350 auto vs coupe 5spd gets it's ass handed to it still. I ran a 87 tpi vette, I pulled it. I also ran a lt1 auto on the highway and it got pulled by 2-3 cars.
The camaro wasn't beating the 5spd mustang coupes until the ls1.
Lt1s are not as slow but for 350cubes it gets smoked by a emissions friendly ford 302.
The cars were almost identical in 1/4 mile times and mph. It was a drivers race.
Back in those days, the mustang usually won

I can'rt believe that I didn't think of it earlier - Let me talk to my ex-GF and see if she'll let me get her GTA out and race somebody's stock 5.0. It's box stock except for a fiberglass hood(which is probably a aerodynamic hindrance).
As I recall it ran consistent 9.0's in the 1/8th here in Abilene where there DA normally slows cars down a tenth or two..

IROC's were pigs. WAY too heavy. I used to love spanking them with my 4 cyl Dodge Omni. Nothing like the expression on their face when I pulled a car length in every gear! This was in 1986 to 1990. I could spank a AOD stang and hang with a 5 spd that had 2.73's but the 3.08 cars would definitly pull me.
In my experience 5 spd > Omni > IROC 350 > AOD > IROC 305
