3000GT vs Camaro SS

[HondAcuraKiller]

Sure, LS1's are faster stock to stock (wait-thats not right), but what would you rather have. The most exotic looking of the TT imports, or a dated '82+ design, live axel(yes, they can still haul ass around a track), have you ever seen the interior of an F-body? Makes you want to puke(cheap plastic, archaic design, its a dinosaur). Not to mention the steering wheel! If you live anywhere with inclement weather, come'on (the beasts do have TC now though don't they?) There both high speed freeway cruisers, though. A 2001 Z28 runs a 5.5 to 60mph and a 13.9/103.4mph 1/4. (R&T)
A '99 VR4 runs a 4.8 to 60mph and a 13.5-6ish/? in the 1/4. In case you dont know, AWD cars trap speeds are lower because they have no wheelspin, hence this comparo and check out a 911 Turbo vs a GTS Viper. A turbo covers ground faster but with no wheelspin the GTS has the higher trap. Oh, were comparing an SS here 5.5 and a 13.9/105.3mph(R&T).

If its true that LS1 will run 13.9 at 103 as ur R&T who doesnt have one decent driver on their payroll said then how in hell did i get 13.04 at 109.68 with only a LID basically??? because the SS has the same Catback i have. Would a LID(intake) shorten my time with .8 and add almost 7mphs more??? Man u should go do some search on 3SI forum since they are a VR4 forum and ask the same question, which is would a Stock VR4 beat a Stock SS?? They will tell u NO. Trapspeed is all what matters to win a race, maybe not a 1/4mile because it depends on 60ft times more than trapspeed, but in real life who has higher trapspeed means that he is coming or pulling away.

Oh by the way, on the Viper Vs. the 911TT comment, the Viper will beat the 911TT in the 1/4mile, on turns, sideways, uphill, downhill, all the positions u would like to see 911TT get beaten.

the question stated any years yall can have the ls1 but i will take 69 with a l88 427 factory under rated at 430hp road&track dynoed one and it hadcloser to 600hp off the show room floor with a good set of modern tires the vr4 would not stand a chance in hell

My 98 Z-28 looks anything but dated on looks. I like the interior
too. My car dont have any ratles in the interior either. Ill take a
Camaro anyday.

You're talking about http://www.corvettes-musclecars.com/...s/69NickeyZ28/ I'll say yippe and hooray, but it said Camero SS which that is not. The only stock times I could find were the Corvette with the same engine at 0-60 4.9 and the 14/ at 13.09 113.0mpg Fast enough stock to edge past the 13.06 stock time off the 96 TT.

Well Stock Vs. Stock
3000gt VR4 would take the Camaro SS off the line easily
but after that
it would depend on the driver
Personally i think the VR4 would win


and yes i am swift
lol

if you were to change the twin turbo vr-4 to a large single turbo do you think it would be better or worse? if better then what about a race with the ss?

The VR4 does better with larger twins and not a single large turbo.

I've never dynoed or put the car on a track. The 94 is stock so I wont expect anything but what most people get with those which is all over in the 13s. The 95 actually has quite a large number of mods but because its the spyder, I think its mods + extra weight will make it just slightly faster then the 94. At least it feels that way to me.

I'd like to get a dyno on the cars done, but the nearest one that can work on a AWD car is down in Chicago and thats quite a haul from here. Your buddy will certainly rip his transmission apart if he drops the clutch from 4500 rpms often enough with that kind of power in there.

The guy at AAM hit a 10.78 (or there abouts) with his firt gen Stealth. And that had the stock transmission in there so it can take some beating. I posted a link to a video of him with that run in the car video forum (cars in general area). Quite the accomplishment for these cars.

Yogs, I was just curious. Isn't the 3000GT of heavy in general? I have heard that that is one detractor on the 3000GT. And also, what is the difference between the VR-4 and SL(Is it turbo?) . I think the difference is all wheel drive.

The difference is both actually, SL is FWD and non-turbo and the weight is a problem for them both. The SL is FWD and N/A and it still weighs 3200lbs. The VR4 is like 3800 however despite this they still haul their huge asses around a track quite well, I'll give this one to the AWD and some good ole' four wheel steering.

i think 3000gts and camaros are both beautiful cars in thier own right , turbo-charged sleek all wheel drive or brutal v8 american power with rear wheel drive and that sound !!!! It all comes down to what you like . One thing is for sure , if you hate on one only cuz you like or have the other , you are an ignorant moron unworthy for good discussion altho somewhat amusing.
