trans am are so bad ass but hats off to vettes over power trans am and bird and i am like the biggest fucking bird fan in the world but never can beet a vette

pretty even race.. id say its a drivers battle on that one... nice race though

The Ws6 had headers cam and cat back. Thats why he did so good against the z06. Both are NICE cars!!

yes my son the bird is stock maybe if u get one like i have you will find out its the beast

trans ams have vette engines

at the beginning it said its mods which one of them was an exhaust

the vette suks

The bird is not stock. no stock Firebird sounded like that.

that ws6 is modded and thats why its doing so well. that thing looks and sounds gorgeous. vettes r sweet to ;)

So because it says it in a magazine you have to believe it? Common... 13.4? I know 3 people in the high 12's with bone stock ws6's. Also look it up, there has been a few people in the high ll's with stock 03 z06's. Comes down to drive obviously. But you should watch the video again, the ws6 isn't stock.

i guess it isnt stock?

i dont understand if this is ws6, it should not be pulling on a z06 motortrend ws6 0 to 60 5.0 13.4 quarter mile c5z06 0 to 60 3.95 12.4 quarter mile

yea

I dont think GM cares what they sell, a $30k-$40k car or a $40k-$50k car. It doesnt matter, its all GM, as long as they sell them, they wouldnt care. usually people who buy camaros put aftermarket stuff on them and take them to the track, corvette owners buy them and garage them for years. and for the difference in price of the vette and camaro, you can make a camaro faster than a vette, and sound better. its not about outselling, its about having 2 different cars for 2 different customers.

yeah, same engine but different HP ratings which is what everyone is arguing about on here. i guess you really wouldn't know the HP ratings and how close they are to GM's claims unless you work for GM or dynoed a vette and f-body

You also didn't finish typing a word in this one. I think you meant "your" not "you". I am a lazy typer. Yours was just errors out the ass. Anyway, yes the LS6 intake was used in 01 and 02, maybe 00 but I don't think so. But in 98 when the LS1 was put in the F-body, it was GM rated at 305 and the vette in 97, first year for LS1 in vette, was GM rated at 345. Also there are guys who would buy a vette and guys that buy a F-body. usually, the ones with vettes are rich and can't drive stick.

There, you happy? I can capitalize all you want, but you capitalized "tune" in one of your comments after a comma, which would normally not be capitalized, whereas mine was just the fact i didnt feel like pressing shift or caps lock when I was typing. But since you want to be an ass, i just figured i should let you know that your the one that needs to sound more credible. I didn't even pay much attention in english class and i know that was an error. Could we just get back to the cars please?

they say corvettes and trans am have the same engine, they do

Could you please capitalize all you "I"'s in your sentences. It makes you sound even less credible.

Not sure what you are saying...Are you Agreeing? Yes, the intake did make a difference. That's partially why 01-02 F-bodies have more hp(used an LS6 intake) The hp numbers posted for this cars are underrated to help the corvette outsell the Camaro/Firebird. I do not know how much actual crank hp the Camaro/Firebird can produce since it varied by year and by the different that were used. What I could say is that the hp is closer to 350 that GM stated.

i know its the same engine, same bore/stroke and all. but exhaust and intake together might add close to 40 on a 300hp engine, but probably not 40, maybe 20-30. and since the LS1 was in the vette first at 345hp, that means the LS1 in the camaro and T/A is detuned(so to speak) because the computer/exhaust/intake are more restrictive. but nothing is done to the engine itself.

lol very cheap:P

how much u selling it for lmao jk

sooo you are telling me that a slightly more restrictive exhaust is lowering the HP from 345 to 305? yeah ok. and i have some oceanfront property in Kentucky that you can buy too.

Wrong. On an F-body, the exhaust is restrictive. You can upgrade the exhaust,Tune(even heard simply changing the chip will release more power) and other small parts. Engine is the same.
