ok guys I own both of these cars and found out the other day my sable is a sleeper. Its my work car so I usually dont mess around in it because i figured a V6 is wimpy and I was waaayyy wrong I floored it in this car and this car took off and got to 70 way faster than my camaro would, and it threw me into the seat on top of that, I was very suprised. So do you guys think this thing could beat my 90RS, 305 tbi, I sad to say i think its possible that it could woop my camaro. What do you guys think.

Btw: specs on the cars
98 sable - Power: 108 kW , 145 HP @ 5,250 rpm; 170 ft lb , 230 Nm @ 3,250 rpm
90 RS - 172.4 PS (170.0 bhp) (126.8 kW)@ 4000 rpm; 346.0 Nm (255 ft·lb) (35.3 kgm)@ 2400 rpm

 

what is the weight on the sable? if its lots less then sure its probaly got a better chance and plus its a little newer. dont under estimate small cars. ex. we had an 09 kia spectre for a rental and lets say it got some w.o.t. treatment and there was absolutely no low end toque but once you got pass 40 it flings your azz up to 70 in a split sec. also it sounded like a f1 car but you could barely peel the tires in it though lol trust me we tried many many times.

 

off the line the camaro will be out by a couple car lengths... torque is key... IMO at least.... now on your 98, you need to keep in mind that it's computer controlled out the wazoo... your 91 has minimal computer control, at least when you compare the two...

 

It probally is lighter than the camaro, and it rides a heck of alot smoother idk if that has anything to do with anything but you never know

hmmm ... might be the gear ratio that factors ...
