They just didn't understand and then said crap like turn off the methonal or if I didn't have a turbo HAHAHAHA

The very next weekend was our monthly club meeting....at which time a bunch of them gathered around my car wanting to lift the hood to see what I had done. SOOOO I did, and as they were sticking their heads in and around the engine bay I laid on my newly installed TRACTOR TRAILER AIR HORN!! LOL LOL LOL at least one head hit the hood!

Nice one nuke!!! For sure... lol.

Yeah, torque on that era GT was around 320; V6 Camaro torque is around 275 I believe, so they should run about even assuming both are stock.

My dad has an 87 GT convertible which makes 225/300 and it will run just about even with my 2014 V6 in spite of the HP difference. I think my Camaro would probably pull away at the top end but we never drive that fast to find out.

p.s. My dad is 85

One of the car mags did an article or two in 2009 or 2010 comparing the 4.6 mustang to the V6 Camaro.

The base V8 LS1 was rated at 305hp.

The Camaro and TA put more power to the wheels than the Vette because of the Vettes driveline configuration.

My 99 TA put almost 285 to the wheels stock
