definately commas, i thought it was just me who wasnt gonna get it

to put it clearly, the ws6/ss's had 15hp more cuz of ram air, which didnt come until excess speeds of 60mph+

the firehawks are the fastest i know that, depends man, which car has stick, which has auto...ya know??? 15hp is not hard to make up in a street race

yeah, what Curt said. I know for a fact that Firehawks get SLP exhaust from the factory. They might also get better gears, and are lighter. Therefore Firehawk vs. anything = Firehawk. As for all the other matchups, just know that Z28 vs T/A of same year is a drivers race if they have the same engine. You need a lot more info on all those cars. If you pick a firebird t/a and a camaro Z28 of the same year with all the same options and everything it is a driver's race. The SS was an upgraded Z28 with, like said before, 15 more hp at high speeds. Same with the WS6 ram air, just a different company. Aerodynamics and weights will be different but it will always be a drivers race. Pick two cars, give yrs, options, and type and it will be much easier.

What is the LH0 and LU5 motors, I think the LU5 is the crossfire, what is the other?

yes, LU5 is the crossfire motor mark and LH0 is the 3.1 liter v6 from the rs.

oh ok, cause I didn't see the RS listed at first and I couldn't think of a V8 with the LH0 code.

You know for all the LS1 cars, you could see a regular old Z28 that would beat all of them. The horsepower that those things put down are so random it's not even funny. Sure, the firehawks supposed to be able to beat all of them with all that new stuff they stick on. But, sometimes a regular Z28 will put down anywhere from 280(which is the lowest I have seen) to 315+ hp to the wheels where as the firehawk will put down about the same. The SS and WS6 packages really aren't any faster than the base model Z28's and T/A's. You have a better chance I think that the firehawk would put down the most but you never know. If any of you guys don't believe this, go to LS1.com or camaroz28.com and ask around.
