my friend has a 2003 chevrolet silverado ls regular cab with a 4.8l v8 and 3.73 gears and the only mods are magnaflow exhaust and a cold air intake2.gif. my friend has a 2000 camaro with a 3.8l v6 automatic with 3.42 posi gears and his only mods are an slp cold air intake and a trans go shift kit. he keep saying how he is going to beat him. we are going to the track in a few weeks to race. who do yall think is going to win and what do you think their times will be(between the camaro and my friends truck)?

 

i have a bone stock 2003 gmc sierra extended cab 4x4 with a 5.3l v8 and 3.73 gears. that same camaro wants to race me to. i am going to the drag strip in a few weeks with them to race the camaro and maybe the silverado. who do yall think is going to win and what do you think our times will be(between the camaro and my truck)?

I'd say the camaro will win against other silverado...

 

Only thing you got going for you to win is the v8.... but then when you factor in the weight i bet the camaro will win. Just hope that he slips or dosent get good traction...

Both trucks have V8's and better gearing....quarter mile I'll take either truck versus the (and I use the term loosely) Camaro.

V6 camaro's run mid 15's stock. My 2009 5.2 with 3.73 rear end runs high 16's and it is bone stock.

 

And bone stock either one of the trucks listed above will take yours as well....I'd put money on the regular cab for sure :D

My 2000 extra cab 4.8 with a flowmaster which is not a modification for power just sound would take 3.8 V-6 Camaros no problem. Not sure why but there seems to be plenty of them around here and at the local track.

stock/slightly modded 3.8 Camaros run 15.5 in the quarter

stock 4.8L with 3.23 gears will do it in 15.9ish with 3.73's and those couple mods he may be able to edge out.

 

Your truck should smoke him...if you get a good launch...make sure you launch in 4Hi.

idk how i missed that the other truck was a v8 :D lol

 

But i still say the camaro will have the upper hand because of the weight diff... plus the fact that both the trucks prob have more all terrain tires.. the camaro most prob has low profile tires that should grip a lot better on the track.

 

i know how my truck hooks up from a solid punch and even with my FIPK / duals / and tune i still would question if i could beat the camaro because of the weight and tires dif.

 

 

 

make sure u post what happens and get it on vid

I can smoke my buddy's Firebird...it has a 3.8 with duals and a jet chip.

 

I'm tuned for 94 octane (max tune on the tow haul button), with duals 31" tires and 3.42 gears.

I'm gonna say the Camaro but not by much. In the 1/8 mile you might take him but I think he's gonna get you on the top end in the 1/4

 

 

Try to cut a better light than him. In grudge racing, times don't matter. If you drill him on the tree, then its going to end up being close.

 

Good luck and have fun.

The 3.8 Camaro will dust the much heavier but not much more powerful truck. Again and again. I live 8 miles from a National event drag strip and have been to countless "test & tune" nights. I haven't seen many trucks that will smoke even a 3.8 Camaro. I have seen a lot of guys show up with trucks "thinking" they were fast... only to be spanked by the 4 cylinder 2 doors.

If the lighter Camaro runs decent...it will beat the trucks...

 

Weight = Inertia.

Weight / Inertia requires POWER to get it moving.

The more weight to move...the more power required.

Only thing that changes with the tow/haul is the transmission! No engine functions are altered with it engaged EXCEPT the transmission....if you tunner told you that it changes the engine.....find a new tunner!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
