that's also in a new Z06, quite different chassis and weight wise from a first gen Camaro. Ranger I believe is the guy you're speaking of.

my bad for some reason i thought he meant the corvette, im an idiot. yeah 3000 lbs and modern suspension engineering=nice!

It may not help you much but I recall Hot Rod did the crate engine shootout with a chevelle, I know its not a camaro but I believe it would give you represenative info for what you are looking at. The month is october Here is a video of the comparison and I believe it has times also in the article
http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/h...sts/index.html

I thought this was one of the better Hot Rod issues in a long time, but I think that car and driver is pretty dialed in for drag racing. In that article it show the wheels off the ground by a number of inches with the 350 ZZ4 engine. I have owned about five chevelles two with big blocks that never hooked like that. Granted I was a knob but I still think the yellow car with a (LS7 Test) with a 10.78 in 3420lb vehicle weight is smokin

Yeah...It was a great article. But that car had a 5100 8" converter and 4.30 or 4.44 rear gears. Not really a streetable ride....more of a full on drag car.

Yes and faaaaaaaaaar away from stiff protouring car.

Far from what most of us are doing, but it's an excellent idea and comparison. I think it's really cool. Is the article online or is it in the current newsstand issue? I'd like to check it out.

I know that my LS7, even with a small cam, pulls extremely hard and just keeps pulling. There's absolutely no comparison between the LS7 to the 434 small block that I used to have.

This is music to my ears :lol:
