Default Top 8 fastest camaros

http://www.cheatsheet.com/automobile...tml/?a=viewall
The 4th gen LS cars are 6th on the list but whats more interesting is they have the 93 z28 SS in 5th. Was there even such a thing? I thought 96 was the 1st year they brought back the SS?

They did though! Look at the Z28 badge on that 93, it also has SS next to it.

Still cant see how the 93s are faster than all the other 4th gens.

That's the gayest ******* article I have ever seen. I hate this fluffy filler bullshit. It would be fine for a 7 year old girl, but that's about it. Written by a dick for dicks.

Well we know that isn't true, I do remember back in the LT1 days they did say 93's were one of the fastest 6spd years because if memory serves the gearing was slightly different(or the sychros) then all the other year LT1's. Again im going back 20 years or so

93's were speed density from the factory, no MAF. Couldn't that have something to do with it?

I just don't see how that's possible when an LS car is at least .5 quicker & more powerful than the Lts were.

It isnt possible, an LT4 wasn't even as fast as LS1's

The article has 2 fourth gen positions saying much the same thing. The 6th position probably should be the LT-1 (275 hp). And 5th should be the 4th gen LS-1 (305-345 hp as "factory" rated).

There was no 1993 Z28/SS, period. The picture in that article does not depict correct factory badging (Z28/SS was only referenced on the center console plate for the '96 cars, but never on the exterior for '96 or '97.)

Appears that the article is looking mostly at 0-60 times for the list, but that's a bit misleading since we all know where the stock LT1 vs. stock LS1 average quarter mile times land.

There were two different ratio M6s for '93, but only 1st and 3rd gear were actually different. Also, the more aggressive 1st gear M6s came standard with a 2.73 rear, but a 3.23 was optional. There was no 3.42 gear offered for '93.

LT4 vs. LS1 is a pretty close race, often coming down to the driver, though so few LT4 F-bodies were built that there isn't much data stock for stock. There is much more data in terms of the LT4 C4s vs. LS1 C5, and in this case it's also often a drivers race, though with a slight edge for the LS1 car.

LT4's generally dyno'd around 300, give or take a few horsepower and really don't remember seeing one run any better then 13.3's stock. Ive seen 273 gear'd LS1 verts run quicker stock.

~300rwhp and 13.3s stock is pretty comparable to an average LS1 car. Yes, some are higher/faster, but I've also seen several LS1s dyno under 300 stock (even a few M6s) and run slower than 13.3.

Again, the LS1 has a slight edge in stock form, but often it's a drivers race.
