No way can a 3.8 Camaro beat a 4.6 Stang GT - I'm calling complete BS lol.

3.8 Camaro - 200hp, 225tq, curb weight = 3306lbs
4.6 OHC Stang (GT) - 260hp, 302tq, curb weight = 3077
4.6 DOHC Stang (GT) - 300hp, 300tq, curb weight = 3077

No matter which GT you raced, there is .08 liters in difference and 229lbs in difference. The Mustang GT is really not a fast car, compared to a lot of what is out there, unless you have mods and a supercharged cobra which has 390hp on it's dohc motor. When you look at our SS/Z28, we blow the "plain jane" stang GT out of the water. BUT, our V6, even though it's a good car, is not a Stang eater like it's SS and Z28 models.

People need to realize, there are faster cars out there than the Camaro. Especially a stock one. Mod the **** out of it so you don't get your *** kicked!
lol well thats with anycar imo there is all ways a better car out there.

You sure he was on it all the way? 60hp is quite a difference, lol.

As a matter of fact, just the other day, I saw a brand new ferrari pull up next to me and I SMOKED him with my 3.8 camaro lol

i think that is to the wheels but i am not to sure about that because that 4.6 liter V8 isnt that fast. I raced a 1995 Stang GT wit a 4.6 and lost by like one car length. I didn't lose that bad.
The 95 GT's have 5.0s in them, the 4.6 started in 96.
You also have to rember the 4.6 liter in the Gt didnt get the Pi head swap till 2000 i belive which is like a additonal 25-30 hp but basicly brings it to the 260 hp 310 pounds of tourqe at the crank less at the wheels.

Yea I hear ya on that one ...I own (well now selling) my 03' Eclipse GTS, but I also have a 95 Camaro ...We've raced them before, and the Eclipse always wins ...its sad too because as much as I love my eclipse, I adore the Camaro...and will be fully taking over the Camaro as soon as I can sell my other car ...I'd like to do a few mod's to it ...everyones saying exhaust, and intake? Does anyone have a website I could look at for exhaust choices for the Camaro?, and any other mod's? ...right now all I've upgraded are the floor mats, and I have yet to see a HP gain from them Thanks
