LOL!

Did ya see what she did there? She referred to me as a small person, as a means to make herself appear larger, in terms of importance and intellectual acuity.

My goodness… So much for the oft' touted generosity and compassion of the fairer sex.

OH! Well you should do alright then. Unless of course, the ZL1 owner figured out that bigger blower equals go faster.

But hey… what are the chances of that happening? I don't think that's something that's really understood beyond the hallowed halls of the SVT.

So you should be fine…

No matter what the ZL1 does to his car, they will have to produce 80-100 more rwhp than me to win a race based on weight differences.

Edit: Just a note... that means the ZL will need about 800rwhp.

Seems like a fairly simple formula? What's his cash position? Let's make it 150… Tell him to call me.

BTW: When's the race?

Platform and type of car matter more than that. The mustang is a 2+2 pony car and competes against the camaro 2+2 pony car. But you sad GM guys INVENT something called "power class" so you can compare the GT500 to a Zr1. Sad.

My dads 2012 chrystler MINI VAN came with 285hp so it's in the class as an evo or STi. Retarded.

I never got a solid answer on my '98 Mustang/Camaro question. Just the usual long, drawn-out response from OVA that doubled back on itself and went nowhere. The V6 Mustang and F-body were in the same class '96-'98, and the F-body kicked its ***. The GT was in the same class as the Z28 and T/A, and also got its *** kicked. The Cobra was in the same class as the SS and WS6, and against the LT1s was only a little behind. In '98 it was even further behind. That is just a fact. Why these two people can't accept that the same is true with the Camaro now is beyond me.

I could care less about power how i compare two cars is this the purpose of what the car is built for from FACTORY.

Track cars from factory (except cobra jet and copo)

Zl1, 1LE, Boss 302/Boss 302 Laguna Seca, Viper ACR/ACR-X/TA

Show me where the makers of the gt500 have said that the gt500 is a purpose built track car and ill gladly say i have been an idoit and im wrong until then opinions are like ******** everyone has one
