Street Racing & Kill Stories - 00 ta 07 gt and 98z

So last ngiht me and my buddies went cruisin. it was the first ngiht i had my car (2000 ta m6 stock) and my buddies got a 07 gt 5 sp and my iother one has a 98 z28 m6. my two buddies where lined up at a light and i was behind the gt well the light turned green and they both hit it. the camaro started walkin the gt right off the bat and i came up on the gt and swerved in the left lane blew by him and was catchin the z quick. now the mustang doesnt surprise me but the question i have is why arent my ta and my buddies z equal? its pretty much the same car. so any input would be helpful. thanx

oh yeah nad for my first day havin my car i raced and smoked a 2000ish gt and also tried to race a viper but that didnt go to well. i knew i didnt stand a chance but just wanted to kno where i stood up ya know?

so yeah theres my 2 first kills and would like to kno the answer to that question.

Thanx alot

Answer to your question is very simple...firebirds are faster than camaros!


But in reality, driver of the camaro could've been not as good as you or simply missed a gear or something.

well he does have more experience with his car so i dont think its the driver ive had mine for a day and he had his for almost a year.

then only the 1st part of my explanation makes sense :)

was it just the 02's that came with the LS6 intake manifold or did the 00's have it to? not that would make a huge difference. You said you were catching him quick.

'01-02 came with LS6 IM

yeah it was quick enough. i mean i left the gt standin still and was catchin him fairly quick. adn it was like that the whole night cuz were all buddies and we cruised the whole night but my car just walked on his crazy style. i was really surprised but yeah i dunno. maybe soon i can get a video and show you guys wat im talkin about

'01-02 came with LS6 IM


actually only about 20% of them did so not all 01 - 02

Naa all of them came with the ls6 intake manifold in 01 and 02. Only about 20% came with the ls6 block, thats probably what you are thinking.

Plain and simple

OFF TOPIC: I live in edgewater, MD but go to school in florida. Do you come around Annapolis or whatnot? What about going to crapitol raceway? Id like to checkout your bird.

Birds aren't faster than camaros, they are equal depending on year, model, and driver of course. I raced alot of stock vs. stock and it always came down to the driver. The thing about why you would do that to the 98 is probably cuz 98-99 had way less torque than the 00-02.

Where the hell did you here that from? :eyes:

The birds beign faster than camaros statement was a joke.... :jest:

All three of the above cars mentioned should all be in the same ballpark. So if you just blew by them like they were standing still, they probably were standing still.

he prob let go of the gas after he beat the GT and you still had it to the floor...I thought the trans am's are heavier than the camaro's?

I think they are, but by a very small amount which wouldnt make a difference.

Capitol is my second home :)

Let me know when you're heading there next time and I'll make sure to look for you or you can look for me :)

And Birds are a bit heavier, Z28 should be 50lbs or so less than formula, with about the same difference between SS and WS6.

I think I've seen your car at Capitol in the staging lanes a few times, next time I'll come over

Hard to miss me. There are usually no Hawks at the strip and to spot a formula Hawk is almost impossible. So when you see a black Formula Hawk, you know it's me :)

Yea I am there pretty often over the summer. Ill be back in about 2-3 weeks so after that it is gonna be a common occurance. You gonna be at the Ocean City car show?

When is that? End of May?

Im pretty sure its may 17-20....I went last year and only saw 2 other hawks. It is alot of fun and im pretty sure there will be quite a few ls1tech members meeting up on friday or saturday night. There is a thread about it in the regional forums...check it out!

after my buddy started walkin the mustang i right away got into the far left lane and passed th gt. then i started comin up on the camaro. it wasnt real quick but you could tell that i was gunna beat him. he did have a passenger so weight would be a lil more in my favor. my car is a 2000 with only 22,000 miles. his is a 98 z with like 89,000 miles. would the difference in the mileage make a difference. and just to let you guys kno he was on it and there ws no drivers error. we made a couple more runs and they all trned out the same so i dunno. i think im gunna go with the mileage thing and him havin an older car.
wat do u guys think? and also would like 50-75 pounds make that much of a difference?
thanx for the input and advice
