Camaro board "Z only real competitor"

BrokenVow · 03-09-2009, 04:37 AM

As a closet Ford fan I'm more concerned with how the Camaro matches up against the Terminators, which in my eyes, is still the king of the modern muscle cars. High 12 1/4 miles. 4.6s to 60? I'm not sure any of the new muscle cars have matched that. The SS should and considering its four door counterpart hits 60 in 4.5 seconds, (according to Motor Trend) I would put money on the SS being faster. I doubt the 370 can hang, even with a list of bolt ons. I'm really hankering for an all out muscle car battle. 03/04 SVT Cobra vs. LS2 GTO vs. 02 WS6/SS vs. Challenger SRT8 vs. New SS vs. GT500. That's all over the board I know, but just imagine the sight...

At the drag strip the Z fits in right behind the LS1's. The cars may all be loosely cross shopped but if straight line speed was all that mattered who would have a Z? Maybe I'll put my foot in my mouth when the Camaro hits dealers, but there's not a car up there that won't be a few car lengths back after a few corners. But just given the initial price of the SS, it has to be considered. Anyone into speed, straight or otherwise, should be interested.
