Need some help for a Z vs 2000 Camaro showdown

V8Killer

Wow man that's a great write up. All cars are different in a way as we all know and respond to add ons differently for instance his old 2000 SS had full bot ons and ran a 13.4-13.5. That is with him driving, my other buddy drove it who weighs about 170 did it in 12.98. So I believe the weight factor is going to play in my favor. That 320is is at the crank I would assume correct? When you swap stock internals out on ls1's it can really liven them up. They got cam's for that car with bolt ons that can get it into the 9s. I can't remeber the name of the cam buts its the biggest one they can put in the car. Thanks for all the info man you didn't need to do all that lol.

No big deal, and yeah they always quote bhp or crank power... so hp stock for stock the Z is actually putting out more... but obviously severely lacking in the torque department.

I think it will be a close race, and will come down to driver more than anything... based on hp to weight ratio here is what you are looking at.

If you figure that from what Red Zed told me that it was 373 whp that he got that with JUST the cars stated weight of 3439 lbs that is 9.21 lbs for each hp. Adding his 400 lbs to that and it raises it up to 10.29 lbs per hp.

I am going to just assume you are making 320 hp. I don't know the exact weight of the car, but i've read the touring is a little over 3400 lbs... then i've read it's under that. At 3400 lbs you're looking at 10.625 plus your weight which will put it up a little higher because of you weighing a lot less than your friend. I also don't know exactly what kind of weight reduction you or he will do and how much each of you can lose, though it's not going to change things a whole lot.

Someone with your mods should be able to run a 12.6 or 12.7 with a good run... most of the guys running under that have gears and have a lot of 1/4 time.

Win on lose look at it like this... your still driving a nicer car that isn't a chevy
