Camaro vs. 240

[monooxide]

AHAHHA you thought it would be one of those threads...nope its not. Im going to be racing a '98 V6 Camaro 5-Spd from a dead stop on the highway in my '91 240SX Auto...he hates imports sooo this is a good time to show him he has no chance. Ill have results Monday Afternoon about 3:30 central Time for those of you who want to tune in!

lol yeah that's why i was asking what he had done.
i actually think this race may be in favor of the chevy. just hope that he messes up on his shifting or something. other wise he will probably beat you.

i would actually put 100 bucks on the camaro. the v6's are slow but an auto 240 with intake is slower in my mind. but race him anyways because racing is fun!

ive actually never raced a NA 240 but i know i've beatin a v6 camaro and mustang in my celica...and my celica was slow as ass

My moms v6 camaro has a 60-80 of like 10 seconds. But I've never driven an auto 240 either. Tape porn to the side of your car before racing.

My car launched side by side with that 305 V8 Camaro(1990)? Lol tape porn to my car hell no i dont want him hitting me....so you guys think hell take me from a dead stop? Hell have 2 people in his car and ill only have just me...Hmm i have a chance in 3rd and 4th gears? its only putting out 200 HP.

98 v6 camaro 5 speed is faster then that old 305 camaro and faster then that mustang you raced........

actually they aren't bad cars especially when you look at it from a v6 objective... only reason people look down on them so much is the fact you can get a really good v8 as an option.....

The 3.8 V6 4th Gen F-body's can't or at least shouldn't be compared to 3rd Gen v6's. The 95 3.8 came stock with 200 horsepower and is very easy to get much more from. They pretty much hung almost dead even with the Mustang GT's made that same year. So they are no push overs. I wish you the best of luck and like was said before lets hope they can't shift very well but I would put money on the camaro if I was a betting man.

Alright we will see tomorrow

yea camaro. If you were a 5-speed different story. I raced a v6 camaro...except it was the kind that you see in every trailer park. Like from the late 80's early 90's in my auto. From a roll start, i have to say i launched ahead of him then he just went by me. Of course i had a huge exhaust leak so my car sounded like a lawn mower. But i think you'll get beat.

I've raced several V6 camaros, I beat them off of the line pretty hard but they always catch me after about 800-1000 feet. So I'll never make it to the 0.25 mile first. I haven't noticed much difference with the camaro auto/manual.. both seem to catch me at about the same time. Of course light to light, the distance is short enough that I can win. =p

3rd and 4th gear have very little to offer the 240, you'll win it in first and second, or you just won't win it.

Mine is MT,SOHC, Intake/exaust/header, sticky tires. =p


EDIT: I sure have the launch down though, I got at least 3 car lenghts ahead of my dad's 72' Trans Am, and that car comes in at low 13's. =D
Of course he overtakes me in about 400 feet, and will finish while I'm barely half way ;_;

I think the Camaro will win. I wish you luck, but I think the auto vs. manual will hurt you. Post the results when you're done though. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. BTW, why does he have two people in his car?
