just an observation
sometimes these threads make me think that the average age of he forum member is less the 30, when testosterone helps overload everyone so the slap talk crap. Stuff like that split the forum on 3SI.org; where I've been for years, ( as I stlll own a 3000GT VR4.)
If everyone would stay on topic and keep their ad hominem attacks to themselves others would enjoy the forum more. And if you're a Ford guys (I too owned two mustangs), then go to the Ford forums to bash Bowtie's; and let the Bowtie guys have their fun. |

I agree that some folks get on here with the intent to stir things up. It isn't just Mustang guys. As a matter of fact, most of the Mustang guys that hang around for a while are usually very interested in our Camaros. I may not always agree with what they are saying, but they don't say it in a disrespectful or trollish manner. I'm cool with that.

It is usually pretty memorable to beat a corvette when you have a so-called "lesser" car. It was for me. I beat a C5 LS1 Corvette with a bolt-on '05 Mustang GT in the 1/4 mile about 5 or 6 years ago and I still remember it clearly. Except that in the OPs case the Camaro is by far the better car overall compared to a mid C4 vette.
Anyway, it turned out the vette was an all-stock convertible with a 4-speed automatic with the standard 2.73:1 differential ratio... literally the slowest version of a 5th generation Corvette you could buy, but damned if I still wasn't excited about beating it all the same. Especially with "just a Mustang". Though that experience didn't stop me from getting a corvette eventually ha ha.

I owned an 89 Vette convertible for 12 years. Mine was an auto trans. The only mods I did was to the TPI set up. I went with a big mouth ported intake and SLP siamesed runners with a 58mm throttle body. At best I gained 50hp bringing it close to 300bhp. The car was fairly quick and definitely fast. It handled quite well, too, but it is old technology. The V6 Camaro has over 50hp more than a stock 89 Vette but carries close to 1000lbs more weight. If I had to choose today between the two, I would probably get the Vette only because I would not be happy with a V6. If the choice was between an SS or the 89 Vette, the Vette would lose.
