SignUp Now!...so i just started looking at these 90's early 00's camaro's and firebirds /trans am...im wondering now which motor and car is considered the best for performance?...
...the ss camaro z28 or the firebird trans am? or ?
..
...all of these cars look real similar i think the best the camaro has is the 5.8 and the firebird has a ws6 or ls6 or?
...whats up with these cars how are they for street racing etc?...thanks for info...noah.
96 back I think had the 5.7 LT1 350 c.i. up to 370 hp and 97 up had the 5.7LS1 all the way to give or take 340 hp to sell over sea's, They were more like 450 hp, 99-02 they all had the 5.7 and the best was most likely the WS6 and very close to it the Camaro SS hardtop, They make specials like the 02 Camaro SS GMMG and the WS6 Blackbird, Very fast maybe 11 sec.cars
Have you fell off your rocker? ... J/K
F-Body History
The LT1 was introduced in the '93 Camaro/Firebird/transam... and made 275 HP. They kept the LT1 until 97 in the F-Bodies. The power level was unchanged until '96 where they were 285 HP.
The LS1 engines cam in '98 in the F-Bodies and were rated at 305 HP. In '00 they changed the rating to 320 HP. In '01/'02 they were rated at 325 HP.
I saw one article on a stock LS1 F-Body that ran like 12.85 in the quarter.... he might have had sticky tires.....most were low 13 sec cars... stock...
Most LT1 F-bodies were mid-high 13 sec cars stock... with a few in the low low 14's....
No the LT1 was introduced in the 1970 Camaro's and Vette's, I raced one from 1970-1973 in HHRA Super Stock it was rated at 370 hp stock, 375 for the Vette, That is why I put the 370 hp in the line up, The second-generation Chevrolet Small-Block engine, which uses the LT prefix, was introduced in 1992.
A special DOHC engine, the LT5, also used this prefix.
The LT's was replaced with the all-aluminum GM LS engine family in 1997 (in the Chevrolet Corvette), and 1998 (in the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and Formula models). 2005 they went to the LS2

I agree. If he pulls the bottle then you have a chance... If he says he never installed the no2 kit in the first place, you better know where to look for that nozzle/nylon line in the air box...and the tank in the back side panels/fender/doors even...
Or in the front bumper cover like a certain ss camaro up here. He tries to play it off like the car is a cam only ls1, but we know better. That certain car runs low 10's at the track but thats with a big shot of spray. Be careful, and don't get hustled. He'll probably cry if you ask him to take out the bottle because he'll want to run power adder to power adder.
Well at least I got some action today I spanked and 2003 LS1 SS today he had a bigger cam, ported heads, exhaust,decklid, bigger TB, 5 speed, and chip, but running street tires go figure , Me on 24psi pump gas and Razors alky, MT ET drags, 25* 1st and 2nd and 23* top of 3rd gear,T66, ported heads still kept the stock valves, trannie, stall etc etc, list goes on, 02's were in the low 800's top of 3rd no knock so car is tuned very very save, we lined up so i let him take the hit due to his street tires, I took off 1/2 sec later spinning the whole sixty mark getting on and off the throttle to make it hook, by the time we hit the sixty mark I had 3/4 cars on him and it went down hill from there, when we cross the 1/4 mile he looked very small in my rear view, had about 9 cars on him at the end, I'm running low 11's at 118 at the track, it was very fun nice guy came back and congratulated me on my win and said he had to get him a GN soon, after that the ricer that was talking smack with his gutted out Honda and a bigger motor swap about getting slicks and a 50 shot of NOS on his car to race me head up didn't want any with the National, , shut him up really quick, good thing he didn't race me because he would off lost his $500.00 he wanted to bet me.. cops came after that and racing was over went home and put evylene to sleep under the covers for the weekend.

Ive driven my black GN 700 miles so far in the last week and have not had one encounter on the street. Not even a Mustang! Too bad, ive been waiting for a ZO6 or something worthwhile to run.
That's the way it works. :biggrin:
When your in someone else's car you'll see a good race or when in your daily driver one will pull right up next to you at a light. LOL it never fails
