I take it you must be in high school. I am 23 years old, so I remember how it was. Take it from me, the kid is jealous. That's all it is. You must be the one to make the purchase decision and make yourself happy.
I would not get a Trans-Am, because they are peices of crap. The window motors go bad, the window switches go bad, the tail lights become faded and hold a ton of moisture, the exhaust sounds like crap, you can't put big tires under them or else they will stick out and look silly, you sit on the floor in the car, and you have a dash board big enough to use for delivering pizzas. Go with the Cobra.
I believe Hot Rod ran a 13.6 in a LT1 SSMalevolyn said:13.7 in the stock Cobra by Motor Trend (I think it was them).
maybe a auto vert... but if anyone knows how to drive u can get a 95 with exhaust to run 9.0s in the 1/8CANTONRACER said:Not a flame...just the 95 GT's I remember would have a hard time with my wife's 99 V6, stock vs stock..let alone a LT1.
They got it to a 13.5@104 and it was a 96 SSm6mattkimsey said:I believe Hot Rod ran a 13.6 in a LT1 SS

I also raced a LT1 camaro, not sure of year, no badges but it was an LT1 with exhaust. I pulled 3-4 lengths from 70 to 110. My top was up then.
Camaros are not that hard to beat, just learn how to drive your car and you will do fine. My car is stock except for weld in Flowmasters and put down 240rwhp. The dyno shop said I had bad plug wires. I dunno, it has 110k miles. And the plug wires say 1997 on them. But the car is definitely fast on the street.
