No way. Only Fox that might run 13s stock in great air was a 93 Cobra. 87-88 Coupes with no options might run low 14s in great air as well
I disagree with that. Some 350TPI Camaros especially the later model Z28s with dual cats and 323s could run low 14s. My 350 Formula did and was an 89 which is not the fastest(non MAF 90 and up were). Some dual cat 305TPIs M5s could run mid 14s as well. Most v8 Camaros from that era were TBI,LG4 or 305 TPI automatics with the peanut cam(TBI cam) hence the bad rap for being slow.i think you just contradicted yourself here. if most were slow, then how does that make it a "bad rap" that they were slow? seems like i may have said what was true then.
A Gt with the same option vs an LX was about a 40 pound difference. Thats a big time myth.
If you knew what you were doing you could get a fast third gen-you just needed to know what engine,trans combo to get. If you were going to mod the car the Mustang was the better choice by far. Way more parts,cheaper and you could run a real tire on the car just beefing up the 8.8. The fbody rears were terrible.
Agree.

Agree.
the fox body mustang existed from 79 to 93. during that time, mustangs regularly ate camaros stock for stock. in 94, ford dropped the ball BIG time, while chevy came up with an excellent combination, thus turning the tables.
oh yea.....don't forget....as per usual in the camaro vs mustang battle......they installed a larger displacement engine to beat what would be the equivalent mustang.

Not to mention talk about cars that *I* own. Pathetic loser is more like it. 
Are you reading the same posts I am? I didn't talk about your cars...to the contrary, I said I didn't care. Deflate your ego a bit man

Your an idiot. I never said my car stock. I said the engine is.....wtf is up with you and comprehending. Lx foxes did not run 13's stock and you making youself look dumb by thinking they did. Maybe notch will chime in with his not stock times of a 14.4 in a lx notch car.

I own a 01 ws6. And i have raced a Pontiac GXP from both a dig and a roll and I can out on top by the end of second gear by half a car every time. Im pretty sure a GXP is just as fast if not faster than the 5.0.
A 01-02 ws6 is a great race for the 5.0. Any other years the 5.0 will come out on top.

I had a stock 350TPI car. I had a stock LX which I still own to this day. I love my LX but I will not bend the truth. My 350TPI was faster stock. A 305 tpi dual cat 5 speed would have been a good race against my LX. Any other 3rd gen Camaro would have gotten clobbered. With mods the 5.0 Mustang was king-was cheap to make fast and easy and even to this day makes an excellent performance car.. Not so much with the 3rd gen F bodies. Stock computer sucked,rear sucked and parts were hideous price wise and limited in terms of choice. BTW the fastest Pony car from that era was a third gen turbo 89 T/a. In cold air 13.7s at 101MPH easy!!!
