Because everyone else with a brain agreed with me that an engine loses power over time. So either you really dont know what youre talking about or youre trolling. Take your pick.

Fyi nothing wrong with admitting youre wrong.

Yes, it has slightly more torque and it does weigh a good deal less...but look at the performance stats. A V6 Camaro can hang with that. With mods, all bets are off. BUT, stock for stock, I think it would be a good race.

A requirement for starting these threads should be that the OP and his competition must go to the track (at some point) and post a vid of the results

Don't know where those times are from, but most of the bigger mags got around 13.9-14.4 from the 99-01 GTs.

Sea Foam won't do squat unless followed by 1 gallon of Slick 50....

Funny how some people think that just because a car is an "older" model, it'll have less power years down the road, than it did when new... Not everyone beats the crap out of their cars. My KR is feeling faster every time it goes out, and with fewer than 2K per year going on it, I'm sure it won't feel much slower in 10 years... Assuming I can still buy decent gas for it.

As for the OP's question - My $ would be on that Mustang. Not because I'm a "fanboy", but because it's a bunch lighter. Your 40 or so HP more, probably won't help the Camaro enough to make up for two fat-ass friends-worth of extra weight.

WRONG! It loses power with increased wear due to usage. Period of time is irrelevant. A low mileage example (should) retain it's power, if not abused... Don't discount the durability of the 4.6 modular, either. It's a pretty tough engine, more so than the old, small Windsors.

why do people look at magazine times for? I can understand for a brand new car, where there's not enough info out there, but a 2000 GT should have enough real world data to find. And there's some good data on this site for the v6 camaro.

Personally, I ran 14 flat all stock in my v6 manual.

Just an FYI, I wasn't the one bringing them up, just stating the ones posted were ridiculously slow. Also, how many other V6 Camaros have hit 14.0 stock?

Pretty sure he doesn't care if others are running 12's or 15's since HE is running a 14.0.

Not enough have really been to the track and even more that do go probably dont know what this forum is. Wait until spring, I think some people will be surprised by the V6 crowd.

yeah, sorry, wasn't directing it at you. Just in general. it happens a lot, and i find it pretty funny that people use those magazines like the bible.

and as already stated, what's it matter how many other people have hit 14 stock? I was able to do it. and I don't think i have a factory monster. So the other's either just need practice, or mess up on their runs.

As far as the 3 members here are concerned, the V6 Camaro is faster than anything. Heck, one of them believed a DashHawk actually made his camaro run 0-60 in the 4's. For the rest of us, stock for stock, the 2000 GT will beat a V6 Camaro 8 of 10 races. Looser is faster applies to cars also, and not exclusive to my ex.
