Need some help for a Z vs 2000 Camaro showdown

wh1te370z · 07-28-2011, 10:24 AM

red6spd he will most def make those numbers w that motor. those motors are crazy. my buddy has one in his 89 GTA they sell a kit thats heads and a cam and the car make around 550 rwhp (proven all over f-body forums and magizines), they are about 300rwhp stock.

As a referance to the OP. I did a run w a 2010 camaro SS (dont know if it was a stick or auto) and i took him by about maybe 2 cars? in a little over a 1/4 mile. on paper those cars are faster.

Your buddies BIGGEST problem is hooking up. I had a 95 Firebird that put around 350 to the wheels and i could barely get it to hook up with nitto DR and a some susp work, Shocks, springs, LCA, LCA relocators, and other ods and ends. His car also weights 400lbs more stock for stock. I think it should be a good race. If he hooks youll have a problem if he spins half of first gear or has a bad lanuch u got him. just my $.02

Cammed ls1's are no joke. depending on the cam and supporting mods they can be anywhere from mid 12's to a high 11s. around 112-117ish mph.

Why bother with a story about killing cars similar to OP's Z in my F-body? I have not read the other 8 pages and I already know the race either never happened or the 370Z got FI or the 370Z got raped. Let me read and see which one of the above, lol.

ETA:
Well, they never raced, but the SS trapped over 10mph faster and was a second quicker, lol

Ya I think that is what it will boil down too is launch. If I can just get a better 60fter than him I might be able to pull this one off. He did mention to me that he wanted to get a new rear end but he can't afford to do that right now. I'll def. post the results when this happens should be Sept. 17th when we all go to the track.

Your race with the 2010 SS mods for either car?

In for results. Make a video for us if you can.

Also, you were probably planning on it already, but I would remove as much weight as possible (passanger seat, spare tire etc.). You could also try fattening up your friend more before the race

Shuck any extra weight you have, get rid of the spare, jack, tow hook, lug wrench. No need for a full tank of gas. That is probably 80 pounds counting the gas weight if you run half a tank.

Ya I was thinking about doing all that before I head to the track. I was thinking about doing 3/4 of a tank b/c its like a 60 mile drive one way to the track. Do you think I will run into that fuel cut off that everyone rants about though? Anybody know anything about the stoptech slotted/drilled rotors? I was thinking of getting some and I would assume they are lighter than stock.

v8Killer,
Honestly man, I think if you really really want to whoop some a$$, then just pony up for the 4.08 gears. It'll give you approx. 10% better acceleration in every gear. JNaut's run 12.2xx or something like that with full bolt ons and those gears (on street tires) so they def make a significant difference. If you're gonna go all out anyway, I'd just drop them in along with a good LSD.
