The 281ci had more potential than what they were putting out. I will say, that these are probably one of the most mod friendly cars out there, and I knew many with just GT's that were smoking GM cars with ease. Of course, they were modded extensively, but not all were blown.

    No way, not LS1 Camaros. I was on mustangforums.com for a bit and there was a thread asking about beating LS1 Camaros and responses would say to get a minimum of 4.11 gears and consider forced induction or N2O, etc. They were specifically saying that they can't get as much from a cam swap as the Camaros could, etc.
