I don't know if I can agree with this. My friend has a 2002 Z28 automatic and run's consistant 13.7's with a rare 13.6 occasionally, and he's stock.

 

I was making a very general statement. The 2002 Camaro was the baddest, fastest production Camaro built.....so I have no doubt that its a beast.....but in general the LS1 autos arent going to beat an SRT-4....

Good info though YeahItsAHemi...

 

Well take into consideration it take a GOOD driver to drive an SRT-4. I've had the hardest time trying to race this damn thing. I just found a huge boost leak which I hope was causing my car to be slow. I tend to think I'm a good driver, but getting beat by a 350z...it just put my esteem in the dumps.

 

The 2 cars in question here are so close that it really comes down to options (like auto, convertible etc.), state of tune and driver technique. Racing from a dig puts a lot more weight on driving prowess, especially the guy in the fwd'er. Racing from a roll, really showcases power to weight, not so much the driver. So rolls favor us, digs favor them. Simple concept, but with all the variables, still and always fun to discuss. I will guess that the right year, properly optioned and properly driven Camaro will get us nearly every time. Thankfully, those carsare not the norm.
