do you have a dyno graph for each? We can't predict which one makes more power..also do you have the weight of each car.

It's really hard to tell just from a mod list... and in a heads up race it could come down to driver... but if I had to bet.... I'd take the '99 Firehawk...

Peak hp is useless in a race. Guessing that the 00 ss is "peakier" though due to the cam. Probably the hawk, I didn't notice tuning in it's mod list, but I assume it's been done?

I agree, hawk.

I say both cars are capable of 11s with traction and will be definite low 12s.

Default Come On Guys....please!

No More "What would happen?" Posts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LS1Tech has one of the best, if not the best, street racing sections on
the 'net...and I'd like to keep it that way.

Stop bench racing. Get out there and have some fun by actually
racing someone. I know, it's a novel idea. Be safe and watch
out for the cops.

Please...don't post any more "what would happen" threads. The number
of them currently is getting close to out-weighing the actual kills.

PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR MODERATOR
