1999corvettels1

So, I have the 1999 Corvette convertible 6 speed, factory stock, how would it do up against a newer Camaro with the LS3 and 6 speed manual?

look up the numbers or take it to the track!

depends on the driver, tires and track layout. corvette is lighter and with good tires could be a challenge.

taking on a car that's more powerful and winning can be done, just has some variables

if you mean a stock vs stock straight line race, you're not winning in a base coupe

but throw a few easy mods on the C5 and look out this is true

PNW Vett

Even if the Vette lost, it would still look better...

I think the Camaros are buttugly to say the least. I'd rather have a Mustang rather than a new Camaro.

My sentiments exactly. The only thing I like about the Camaro is under the hood. I couldn't care less if I could beat it.

Just think....they spent a load of cash for that box of crap and when they learn they could have had a Corvette for FAR LESS...... priceless.

I think a lot will depend on the driver. The Camaro has a lot more power, but the Vette is considerably lighter. The Camaro may end up winning, but I think it would be a good race. Only one way to find out - take it to the track and go for it.

AGREE! My brother bought one of those. That thing is NASTY!

But, I still rather have my C2 Coupe Restomod or my C5 Vert.

We can always do something on the red rocket to take care of that

My father has a 2010 Camaro SS. I've run it a the track, it is good for high 12s/flat 13s with a decent driver.

My C5 Z06 will walk it all day. As for a base model C5, probably not.

I will vote for the C5 my still turns heads!!

Just the normal 1ss or 2ss I've beat up on a lot of them pretty bad with my bolt on c5 in my old home town where they were a dime a dozen. zl1 or the new z28 coming out no chance unless you have some good stuff done. A buddy of mine back home had a 2ss that was full bolt ons and he's getting ready to Procharge it now because he's tired of getting drug by everyone because he's so heavy lol. With full bolt ons he ran in the mid to high 13's (we had an AWFUL DA) and my old bolt on ws6 ran low 13's (13.00-13.1's) at the same track constantly.
