Car: 92 Mustang Coupe/89 Camaro RS
Engine: 5.0 carb'd/305
Transmission: T5/T5
Axle/Gears: 3.73 and stock TrakLok/stock GM
I assume you wanna know if you'll win...

Mustang - Those cars are total turds. Even slower than their GT relatives and I never thought that was possible Seriously, launch well and you'll win this one by a few cars minimum. I used to ***** pre-05's in my LO3...bone stock indeed

Camaro: Itll give you a run for your money but in the end, you should pull out the victor......

Get the holeshot is what matters. LO3's have the low end torque to their advantage. Launch good and dont spin and youll win both.....then go home and blueprint a bigger motor like 350+ cubic inches to drop in there

Out of that group of cars the LO3 should be significantly faster.

Then he would lose and his car wouldn't run. An LO3 is not so much faster that we can make such bold comments.
