anyways...foxes are fun...drop some 4:10 gears in it, either cobra or GT40 intake with a cold air kit, T5 ****** and have some fun. It'll smoke most cars around, especially all the ricer kids with their fart cannon mufflers. Ls1's are good cars but they will not smoke "every" mustang that comes near it.

People who dont know a thing about cars go with anything with an LS engine in it.

Now if you want to build up an already great motor, and have fun driving a relatively light car, Fox Mustang is the way to go.

^^^ But a bone stock LS1 car will take a bone stock 5.0 car all day

You could always go my route too. I bought an older body style S-10 and Im dropping a 350 in it with a turbo 350 behind it. Fairly inexpensive way to go for the performance.

right you are sir. no doubt ford makes good engines and so does chevy but bone stock or with upgrades the ls1 is the better engine. you have no idea how many ppl pull up to me with their cobras, and gt's looking for an *** whoopin. and dont even get me started on skylines, and supras lol.

keep in mind i have not had my camaro very long and havnt been in THAT many races. im not trying to claim i have the fastest car around im just saying i have crushed everything short of a corvette or the new gto. only two races i have ever lost yet. what i think is funny is when some ricer pulls up to a mustang camaro etc. and thinks they have something.

Well, of course. Lets say a camaro vs mustang, the LS1 was put into the maro starting in 1998, where as the last 5.0 production year was 1995.

The 98 Maro with a 5.7L aluminum block V8 rated at about 325RWHP and 6spd manual.

The 93 Stang with a 4.9L cast iron block V8 rated at about 235RWHP and 5spd

manual.

The maro's engine is lighter, more powerful and much more advanced. Plus the maro weighs as much as the mustang.

So, stock vs stock with drivers of equal skill, yes the camaro has more of a chance of winning.

nothing has beat him under 50k. Well have you raced an slp camaro ss? That's not 50k and I'm sure it will run over your z28. Along with a firehawk.
