It doesn't really matter. You're trying to compare apples to oranges. The majority of the time, when I'm at the track, I have no idea who or what car is beside me. I just race.

tealcamaromanrs

i hear ya itll still be fun no matter what ...just was wonderin seems all my buddys have stangs..and talk alot of crap..i guess if i lose thats a good excuse to save some money and dump it in to the ride!!!

AlkyIROC

Chances are, you're going to lose. The fox body has a huge weight advantage over a third gen so they don't need as much power to go just as fast.

tealcamaromanrs

i thought the weight was only differnent by 200 or so

My brothers '83 fox weighed about 400 less than my '85 Z28, when both were stock, but now I have done about 300 pounds of weight reduction to help even things out. My car when it was stock weighed 3,260lbs, my brothers fox weighed 2,8xxlbs, but it had very few options, no A/C, four speed manual... about the only options it has is GT and T-tops.

Not that it matters since genital size will remain the same after the race as they were before, but i'll take the rustang for the simple fact: auto tranny

All these years i'me yet to see anybody consistently hit all the gears all the time...there's ALOT of margin for error and manual drivers always seem to exploit it LOL!! Then there's the whole issue of the stick guy even getting it off the line consistantly hooking....

tealcamaromanrs

well i dont know too much about this stuff but he doesnt have a stall coverter so wont he also have so issues??..............so your saying if i was to shift perfect i might win.that good enough in my book

AlkyIROC

Yes he does. All torque converters stall. His might just be a stock stall but it still stalls.

tealcamaromanrs

like i said i really dont know much about it .......if he floors it wouldent his tires just spin and if hes to easy wouldent the tranny want to shift???

my buddy has 5spd convertible mustang with stock heads, a very tiny cam, and all the other basic boltons and a set of nitto drag radials. It's been 13.0 on motor and well into the 12's on a small shot of spray. What I'm trying to say here is... a 5.0 Mustang responds much better to basic modifications than a 3rd gen's 5.7TPI motor. In the end a chevy motor (at it's core) is superior but when it comes to the "bolt-on" type cars the Mustang will win.

If your buddy has aftermarket heads he most likely also has an aftermarket cam so that car could easily be in the 12's whereas your camaro would be lucky to run 13's.

idk about that i no a guy wit a fox body wit heads and cam slick pizza cutters up from 5 speed 4.30 gears gutted about 2200 all motor is 12.80's and on 150 is only 11.80's. my friends bone stock lt1 from dig drove around the guy b4 he did wieght reduction and slicks. i got a bunch of 5.slow friends and there cars r not impressive at all i think it will be a close race

tealcamaromanrs

lol just dont roll race him and it should be a good race and if all else fails nitrous it is lol

tealcamaromanrs

well i got my car all together a couple moths ago and he didnt end up doin any upgrades to his, he still wants to race but we just gotta get some time to meet up and runem..ohh i got a few more upgrades..Edlebrock runners and tpis lower intake both siamezed......and i got a pbr 9-bolt rear 3.27 gears.i think i am gonna smoke him,lol...well see, for now its just a bunch trash talk

RS Chris

So wait does he have aftermarket heads or not? It sounds like a close race but I have to give it to the Mustang. The auto gives him less chance to make a mistake and its lighter. Godd luck and let us know the outcome.

tealcamaromanrs

well hes got the heads but there not on yet and hes not sure if hes gonna put them on his vert
