Both cars have exhaust, cai and tune. Both 6 speed manual.

When i was reading about these two cars a few years ago i figured the SS might have some trouble pulling away considering its weight. Every video i see its the camaro pulling up top though. Nice vid!

From a roll and on the streets the cars are pretty evenly matched. For track duty the nod goes to the 5.0 no doubt.
I have a feeling the 5.0 only had a cat back exhaust and not headers by looking at the description. If it would have had headers the race would be neck and neck IMO.

i thought you could bolt on more than just cai and exhaust. anyways at the tracks its a completely different story. i hate ford but god i love those 5.0s i seen one bolted (really bolted) run a 11.6 with stickies.
the driver told me he may have been of by a tenth or two due to his check engine light being on.

From what I've seen, i was under the impression that new 5.0's have a shorty style header from the factory... Disregard if it came from the factory, but wouldn't that count as having headers? IMO yes
If LS cars came with a shorty style header I wonder what their OE specs would be...

Mustang has gone as fast as 11.2 with a similar set-up so far...but it was a shop car from what I had read. Not sure if it had weight out or some other tricks etc.

What people are forgetting is that the 5.0 is maxed out from the factory so when people and coldair or headers they don't gain as much . When you add these items to the ls3 they gain much more hence they pull away from the 5.0.
