This Kill Story was originally shared in a thread by “ZONES89RS“ from his own YouTube channel and it features a Ford Mustang coupe from the Fox Body era street racing against a 4th generation Chevrolet Camaro Z28. Both cars are powered by GM LS engines and both cars are running nitrous oxide, but the swap car makes better use of the available power.The CompetitorsThe details in the thread are slim and there are really no details on the Camaro, but we know that it is running some variety of nitrous oxide setup and it sounds like it has an automatic transmission as it launches and heads down the empty street.As for the Mustang, we know that it is powered by an LS engine mated to a 4L80 automatic transmission. The OP put together a thread detailing the build and you can check that out by clicking here. The bottom line with the Fox Body notchback is that it was built to fly and that is exactly what it does.The BattleWhen the video begins, the LS-powered Mustang is at the starting line, ready to run while the Camaro in the far lane finishes up cleaning off the tires. With the help of the flagman, the two stage and as they prepare to race, we hear the engine speeds soar.When the flashlight flickers, signaling both drivers to go, the Camaro gets the better start, hopping out to an early lead, but that is short-lived. The Mustang quickly catches and passes the factory LS1 car, crossing the finish line with a lead of a couple car-lengths on the top end.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Join the LS1tech forums today!Tags: Drag Race, Kill Stories, LS(, Swaps, Video
