L98 Vette's vs L98 Camaro's
how do the vette's run next to the camaro's i'm sure they win but by how much. i'm wondering because i am considering buying one from somebody i know and just wondered how they would compare to the power of my 89 Iroc. thanks

The Vettes are usuall about a half second quicker mod for mod. Once the mods become more and more, the Vettes seem to respond better also! I say go for the Vette, but you are on an Fbody site, so see what everyone else thinks!

The Vettes got a little more hp and they are lighter. As far as I know that's about all they got. Mod for mod, like said, the Vette is still probably going to be just a few tenths quicker at the most.

Car: 2006 Corvette
Engine: LS2
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3.42s
100% bone stock my 89' Corvette auto went 13.90 at 99.80 mph with a 2.04 60ft (i dug up all my old timeslips from when i first bought the car).
heres what i did to improve performance with timeslip results:
- flowmaster cat back : 13.88 at 99.84 w 2.10 60ft
- cut air lid & K&N : 13.69 at 100.85 w 1.98 60ft
- free mods, airfoil, AFPR : 13.44 at 102.51 w 1.94 60ft
- front ypipe, DRs : 13.20 at 104.22 w 1.89 60ft
the major differences between Vettes and B2L Camaros are the aluminum cylinder heads, better air intake and exhaust, wider tires, and of course, lighter weight. these things give the L98 Vette a performance advantage over a 350 Z

you don't have headers?
you think you'll be in the 12s with headers?
damm maybe I should have bought a vette.... (thought about it) but that would have been about another $4K for a good one.
later
biker
maybe I'll get a LT1 in a few years.....
BTW are you going to the third gen nats?

Get the IROC! They look better and are cheaper to maintain and insure 
and T-tops are cooler than a targa top! Either way it doesn't take much for either of those cars to get fast, but I beat out an 86 Vette from a 30 MPH punch to 100 by about half a car but his was an auto.
