the lt1 is a good yet tempermental motor, pulls to 6k, safely 6500, with a mild cam alot of guys have pulled them up to 7k rpms, worst things about fbodies is they shake/rattle at higher speed, can get reallly annoying...

Actually the only ones i do like. and i got second cousin id hit in a minute. Here is a comparision i found with 87 iroc agains 87 stang. Most important of all, of course, is the 225 bhp at 4400 rpm from the well honed 5.0-liter. To add 225 bhp this year, Ford has reverted to the pre-1986 cylinder heads that allow for better air-flow but less turbulence. Our test car had the 5-speed manual transmission. A 4-speed automatic is available if one is willing to sacrifice 5 bhp consumed in the automatic's more restrictive exhaust. Much larger front discs (10.9- versus 10.1-in. diameter) from the Continental add stopping power. The chassis was been subtly modified with a higher roll center, more caster and different camber settings at the modified MacPherson struts. The live axle in back on trailing and angled upper arms is unchanged this year with four shocks still holding things more or less in place. The Camaro, which began two years after the first Mustang, has remained, if you will, a full-size ponycar, despite its slight reduction in bulk when it was restyled in 1982 for the third time. It is longer, lower and wider than the Mustang and 220 lb heavier. All of this is noticeable. For 1987 Chevy (and Pontiac with the Firebird Trans Am) will finally, and officially, install the Corvette's 5.7-liter V-8, but with updated cast iron cylinder heads and roller valve lifters. The only available transmission is the 4-speed automatic, also shared with the Corvette. With the Camaro's lovely sounding but more restrictive exhaust, the engine produces 220 bhp at 4200 rpm and a mighty 320 lb-ft at 3200 rpm. To take this increased torque, a Borg-Warner rear axle (with a 3.27:1 the only available ratio) is installed, along with the disc brakes that attach to the ends of this axle. No changes were made to the IROC-Z's modified MacPherson strut front suspension, except for an increase in caster, or the rear suspension's collection of lower trailing arms, torque arm and Panhard rod. Acceleration results were as predictable as a sunrise. If, instead of comparing the Ford and Chevy, we had tested either two Mustangs or two Camaros, we would have gotten results no closer. Up to 90 mph the Mustang pulls out only the slightest advantage because of its lower weight. This disappears by 100 mph as the Camaro gains an aerodynamic advantage of the tiniest proportions. Mustang and Camaro drivers will be able to spend entire days making runs at a dragstrip without determining a clear winner, which should make for lots of happy drag racers and spectators. There is a clear difference in technique, however, because of the Camaro's automatic transmission and the Mustang's 5-speed. Basically, the Camaro doesn't need technique. Just stand on it. The Mustang, of course, gives the driver a choice of 5-speed or automatic, and it's great fun to play with the round, black knob between the seats, though getting off the line right requires the right combination of clutch slipping, tire slipping and throttle mashing. But on a tighter than usual 150-ft skidpad the Camaro's larger tires helped it around at a higher lateral acceleration, 0.85 to 0.80. The Camaro's front suspension geometry may also be less troubled by the tight radius. A sound test added numbers to what we all knew. The Mustang is quieter at most cruising speeds but makes more noise at wide-open throttle. If there were a number for sound quality, the Camaro would win hands down. The Chevy V-8 is tuned to produce that particularly American burble emitted by every V-8 that was ever given a set of dual pipes and glass packs. It's wonderful. At more than 125 mph, though, the side windows of the Camaro are sucked out, increasing its noise level. The Mustang remains tight all the way up. __________________ http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/j...ntyRaceway.flv www.radmustangs.com

T-tops only came on 5.0 liter cars, that option was not available for the 350. You should be able to take him if it is a 305. A 350, with minor mods is easily a high 13 second car. If he had Vortec heads or an aftermarket intake, he will win easily. These cars respond really well to a new intake and/or vortec heads.
