drag race cars Which car would make a better drag race car?
Looking at both 95 ford mustang GT or a 95 Chevrolet Z-28 Camaro. Know the Camaro would have little more wieght but also little more room to work engine compartment. 2nd question, will be running 1/4 or 1/8 mile, which would be better option. Manual or Automatic. I think I prefer automatic as I can rebuild the factory unit for little by replacing the clutch packs. Let me know your opinion
Well I am completely biased towards the Camaro because I own one. So obvioulsy I would choose the Camaro, you are already starting with a lot more power with the Camaro as opposed to the Mustang. But I think it would depend on what you are doing to the car. Are you replacing everything - because if you are replacing the engine then it really doesnt matter what car you choose. The Camaro is heavier, but taking out a few things can make it lighter (back seats etc..) I think it depends on the car you choose to choose the length. You have more torque right away with the Camaro so the 1/8 would be simple, and it could easily do 1/4 as once the torque is used up the horsepower kicks in. With the Mustang I would do 1/4 (gives it a bit more time to kick in the torque) I would go with an automatic tranny unless you are really good at manual shifting. If you are dragging one missed shift and you are out of the race - with an automatic you never have to worry about that...plus you can tweat the automatic with shift kits and all that fun stuff!
If you are looking to build the ultimate Camaro drag car, you do not have to look any further than the Stage 2 Ultimate Drag Package from Pfadt Race Engineering. This is the package that produces results on the strip, in every aspect, from 60ft times

"According to Steeda: Steeda's SuperLite Drag Race Springs use a longer front coil that stores more energy to lift the front of the car during launch, aiding body rotation to transfer more weight to the rear tires for increased traction. The right rear spring incorporates a progressive coil design that reduces the effect of axle torque, reducing body roll and helping the right rear tire stay planted to the ground during launch. The spring rates are tuned for improved traction at the strip, while maintaining good ride quality and acceptable handling on the street. Just like the name says, Steeda SuperLite Drag Springs incorporate the latest manufacturing technology to reduce weight. They weigh 6 pounds less than comparable springs from Eibach or Ford Racing.;;;;Ride height is about the same as stock springs. However, because the springs are softer than stock, ride height may be more affected by the weight of the vehicle than with factory springs. Full-weight street cars typically sit 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower than stock. Light weight race cars will sit a little higher.;;;;High torque cars can further minimize axle torque induced body roll with an optional airbag kit (sold separately). Fine tuning the air pressure inside the airbag can help the car go straighter during launch."
