92' Camaro vs 90' Mustang

I just wanna let yall know that i finally beat somebody in a race. :smokin: Aften getting stomped by 2002 SS, 1994 Z28, and a BMW, i finally won my first race. I came up to a redlight on buford highway (Georgia), and a 92' Camaro RS (305ci) pulled up next to me. He revved his engine and put down his window and told me that mustangs suck, and he was going to "smoke my ass". Well after getting tramatized by the other camaro's i thought he was. So anyday the light turned green and i took off with an "ert" and so did he (but his was five speed). We raced to about 110mph and then i let off, looked back, and he was like 3 car lengths behind me. :iceslolan We pulled up to the next redlight and he told me he had "missed a gear", i said that i didnt care, i beat him, and no we couldnt go again. :loser:

P.S.- I prolly would have lost if he hadnt missed a gear, but i beat him fair in square i think. BTW-My car's stock, and he told me his had a chip in it, mines automatic and he's was five speed. Yeah...and mustangs suck :screwy:

when he said mustangs suck you should have said camero drivers suck.

The 305s are particularly lame. You might not have had trouble if he had hit the shift...assuming he wasn't making that up.

Jon

im more a chevy man but, if it had been the strip the time would have been yours. His bad luck for screwing up ! end result: YOU WIN !!!

Good thing you did not run him cause those sneaky camaro drivers love to spary NOS.

congrats your just lucky it wasn't an LS1 (god i've been waiting to say that)

What are you talking about? He did run him, that was the whole post... :screwy:

I know, i raced an LS1, the 2002 SS. It was modded though. It had ALOT of stuff done to it, headers, no cats, mufflers, chip, K&N intake, hurst shifter, and some other things (forgot the rest). Needless to say we went around a quartermile and he had me by like 10-13 car lengths, the Z28 had me by about 7. :mad:

grr blew it its a joke going round here

Was it about the sig in GTStangs posts???

about the whole Mustang vs. Camaro thing.

When I got my '87 5.0, I could beat the Camaro's (stick or auto) cause the 305 basically sucked. The 'stang was 'bang for the buck'.

Then the GM guys decide to go to the 350 (forget which year) and us 5.0 guys started gettin beat down. So what does Ford do? -they counter with a 4.6 (not bad, but a lot of us were hopin' for the 351)

Finally, the Ford guys come up with the 2003 Cobra...but, wait...now that we have a beast to compete with the camaros and firebirds...they're all gone.......go figure.

They're not gone, where do you think the 35 years of Camaros/Firebirds went??? They just up and disappeared???

That's the impression I was under. :screwy:

LOL!!

please tell me you understood what I meant about the GM entries being "gone" !!!

Oh I knew what you meant, but the way it was written gave me cause for question. ;)

I'll work on my syntax next time :smile:

305 camaros suck, I should know I've owned two. I sold the last one and It had headers High flow cats chip etc. Mustangs used to kick my butt on the regular so don't belive that "well I missed a shift crap". The Z28 305 sucked so lets not even talk about an RS. Rs means REAL SISSY around these parts. Today I am the proud owner of a 94 mustang GT. :smokin:

For once I'd like to get into a run with an old stock(hopefully) 5.0 Mustang with my Firebird, everyone says the 5.0's are still faster then mine but I'd like to see the proof myself.

And yeah too bad for him missing a gear, thats what he gets for being an asshole. Good run.

Didn't we have this conversation before?

Stomp a mudhole in the 305. If you don't, don't come back. ;)

Yeah, I think we did have this conversation before. At least this guy has the 5.7 litre, however I dont think that will save you either. For one thing good luck finding a stock mustang to run against. You might indeed give a STOCK 5.0 mustang a good run and it better not be a stick, especially if the guy knows what he's doing.

The problem with 92 f bodys is there so damn heavy and 90% of them are automatics with poor gearing, this doesn't help you at all. This is the same reason why 93 and newer camaros and firebirds are so leathal. They are a lot lighter car, most of the body is all plastic, that combined with a 5.7 litre is somthing to be dealt with. :sunglasse

My Firebird isn't heavier then the 4th Gen Trans Am. My engine is even cast iron and its still lighter by like 50-100 pounds.

Like I said, hopefully one day we'll see.

My expirence's with 3rd Gen F-bodies in my stock(except Trans-GO shift kit and K&N Filter) 87 5.0 Auto were as follows.

86 IROC 305 auto = Beat in 1/4 mile by a full second.

Not sure year GTA 350 auto, B&M shift kit, Ported intake, wider tires. Beat by 3 car lengths 1/4 mile on the street.

84 Z28 305 auto, beat by 2 seconds 1/4 mile track.

Not sure year IROC 350 auto Flow cat-back beat by 4-5 car lengths 1/4 mile on street.

85 T/A 5-speed, Beat badly every which way on the street not even close.

*Note all the cars excpet the T/A took me through first gear by about 1/2 a car. Once I bumped to second it was over.

For once I'd like to get into a run with an old stock(hopefully) 5.0 Mustang with my Firebird, everyone says the 5.0's are still faster then mine but I'd like to see the proof myself.

And yeah too bad for him missing a gear, thats what he gets for being an asshole. Good run.
Hey, mine's stock. And automatic. You wouldnt happen to live in Georgia would you???

Don,t do it...............Don't do it :nono:

Nope, VA.

Don,t do it...............Don't do it
Why do you say that you think he's a liar? There's no point if you're going to lie about it.

No I dont think he's a liar. I think he's very serious about wanting to race. I say dont do it because this is the same car that tore me a new
one back when I had my Z28. I'm not saying that I don't belive your car is fast I'm sure it is. I just have a very bad taste in my mouth when it comes to f bodys especially that particular year. My Z had and I say had because I dont own the thing anymore. But mine had headers 3'' pipes, chip, K+N and major work done to the intake maifold Runners, throttle body the whole nine. This car even had edlebrock heads. Now against another 3rd gen F body, I couldn't be touched. Then I started trash talking a buddy of mine about his newly aquired 88 stang. Let me tell you somthing I have egg on my face today about that race and I don't even own that car anymore. So Good luck, I hope yours is better than mine was.

90stangjc, why don't come come and get it on with my 92 camaro RS. I'll by you a beer if you catch up with me. LOL Seriously though, the 305 doesn't suck, it just needs special attention and a driver that knows what he's doing. You beet him fair and square, if you miss a shift then to damn bad, learn to drive or get an automatic.

Hey man i'd love too. Since the five speed is going in today (yep i'm pullin an all nighter) it should be allittle quicker. If you live in georgia then right on, send a email telling me where you live and i'll be down there next weekend. Win or lose i dont care. What kind of mods do u got done to ur RS?

You don't want to know. Lets just say I have better than 400 hp, and I've only lost once, to a Saleen mustang.

What is special attention?

Windexing the windows so you can put a "NOS" sticker that adds 25 extra horsepower, oh crap....this isnt the Honda forum...um nevermind guys.

haha *homer voice* its funny cause its true *balls up crys*

They're not gone, where do you think the 35 years of Camaros/Firebirds went??? They just up and disappeared???

ok listen, here it is ...all u ppl bout 2 hear it from a 15 yr old...
Mustanngs...flat out SUCK, and thats it,. Their soo damn cheap that everywhere u look u see a mustang, they're gayyyyyy looking, and their not exactly "performance" vehicles. Camaros have been owning the streets over mustangs for what...35yrs ?!?! since the camaro began to since it ended..and even until now IT STILL OWNS THE STREET. i mean com'on..what kinda PERFORMANCE car needs a BUS ENGINE to make it fast ? ...that answer is THE MUSTANG SALEEN..pretty sad if u ask me, but thats my opinion. bottem line...camaroS rule, mustangs can stick to the DODGE NEON catagory...

#1. Do not bring up old threads as stated in the AF guidelines.

#2. You don't have to like Mustangs but you will not be here on AF much longer if you all you want to do is flame people with pure uninformed opinion. Consider this your one and only official warning.
