Well I had to dismantle the link and search for the article myself. I'm way too lazy for this. Make sure it doesn't happen again.

Interesting article...Nice find...

Some of those numbers are strange...

It showed the Lx lateral G score as .88 (bone stock) when a 01-03 zo6 does 1.00...I have been in a 03 zo6 and a my 93 lx (w/ subframes, lowering springs, caster camber plates, and strut tower brace) doesn't even come anywhere close to that vette...

And the camaro's quarter mile time of 16.1 at 89mph...hmm...driver? The mph shouldn't be to much better but that E.T. can come down without them trying to do a "burnout" take-off...

The 96mph from the lx seems real accurate...

That's actually a decent ET for a TBI powered F Body. MPH seems a little optimistic, though. I should know, I owned one of those and got my ass handed to me in most everything out on the street. Sure did sound mean, though. lol

The ones I have seen is usually around mid to high 15's...

Stock or modified? A friend of mine had one modified (as much as you can do to a TBI) and it ran a 15.5 @ 90.

And I just realized that the car in the article was a 5 speed. Oops. So yeah, that 16.1 IS a little high. My bad. lol

Factory torque arm and phb is the only thing the RS had going for itself. the LX should've been compared to the z28. That would've been more exciting.

I ran a brown late 90's Camaro over here and the guy is running high 12's naturally aspirated.
And to think I laughed at him and his car when he told me he would "whoop me."
Sad to say, but I got my butt handed to me that day.

Interesting article, I especially like the pictures of the cars getting sideways...in gravel but the airborne LX is pretty cool. Good find

I've come accross that article before, it's an awsome read. The LX is just like mine was, same color, same color interior and pin stripe.
