Im going to enjoy my ss for a while but will start to look at other alternatives pretty soon truth be told. I dont know if Im ready to slap down the dough for a used 13 gt500 but that does have my eye.

That's amazing how 5.0s can get soo much power by just doing bolts on and even a tune.

4 cams 4 valves independent cam timing ...makes a huge diff. Im not really amazed though, the Germans have been doing it for awhile. Ive seen 515+ rwhp from the n/a Aluminator with a tune and LT's 5.0

How many times do I need to tell people this. It's not because of the engine differences. The LS3 makes more power and torque than a Coyote. I hate the displacement argument as well. That's like saying its impressive that the LS3 is making more power than a 5.0 with only 1 cam, no VVT, half the valves, a restrictive airbox(5.0 has a true CAI), cast exhaust manifolds (5.0 has a true tubular header). Also, 1 or 2 tenths and 1 or 2 mph in the 1/4 mile is not a ass waxing. A ass waxing is what the 4th gen F-body was doing to the Mustang GT from 93-04. A full second difference and nearly 10mph by the time the 4th gen went out of production. Ford didn't even build a GT that was faster than GM's entry level 1998 V8 Camaro until 2011. So yes bravo to Ford for building a car that was slightly faster than the Camaro from the 2011-2015 MY's but a ass waxing? That's ridicules.

For L99 tune is a must. Your AFM is still on and TQM as well.
The tune will give you better shift points.

Yes, maybe not heavily modded. That was an overstatement. You are right. But you do not want to meet a heavily modded L99 with a heavily modded ZL1.
Check out the fast lists. It is not too hard to get an L99 in to the 11s with boltons and 10s with internal mods with no FI. The Bolton L99s are neck and neck with Stock ZL1s. Same story with stock displacement Heads/cam/bolton L99s and bolton ZL1s. And have a look at the L99 power adder list. More L99s than ZL1s in the 9s. The three fastest ZL1s are shop cars. Same with L99s. Of course there are many more L99s. Just sayin L99s are faster for the $$ spent. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21013

Im sure the question being asked to you for this was based on your prior comment not stating heavily modded L99's going up against ZL1's. The way you put that before makes it seem as if any L99 can smoke a ZL1. Annnnddd I'll be the one to disagree with bolt on L99's being neck and neck with stock ZL1's. They really arent. Stock ZL1's are capable of high 11's with most in the very low 12's on street tires. Most bolt on L99's are mid 12's with DR's. Cammed L99's with bolt ons are averaging the high 11 mark on DR's but its kind of a stretch to beat up on the ZL1's without at least being cammed and on DR's Now you start talking $$$ into them and what they have been made to do and thats a different story for the money spent. Thats true when you factor in cost of the car up front. If you are talking cost of mods alone then....maybe a little different story. Just my .02. Quote:

I did race a LT/pulley ZL1 one night a couple of times. He was running 12.0s like me, but on stock tires. That was the fastest ZL1 I have seen this summer. Sorry OP for going off topic so far.

Sorry to get off topic guys ..in all reality the 5.0s out of the box are a good bang for the buck..the truth is they are 10% lighter and geared aggressively once you start modding the field changes at that point it becomes like football any given sunday..we with camaros have a simpler engine to mod with a lot of support and more CI to work with ..so pick your weapon and Have Fun cause thats what its all about ..I love all muscle cars some more than others but appreciate them all none the less
