Default 99 camaro ss vs. z28

hey i got a question.

99 camaro ss is automatic and stock except for an slp air lid.

the z28 is a 6 speed and is also stock except for a flowmaster pipe.

on a 25 or 35 mph roll who will win

driver's race but m6 has the advantage on 30mph or 40mph. Go with 20mph with auto or 55mph . i have raced on all these mph and lost to m6 on 30 and 40 rolls but win with 20 and 55 rolls .

isnt the torque curve higher on a 6-speed leaving the bottom end an advantage for an a4?

what about a 15mph roll. i have the ss and i raced a stock ws6 and went from 15 and jumped pretty good. the only thing is my tires are getting low on traction. ive got some new ones coming in next week but for now there wearing down. i dont wanna spin them anymore than i have to. roll from 15 spins a little i know. not sure about 20 but ill try him.

Not to mention, if the Z28 is a 2001 or 2002, it has the LS6 intake and hence another minor advantage.

As for mods, a cam and converter should give you a good edge over a mostly stock Z28 M6. A 100 shot would give you a very clear advantage!
