They haven't made a good looking camaro for a long time. The gen 2 cars was the best.After 73' they suck.

Yeah i'd rather have the better looking car. But yeah his z28 is a 2000, with like 105k on it. He has intake, cheap flows, 3.73 gears. We raced a stop light race and i owned him off the launch, but he got me in 3rd gear. I kept up though. I think 4.10 gears are the only thing it'd take to get me to beat him in a similar race.

A guy I know has a 01' WS6 T/A,its fast but when we ran I got the hole shot and was able to hold him off. Ugly but fast.

Here's another rivalry pic. My gf's fox-body and my T/A. Gotta make my sly comment you know... I am a GM driver, yeah one of those 300+ hp stock LS cars . I don't particularly care for Camaro apperance either, but they do look way better than the fake scoop cladded 90's and early 00's mutant-tangs - !!! As for retro designs, I even hate the idea that GM is going that route. Guess it just goes to show that selling bookoos of cars, not performance, is the automakers main effort.

But I like my fake hood scoop! lol... While the motor in your car may be a beast I can't help but remember the late 80s early 90s camaros and firebirds (third gen?) Those 5.0's like your girlfriend's were spanking them all over the place. lol... I owned an 88 camaro and a 91 firebird both 305's and they were both embarassing slow. hehe.. Back in high school the tuned port 350s werent even able to beat a 5.0 to my recollection.

You right, mainly because the 3rd gen f-body outweighed fox bodies by a bunch. But here's the real deal, I have an '88 Formula 350 too, and it is destined for a match race against my gf's Mustang once I deem them both to be strip ready. Neither are there now: the Formula is in the middle of a motor swap(going back pretty stockish) and the Mustang is leaking too many fluids to feel comfortable with really pounding on. Sooner or later though, this race will happen! I'll keep you informed. For now, here a pic of the Formula just for the heck of it.

awesome! That will be a great race! I never owned a tuned port car. Mine were both the throttle bodied 305 which sucked. I did however drive a lot of them. My cousin who was/is a dealer had this thing for them and bought every one he saw up. I worked for him for a while and did some detailing and mechanical work on them and what not. My 91 firebird was cool. I put over 100K miles on that car and the only thing I ever did to it was change tires, brakes, battery, and head and intake gaskets. It was a good car. I had GTA wheels 245 50's up front and 265 50's in the back. It wasn't fast at all but the cops always seemed to give me trouble when I drove it for some reason. Here's an old pic

LOL @ Zig actually commenting on GM for having more annoying little issues than a Mustang.

Driven both? If so, you'd realize that yes, even the Mustang has annoying little bs problems. They arent THAT bad, you can admit it


Nice cars, I dont prefer the Camaro unless its an SS, but the T/a's are delicious. And you just cant beat third gear in this car....

I have friends going ga-ga over this car.
Including one friend who has a ~1991 camaro with fresh paint that looks mint but still runs like crap.
My general impression is it will not save chebby in the muscle car war.
