Ok i have came across this a couple of times now. It may just be coincidence, but i have heard that 93 are just a tiny bit quicker and I was wonderin if anyone else has or had a near stock 93 that was quicker than the later year lt1s. Just a hunch that i have, and from personal experience it might be plausible. Don't mean to start a fire with this one.

Word around the campfire is that they were a touch faster, but who knows. I'm sure all the faster we'd be is by a nose anyways, and by that time it's a drivers race then.

Now that that is settled, what are we going to do about that abomination as your avatar?

Myth. Fact: all 93 fbody m6 only came w/3.23 gear.

93s are a touch faster because the gearing in the t-56s only in 1993 was slightly steeper. i cant remember what gears are different, but i know 1st is lower. this also makes t56's of that year slightly less strong

93 Fbodys equiped with the 6 speed got either 2.73's and the M28 transmission, or it got the 3.42's (I think) and the M29 6-speed which has gear ratios similar to earlier Z06's.


The intake is slightly taller on the inside due to no provisions for a front
fuel crossover tube that came on 94's+.

Oh yeah, and 93's really are faster

93 m6 cars had a different gear ratio than the 94-97 m6 so yea they are faster...no lie.. in 93 slp put out the firehawk and it ran 12s... no lie

It seems that 93 has a few more "Factory Freaks" than other years.

That fact is wrong. Some came with the 2.73's.

SOME M29 equipped 93's came with 3.23 gears, but the majority were 2.73s. The 93 f-body was an overall better design. MAF just saves you a few bucks when filling up and allows you to tune the car easier. So?

All M29's came with the 3.23's.

All M28's came with the 2.73's.

On paper it would seem they would be, but with all the track times all over the place these days due to the varied condition of LT1s in general its hard to be sure.

My 93 did 13.9 stock, NA, on street tires with 145k on the clock. Not a "Freak" at all imo, but seems a little quicker then a lot os z28s in the same condition run. If they actually are, it is really by too little to bank on and it will come down to driver anyway.

I do feel that it is a bonus for modders though, even though tuning them local is not as easy depending on your area. For example the 93's hardly ever throw any codes, you get ODBI without the stall wall problem, and no maf restriction when you start modding.

im not to sure about all this i never seen a stock 93 run at all but back wen my car was totally stock it ran 13.8 all day. i no one cars not a good comparison so it could be true but im still not to sure. the gearing in the t-56 would help if this is true

Be and my buddies used to race all the time. We had 93s,95s,96,and 97 lt1s all at the same time, the 96 and 97 were the fastest. One of the 93s was real close (the auto) the M6 was much slower.
One 95 was super slow and the other was so so.

I think it has more to do with what day the car was built than anything.
