SS, L99 a6, lightly modded vs. 5.0 GT, m6 stock - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The SwiftChancelor · 04-10-2012, 01:38 PM

I know the Mustang vs. Camaro thing is all over this but I gotta know for my specific challenge. I have a friend who's a Mustang fanatic as I am with the Camaro. Since I've known him hes had several Mustangs, some GT and some Cobras and one Z06, all heavily modded.
I know most of his modded cars would have smoked me but now he recently bought a new 2011 or 12' Mustang GT, m6, stock and I'd like the challenge. With my mods( in my sig.) on my SS, L99, a6, would I take him? I know its only a small moment of time before he has his suped-up.

Stew · 04-10-2012, 02:11 PM

Hate to say it, but I think he will take you IF he can drive, you have advantage of not having to worry about shifting though.

acamellis · 04-10-2012, 02:12 PM

You got him assuming you can drive

MichaelH · 04-10-2012, 02:12 PM

actually i say you would have the advantage you can be looking at low12's with getting a good launch

Really? So you think the 5.0 is that much quicker stock than the SS. I know the LS3 tops the L99 on the fast list stock but it does have 26hp more. I thought with my mods I'd be surly able to beat the LS3 stock so I figured the same for a the 5.0 even if it's a tenth of a second faster than the LS3. Everyone has a Mustang in my town so if thats the case(me getting beat by one at the track) I better lay low.

Bad70supreme · 04-10-2012, 07:25 PM

I think you have it all day. High 12s is avg. For a stock 5.0 with avg. Driving, you should have mid 12s with your mods. Last time I was at the track there was a stock 5.0 auto running 12.8-9s to my 12.6-7s that day and my only mod was headers. Either way you have a good chance and it will be close.

scrming · 04-10-2012, 07:36 PM

Line them up... see what happens... report back!

Coyotekiller · 04-10-2012, 07:59 PM

Not to change the subject OP, but if your buddy wants a set of Ford racing control arms, I have a set for sale for $80. I want em gone.

Back to the subject, I would say that your gonna have a close race but I think he will have you by a slight bit. Those cars really do pull hard.

a_Username · 04-10-2012, 08:25 PM

It's a driver's race for sure, but you should have the very slight edge.

Its stock though... am I the only one who cant see it? headers exhaust cai and a tune? Not to mention the A6 is gonna launch hard on him.
Lets even assume this guy is a good driver... hell still probably have him by .3-.4.

As scrming said, run him and let us know!

I've seen them run 1.6 60' times on stock suspension (can't remember if it had radials or not) but those mustangs can launch very fast if you can get them to hook. I never could keep mine planted but others obviously know how to make them grip. If your buddy can drive, you are toast.

LimaCharlie · 04-10-2012, 11:30 PM

Your headers and tune give you a small edge over the stock GT.

mst504 · 04-10-2012, 11:43 PM

Are you tuned? That's what really will decide IMO. Dyno?

sasquash1984 · 04-10-2012, 11:55 PM

Cai, exhaust, and tune will pull him 1 car length , cai and exhaust stock tone nope ur behind 1 car I know because at drag and brag last July

I wouldn't say high 12s is average for the 5.0. It seems to be much higher than that, I'd say low 13.2/3.

OP, I think you got him as long as you launch good. If he's got the 3.73 he will have trouble hooking up on stock rubber, if he's got the 3.31s or the 3.55s, I would venture to say he would do a bit better.

I am seeing it right that you are not tuned?

mpyle007 · 04-11-2012, 12:03 PM

I am running a 12.49 in the 1/4 mile with your similar mods. It takes practice time at th track on street tires. Add drag radials and a few suspension mods in the rear and she goes. At a roll my car is pretty strong as well when in manual mode. I have killed many new stock M6 5.0's and even basic modded 5.0's. They are strong with the right mods but most of the time driver's are horrible.

Thanks I was just about to point that out. This is assuming we have an equal jump at the line.

InfernoSS454 · 04-11-2012, 08:50 PM

Just run him and smoke his @$$. I'm not scared of NO $h!?stang. Just joking I like stangs but I'm not scared of any. Smoke him.

Apex Chase · 04-12-2012, 05:53 AM

You should be a little faster and since it is an auto you are less likely to to make a driver error. You should be able to take him.

Those are Stainless Works Power 1 and 7/8 Long tube headers. If you look to the end it says Jannetty tune. Right there.

The sp 1 7/8 LT is his headers. Looks like he's running the Jannetty tune.
