I beat a 2010 l99 with my lightly modded ls1 so badly I actually felt bad for the guy.

I have never fooled with a l99 car. My buds was a ls3. I do know the l99 can be hit or miss. I think that is mostly due to that fuse pull mod on those.

So yea....welcome to 2002.
So you are saying welcome the ls3 to 2002 then lol. The Camaro runs ls1 times. Only thing the new one does better is look and have a better shell.

Nope.....as I stated 5th gens are a tad faster. Besides. ......we were talking engines not cars. In that case the ls3 is more powerful than the ls6. It's a shame that gm did not get as agressive with the cam in the ls3 as they did the ls6. It would have been a real monster then.

when an L99 runs bad, they run BAD. I think that had a lot to do with the stigma that 5th gens are slow.

If I had to choose between a 5th gen. camaro or a new 5.0 stang...I would be getting my first ford! Now if a new COPO or Cobra jet i'd stay GM cause they're both bad as ****!

I have more Powa then bolt on Camaro's and 5.0's. I put it in drive and go

A lot of it is variables. I know a well driven Camaro and 5.0 should give me a run, but 8/10 drivers don't know how to drive or mod their cars properly.

****, when I leave my car in drive and I floor it, my friend can usually get a full 1-1/2 car length on me in his 5.0. And my car traps 10mph faster than him. So yup, I know what you mean.

Looks like to me it was two inexperienced drivers and then you drove the Camero and that made all the difference.
Agreed.

Not true. 5.0s tend to have about 370whp on dynojets, and LS1s tend to see maybe 300-310whp or so stock.

But dynos vary... as the same dyno I made 372 at... this 5.0 cut 340.

Same dyno, this L99 A6 with headers, intake and tune puts out 332

LS3 Camaro with headers, 390whp

Its a MD thats known to read notoriously low.

Case and point is... it can always be close enough to be a driver's race. An LS1 can definitely give a 5.0 a run for its money if the driver is caught off. But all things considered, stock for stock, the 5.0 should make more power, and should have the edge.

That 5.0 sounds like a A6 to me.

Fixed. I'll agree with the above, since dynos in general are different based on location, owner, and type of dyno. No reason a mustang dyno is any less accurate than a dyno dynamics. Both being load bearing dynos.

Going to a specific dyno just to get high numbers is dyno queen nonsense, as it seems loaded dynos work better for tuning from what I've seen.
