I have not read the other 8 pages and I already know the race either never happened or the 370Z got FI or the 370Z got raped. Let me read and see which one of the above, lol.

ETA:
Well, they never raced, but the SS trapped over 10mph faster and was a second quicker, lol

Nothing was more intimidating for me than seeing an SS or WS6 in my rear view mirror. When I got my Z i'd still get a chill when I saw one... and even with the 5.0 I just assume that any LS1 left on the road is probably modded to hell.

Thanks!

Wish I had mine when the new 5.0's came out.

I'm a fanboy? I've owned 2 Evo's ... 1 of which would have stomped either of the cars in this thread son... don't speak until you know what you're talking about. Maybe you like to hang on the

of LS1 drivers... that's your thing. A straight line is fine until we come up on a few turns too. Like I said before... why don't they do a 1/4 and then a road track and see how things pan out?

Oh and by the way... we have no cams... we haven't even cracked the VVEL and are running low 12's with minimal mods and you're actually comparing this to a V8? Not to mention a V8 that EVERYONE and they Mother has... the Z is a better looking, better quality and overall better car than many of those domestic POS cars.

m4a1mustang · 10-10-2011, 09:28 PM

Low 12s on minimal mods... I wouldn't say that. Jnaut had a bit more than "minimal."

Oh, and the Z does have cams.

Srsly.

Sorry dude, nobody in this thread can talk **** on LSXs. It's seriously one of the best motors of all time, and that's just the truth.

I'm not so much trying to talk down the car... i'm talking to a person who calls me a fanboy.
