To many factors are coming into this for me to make a prediction. The most hurting piece of detail I see personally is that its an 1/8th mile track. Which imho the OP is going to need a great, if not as close to perfect launch to compete with the 5.0. The 5.0 is a bad ride, but its not godlike, neither is the Camaro. The horsepower advantage is deff with the Camaro. But your gonna have to throw track conditions in there too. Plus driver mod, Ive watched both Camaro's and 5.0s autos and manuals run high 13's and low 14's at Thunder Valley, decent traps, but horrible launches, slow shifting. etc. Seen a GTO hit reverse once. Lol. May the gods of racing and speed be with you... or the force... the force is always good and I hope for a victory to an obvious, ricer in a nice car.

You don't know what your talking about. Their grammar is just fine.
Lol j/k.

Also, the importance of punctuation:

Isn't "their" correct in that case? And, shouldn't "your" be you're?

I'm not sure what you are getting at?
