From my experience the camaro is faster out the box and respond well to modifications. The LS-1 is a great motor. But the camaros do not seem to hold up as well as the mustangs when they get higher mileage.

Of the two cars that you mentioned, the Z28 will out perform the GT in almost every category. The LS1 is a very strong engine. As for longevity in the life of the engine, it all depends on how well you take care of it. If you do regular maintenance on it, both cars will last as long as you want them to...

about 17mpg in town?I can say this mustang sohc 4.6 (GT engines) have probs with the intake manifolds and the autos have trouble at around 100,000 miles from people I know who own later model stangs. I just notice that fords cars dont rattle as bad when they get old. I think the hatch on the camaro and big doors have a lot to do with it. The camaro is faster out the box. The Z28 should be campared to a COBRA of the same year. Its like comparing a Focus SVT to a Mitsu EVO...no comparison...the mustang sits higher inside more like a economy car. Z28 sit nice low and feel sporty. Its a vette with back seats..well maybe not

I don't know about an auto 1998 Z, but my 2001 gets 28-30 mpg on the highway, and less than that in traffic.

Well lets see... An Auto Ls1 should do the the quarter at around 13.5 and an auto 4.6 SOHC should do it at 14.3-5. So the Z is quicker.

The 99+GTs arent slow. You have people running 13.9s with just shifter and 13.6s with exhaust and filter. Thats around LS1 territory, so its not slow at all.

Oh and gas rated mileage is

4.6 SOHC- 18/24

LS1- 18/26

SLP Loudmouth is a good, cheap exhaust... Corsa makes some that are sweet but are pretty expensive http://www.corsaperf.com/cfflash.html
Not to mention GMMGs Chambered exhaust which is one of the best... http://gmmginc.net/html/chamberedexhaust.html .
Theyre all good exhaust tones but wont beat the sound of a Mustang
