Firebirds are a little heavier than camaros, so I would guess the camaro. However the difference would be so slight that it would come down to the driver.2002 Pewter V6 Camaro M5 <br /><br />Quickest stock-motor N/A V6 4th Gen F-body.<br />2nd Quickest N/A V6 4th Gen F-body overall.<br />mods: Gear, weight reduction, tuning <br /><br />Fear the Gear. 13.585 @ 100.05 1.827 60\'<br /><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.NJFBOA.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.NJFBOA.org</a>

This is very sad...this is all very, very sad...
They would most likely be quite even, though with mabe the camaro a HAIR in front of the bird...
well, lets bench race.
The 97RS has 200fwhp and 220fwtq
The 97Bird has 200fwhp and 220fwtq...
The camaro is a LITTLE lighter than its bro..the bird. So then the camaro will BLOW AWAY the firebird any day...lol...omfg...
um...dacandystore, it's highly recommended that you first read up on the specifications of v6 F-Bodies before you make too much of an idiot out of yourself... http://tech.firebirdv6.com/ please spend some time there...2000 Navy Blue T-top Camaro A4<br />TSP Rumbler <br />Carsound Hi-flo Cat<br />!MAF screen<br />Whisper lid<br />HPP3

The RS having an extra body kit may even account for the birds extra weight.
The only differance I can think of would be if 1 has 3.42s and the other has 3.08s at that point the 3.42s wins, if not it's a drivers race.

I agree with Nachius.
I don't see how you're saying the Camaro is lighter with a body kit.. and if the RS has 3.42s it will win.<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six©</b></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.sounddomain.com/id/95batmobile\" target=\"_blank\">My \'95 Bird</a><br />I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.

Guys, the body kit doesnt weigh much at all, probably another 30-40lbs would be my best guess. Gearing would decide this race, except if they both have 3.08's...2000 Navy Blue T-top Camaro A4<br />TSP Rumbler <br />Carsound Hi-flo Cat<br />!MAF screen<br />Whisper lid<br />HPP3

Chadder, generally when someone types "fwhp" they refer to "front wheel horsepower." I've never seen anyone refer to flywheel hp in that way.
That will be a driver's race. Whoever launches better will most likely win. Gearing could also be a factor. If 3.08 vs 3.42 the 3.42 car will win in a drag race. If the specs are even, I give the Camaro the edge :D-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.
