1992 350 cubic inch stock z-28 auto camaro vs. a 94-95 5.0 GT manual. Who would win? should be a very close race right?

Thank you - Pete

 

Camaro easily. Those last 5.0's were dogs.

 

Stock 5.0 '94 - ' 95 GT's arn't something you'll have to worry about (high 14 to low 15 sec cars I believe).

'91 - '92 350 TPI sd Z-28 vs. '88 - '93 LX/GT = Depends whos the better driver.
'91 - '92 350 TPI sd Z-28 vs. '94 - '98 GT = Z-28.
'91 - '92 350 TPI sd Z-28 vs. '99 - '04+ = Close race but the GT takes the win, unless he can't drive.

 

I agree..........you should have him

 

Yeah don't even worry about it, those 5.0 mustangs are pos's, they only have a like 220 horses compared to your 350 w/ probably around 240hp, so you'll probably kill him!!! Don't Worry, but thanks for the laught anyways!!!

 

If only GM had of offered a decent manual tranny for the 350 TPI cars. Then all this talk of 5.0 stangs being superior from 87+ would never have seen the light of day. Even saddled with an auto the 350 TPI was at least good competition for the 5.0s year for year... Stupid GM...

 

Dude your z is a low 14 second car, and that gt is a mid 15 second car, that model gt is slow i used to kill my my friends 94 gt when it was stock with headers and a full exhuast w/ no cats. Sure your Z only has like 20 more hp but you have like 50 more ft lbs of torque and I think that year stang weighed a good amount. Go ahead and smoke him.

 

Should be a decent race, with you winning. That car is anywhere from a mid 14 second car to a mid to high 15 second car. It all lies on the driver because it is a stick. And we all know a lot of people are afraid to actually DRIVE their cars (we call them pu$$ies).

Also thank *** we got sticks. Autos suck, I would never race one, even if it was faster. Real Race cars have 3 pedals (I really hate autos, and before you bash me, I had one in this car).

Fbody should have this one.

 

You should smoke a 94-95 GT with a Z. I beat one with my 305 TBI pretty good...

 

Just because the ford AOD transmissions suck doesnt mean you have to bring the rest of us down

 

It should be a good race. If the Mustang driver knows how to drive, it will be close.

 

I think the point he's trying to make is it doesn't take much to floor the gas and hold onto the steering wheel. If you're gonna race..might as well atleast drive the car.

 

Thank you sir... exactly what I mean.

Anyone can make an auto car fast, but it takes actual skill to make a stick car fast. I know GMs autos are good, but boring beyond belief, same as any auto car!

Arent 305 TBIs 16 to maybe high 15 second cars? If thats the cas how did you beat one pretty good, unless he wasnt racing? Just curious.

 

It takes a lot more than that to drive a car CONSISTANTLY. Not to mention if your car goes up in smoke without the right throttle feather.

 

If you rode in a car with 530 horsepower, another 175 of squeeze and a 5000 stall you would be surprised.

 

I have rode in and drove quite a few cars with 500+ hp. Sticks and Autos and let me tell you, NOT even close. A 300 hp car with a stick is a lot more fun than a 600 hp car with an auto!

 

that's right

 

How?

 

Because unlike some I like to do all the work behind the wheel. Anyone can launch and race an auto, it takes true talent to race a stick car. I dont know if you have heard of Evan Smith but he has to be one of the best drivers out there. he didnt get that title racing an automatic car, he got it racing stick cars!

You may think differently, but give me a stick car anyday of the week. Sure they launch hard and whatnot, but I myself would rather have to clutch and shift than sit there and do nothing! To each his own.

 

I shift, and true power shifting the only difference is jamming a clutch in at redline. EXCIIIIITING.

 

No you push a lever. I clutch and shift, big difference, what I do takes skill and talent, what you do takes... an arm. Thats just what I feel, maybe you think it takes as much skill to drive an auto, thats fine, but then again i dont. I would rather drive my way to good times than let the car do it.

 

couldn't have explained that one better myself.

 

Auto > * for drag racing.


But manual is fun, I rip my cousins 6 speed celica around every once in a while.


Sometimes I wish my IROC was manual, this last summer I raced a pony, and I gained everytime he shifted, and he was barking the tires too. So I am not going to complain about my 700r4

 

Manual=excuse for losing

"I missed a shift" "i ****ed the launch up" "i didnt feather the clutch" "i bogged the motor" "i missed 3rd" "i short shifted 2nd" etc, etc, etc

 

you should win!its almost a flawless victory for you!:lala:

 

If you cant drive,and I do feel I can drive decently well. A good driver in a manual will not lose much if any ground in a shift. If they do, they are shifting slow. A full on fast powershift will not slow the car down at all. Maybe YOU guys like auto better, by for ME I wont own one... give me a stick and let me drive the car...

Auto = a way a not so good driver can win races, in my eyes (not talking 10 seconds and faster, even though you better believe I will have a 9-10 second stick car)!

 

25th bro, you always have to prove a point about something, you have to learn to just let it go sometimes!! To each his own, your getting nowhere because some like stick, and some like auto, so leave it alone and stop offending people in your own pathetic way. If you love your 5.0 mustang with a 5 speed in it, go tell someone who cares.

 

Calm down and keep on topic.

Autos are far more consistant in drag racing while manuals are a ton of fun to drive on the street and are ideal for road racing. A manual becomes a handicap in a Really fast car due to the speed of shifting required, that's why they have the individual gear buttons in the pro stocks.

 

Same here!

 

Look who's talking this was a nice calm topic till you posted! 25th is just stateing his opinion (one that I happen to agree with, as I'll be swaping my TH 350 for a TKO soon). He's not offending anyone, your just working yourself up, calm down.

 

I knew this was coming. This was the FIRST time I have ever posted anything like this!! I just read this guy's stuff all the time and he never agree's with anyone other than the other Mustang guy's on here. I am really a very calm person, I guess it just came out at the wrong time. I will leave this one alone because I don't need to get banned over something this stupid.

 

I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. Brian doesn't just agree with mustang guys he just supports his opinions and what he feels is right. As do I..What's wrong with that?

 

OK, don't worry about it, it's over!! I take back what I said, you guy's go on with your topic, and I will back off.

 

They are always like this.

 

I think you need to reread this post. You both are being ridiculous. You cant come on a forum and claim that it takes no skill to drive an automatic without expecting to get a rise out of someone.

 

Well if you knew it was coming why post it? I stated my opinion and backed it up when asked about. You came on and tried to make me look like a bad guy, by saying I am in some way trying to offend someone. I have my feelings about autos and manuals, I have had both in both the Mustangs I have owned, and I have my opinion on them now. If my opinion offends you, better get some tougher skin, or your not going to have a very fun time when the s**t talking starts!

 

LOL, I noticed Unknown. People tell me to stay on topic, and they are not even on topic! This started out as 92z 350vs 94-95 5.0, and turned into a auto vs manual debate. I am not pointing any finger's, but who caused the turn around . 25th, you know your stuff for the most part and if it makes everyone feel better I appologize 25th. Ohh and trust me, I have tough skin, I just don't see the point in letting something like this go on too long.

 

Lets take a look at your "constructive" comments in this thread:

You say you own both, why wasnt your auto car fast if anybody can do it?
