What about in the top end? Which car would be faster in top speed without the governor?

technically i would say the camero because its more of an aerodynamic body. Other than that , its a drivers race LITERALLY!

Buy a different car? I don't think you can do much to improve them, I guess removing your attenna, and possibly your side view mirrors would make it more areodynamic. We used quotes in school a while back and one of the quotes was made by Mr. Enzo Ferrari. "Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines".

Fixed your quote, and made it true.

The unfortunate truth.

My Son's girlfriend has a Camaro. It isn't as fast as my '01. I tell her that I don't hold it against her. I'm too busy taking on the 5.0's, 305's and 350's of times gone by, so there isn't any question about the V6.

Well u see, this guy that graduated last year from my school has a V6 Camaro (not sure of the year model) but this fool wanted to race me the same day i got my car and i was like no....but like he will race anybody and i mean anybody.... he race a friend of mine in a pickup and he got smoked so do you think i would have a problem if i raced him? as far as i know of, his car is completely stock (not even exhaust) except for a racing chip

The 3800II v6 will keep up with a 99+ v6, the 3400 series is another story.
