Maybe those mods helped him out...as far as I know those older model camaros were slow as hell stock...like mid 15s.

A stock 96-98 5 speed should beat that.

Anyone know the difference between the SS and the Z28 LS1s?

performance wise the ss has a dif intake and gets 5 hp out of it.. according to my friend anyway. camaros suck anyway, if your not cobra you better have a ws6

different intake and exhaust(cat-back), bigger front sway bar and stiffer shocks/struts and springs on SS, , and the much lighter hood and power steering cooler on the SS, and of course SS badges and bodykit. that add 40hp.

not bad. so whats quicker out of a stock ss and a stock sn95 cobra?

stock for stock it'd probably be down to a driver's match.

the 88 camaro had a tuned port 350...pretty slow like everyone said, mid-high 15 sec car at best. my buddy had a 86 with a 350 swap bored .30 over so it was a 355 with heads intake and bolt ons, fully built auto trans with 3500rpm stall and 3.73 gears and he beat me in my cobra by a car, back when i had only exhaust.....sad if you ask me

Doubt it...a stock camaro ss will beat a stock 94-98 cobra...with equal drivers, the catfish will still pull up top.

most camaro drivers are cocky bastards.. the best ones to smoke.

lol...I agree...but you should remember that any newer camaro with an ls1 is a mid 13 second car from the factory and they usually run 12s all day around here with bullshit bolt ons...so unless your blown or puttin out some serious n/a power they will beat you.

Both my SN and my 5.0 Fox were mid to low 15 second car's also.

Hell I have a 5.0 coupe with a pile of bolt ons and 3:73's that runs 14.20's. 1/4 mile times don't bear all the weight people think they do.
