3000GT vs Camaro SS

Who would win in a race?

Stock 3000GT vs Camaro SS...any years.. This question came up in a chat and caused everyone to go crazy. Just wanted to know what you guys think.

If the Camaro is faster..What about the 3000 GT VR-4 vs Camaro SS?

Thanx!

There are just to many year to year combinations to go through as well as wether its from a stop, from a roll and all the rest of it. If you want pure power - go with a SS. If you want refined power - go with a VR4. If you want to know who wins the race. Draw up some parameters and we'll be glad to give our opinions.

I have a 95 vr4 and i have imbarrassed many camaros and transams i guess it all depends if you want an import or a domestic

an NA has no chance against an LS1 camaro.

id say the camaro would win it, but the 3000gt would definatly be close

In my opinion, the 3000GT SL would not have a chance against the SS, the SL with 270hp and weighing almost 4000pounds is no match. The 3000GT VR-4 on the other hand, with 320hp and 315lb torque would be a fair match.

your specs are wrong. The SL has 220 hp and weighs roughly 3200 lbs. It would beat an LT1 camaro in a long race but has no shot against an LS1.

An SL will NOT beat an LT1 Camaro in a long race. An SL won't beat my Accord in a long race without a power adder.

what does your LT1 top out at? 120mph? SL tops out at over 140mph. LT1's run out of steam fast when they get reach higher rpm ranges. Also, an SL would make short work out of any Normally aspirated accord.

Lt1's top out at over 150mph. You must be confusing an LT1 camaro with a v-6 Camaro. I have personally buried the speedo and going by rpm, have topped 160. An LT1 with the stock tire size and 3.42 rear will hit the 6200 rpm fuel cutoff in 5th at 166 mph. THe only LT1's that top out around 120 are the ones that were purchased without Z- rated tires. They came with a governor and are easily identified by the 115 mph speedo as oppossed to a 155 mph speedo. The dealer would remove the limiter if you came back with z rated tires, or you could have it done with a simple aftermarket programmer. As for my Accord, if you check my sig it has an h22 with bolt -ons and trust me, has more than enough to handle a similarly modded SL, topping out at 140+.

thats obvious

tho a VR4 would whoop the Camaro V8's i already know cuz i know dis and witnessed it

its not proven till you tried it

[blackbob]

i wonder what would happen if you got a camaro with all japanese parts ? Would it be better or worse ?

Stock vs Stock, a VR4 and an LS1 Camaro would be a driver's race in most cases. The VR4's ran mid 13's stock, where as the average LS1 run's mid to low 13's stock. An LS1 with an excellent driver is however capable of a high 12 sock.THe VR4 is rated at 320 hp and weighs about 3800 lbs. An LS1 F-body is rated at between 305-335 depending on year and model(though it is widely knowncthat theyreally have between 340-350 hp stock) and weighs about 3300lbs. THe VR4's advantage will be on the launch. Aftetr that I believe the LS1 car will run it down.

The SS and Z28 would beat any trim 3000gt in a short or long race.


Only the VR4 would win off the line due to its AWD.

I agree with LT1-Z, the VR4 would have a large advantage at the start but i think the muscle of the camaro would eventually take the race.
