Default z28 vs trans am

Z28 mods: lid, free mods, headers, tsp true duals, 3.73s ans a 4000 stall


Trans am : lid, free mods, 799 heads, ls6 cam, headers, custom exhaust with turn downs, 3600 stall.

You get the idea. Both cars on a et street. I'm on darkstars and he is on a billet specialty.

Not to take away from your kill but was it a lt1 ? Because two ls1's are obviously same in performance and with his mods should win no problem.

The trans am ran 12.4 before the stall. The camaro has been 11s with just those mods.

Oh wow, is there something up with the T/a? I mean these cars are about same in performance with the nod going to the z since its a bit littler but with heads and a cam I can't see a bolt on Z beating a h/c T/a ...but that's street racing anything can happen, good race.

In this case it appears that the driver mod is the deciding factor

But I mena they are both auto with stalls and the T/a obviously has more work done...maybe he spun for a insane amount of time and that's what have the camaro the edge, but it just seems weird...I have a formula and a dude that lives near me has a z28 we both only have catbacks and I beat him by about half - 1 car only because I have about 89k miles and him about 125k ,but a camaro or t/a with engine work against one without anyone is almost a no brainer...but like I said it's the street mess around enough and a freaking 190hp civic could get you lol

The Z28 just works. I have known of this car for quite a while. Just quick for what is there and has always been quick for the mods.

Nice run, Ray. Now it's time to hit it with some go go juice and put it back into the 6s.

I agree. I've seen plenty of street races where it just didn't make sense.

Nice Kill OP. Reminds me of my old Z28. That car simply put in work with very few mods.

This made me laugh, and turn the phone sideways too lol. But good run op, looks like it pulls pretty hard. Have you guys ran from a roll to take traction out of the equation? Camaro's don't seem to have as much bloat weight from ground effects and such, but it wouldn't think it's enough to pull on a car with basically even mods plus heads and cam? Irregardless, good kill.

Disregard my stupidity, I completely missed the roll race video lol

carry on.

TA must have a really shitty tune. Or the Z28 has a decent amount of weight reduction. Good races though!

Both cars are tuned by the same person. Like I said before stall he ran 12.4 with his mods. My car ran 11.6@114 with the old owner. It was gutted then, but is no longer gutted.. The old owner is DOUBT IT on here

Camaros FTW. Firebirds are the weird looking red headed cousin with insect eyes for tail lights. That being said I still love them

I am going with 11:1 ported and polished 243's and an LS6 can in my Formal Firehawk. (For stock look and sound) I damn sure hope it goes well into the elevens. It is a six speed though so we will see. I enjoyed the first video even though the camera sucked. Thanks op.
