You beat ls1 cars in your 305? hehehe. Is it supercharged?
On another note my full bolt on l98 would run side by side my stock ls1 until about 75 mph. After that it was game over. From a roll it wouldnt even be close. tpi has one place and thats at low rpms.
Yes, Supercharged, check out my F-Quick page in my sig.
Yes, Thats my point, until 75+mph its a Thirdgens race. Most steet racing were im from goes from a stop to about 60-80mph. usually a bit shy of an 1/8th mile. By the time the LS1 guy stats pulling the race is over, then comes the r*cer flyby. lol

Yes. LS1 owners are "sheeple" and "little 'car guys'" in "high-school parking lots". You, however, are obviously a worldly, broad-horizoned individual that is accepting and inclusive in nature. Your tolerance and support of fellow enthusiasts is to be lauded and documented.
As has been stated already. Its alot to do with who's driving, what year the 2 cars are, options, ect. There are WAY too many variables to say X is better than Y. I personally have owned 5, 3rd gen F body's, and 6 fox body Mustangs. Bone stock, the Mustang is a faster car....in a straight line atleast. The Camaro handles MUCH better though. Any road or track with curves the Z will take the win. The Z's handling is good even by todays standards. I call the Camaro the better overall car. Because of its looks, and handling, and it still wil perform close to the stang going straight. As far as staying stock atleast. It takes very little to make one beat a stock 5.0 too. Going modified, I have to give it to the 5.0 though. Bang for the buck(as far as performance) there is no car that can beat a fox mustang.

This is true if the ls1 is stock, or only has a few bolt ons. The tpi on my l98 was completely maxed out too.

Back in the day, I had three 5.0 Mustangs. My main 5.0 was bolt-on built, it was an 88 and I knew how to drive it. There was a guy in a white 91-92 5.7 that I never beat. He would get me shortly after the hole and walk on me pretty good.
Yeah, the 91-92 cars seemed to be a little quicker than the older ones. I think they gained some HP in 91. Not positive on that. The 86-89 stangs definately dont respond to mods as well as the mass air cars either. Thats usually the first mod they make to them. A mass air conversion. Thats another example of why you can really say which was faster. It really depends on what year/model/options each car has.
Sorry, ran across this thread late. I have an 84 z28 with the l69 305 and a t-5, stock 3.73's. I don't seem to have a problem with the 5.0's. I can't say I totally dominate them but the fact my little 190 hp engine can beat one makes me happy. Now the 4.6's are a different story. That was back before I had my 670 holley, Long tubes, 3 inch exaust, and performer rpm intake. It's not much of a race anymore.
i like this thread lol. all other ones iv been to talking about stangs and camaros, just get overwhelming with damn near EVERYONE saying stock camaros cant hang with stock mustangs. iv smoked fox bodys in my 305 iroc. hell i might have posted in here already lol.

You're right, 4.6's are a whole different story, a very SAD story.
"I have a 96 gt 5 speed. with a bbk cold air intake, trickflow 75 mm throttle body and plentum, npi intake with alum. crossover, underdrive pullies, jet performance chip, steeda short throw shifter, 3.73 gears and 315/35/17 BFG Drag Radial.
Better than my top speed. According to the magazine on here my car tops out at 136. I have no idea personally if my car reaches that due to my spedo only going to 85....sigh
That's weird. The 4.6's around here are all decently modded and I have to admit the are decently fast. Most of them are around lt1 status. I can't believe with those mods you only pull 9.3's. THat's crazy. If I could launch hard I'd be able to match that easily I bet. Unfortunatly I can only run a 9.6 before the LT's and exaust. Stupid t-5 can't handle radials or 3K launches.
......as with 3rd gens, fox body's,and about every other car. The 4.6 stangs are not created equal. 96 was a bad year....very bad year. On the other hand. If you want to build a 1000 HP mod motor stang, you have a REALLY strong block. The rods, not so much, but your block is about,if not the strongest one out there.
