Car and Driver: Scat Pack vs GT PP vs 1LE - Full Article
 

To even things out the latest muscle/pony car comparison test picked this order:

1. Mustang GT PP
2. Camaro 1LE
3. Challenger Scat Pack

While C&D said the 1LE was the best track car, it made too many sacrifices with the ride and cheap interior. The Mustang was much more polished and a better every day and all around car. The Mustang was the slowest in the 1/4. The Dodoge was just too big and heavy, but was the best limousine.

I read that in my copy of C&D as well. Fortunately, I would rather trade off the comfort for performance.

Being that the S550 is a brand new 6th generation and going against 5th gen Camaro, I would expect it to win. It's new and years of design, so if it lost, that would be a huge blow to Ford.

Yes, while the GT lost on trackability, very few owners track thier car. And several 1LE owners, not knowing what they bought, have complained about the ride, or gotten rid of the 1LE. Better visibility is a key point, hopefully the CA6 solves this big problem for the Camaro. And the current Camaro interior does look and feel cheap. But unless you have owned a car with a better interior you might not realize it.

Still, none of these cars makes me want to get rid of my '13 1LE. Despite its drawbacks, I still enjoy going for a drive and look forward to them. But I do try to avoid bumpy roads.

read some highlights from the article. Basically seemed to me that they enjoyed the Mustang the most as a car you could drive everyday, admitted the Camaro is an incredible track car. gave major props to team camaro for making it.

I would think three similar cars with options specifically for track performance would be the criteria for "best car" .....Interior amenities and daily driver qualities would be secondary....

I can see this "competition" between these cars getting off-track (pun-intended)....And when it does, it's strictly a subjective and personal choice, not a "winner" when it comes to track times....

Interestingly enough, what I found surprising, was the C&D actually had the 1LE better in all performance aspects by margins much larger than MT did.

For instance, C&D measured 1/4 times of 12.9@111 for the Camaro and 13.0@113 for the Mustang. Also, road holding was separated by a much larger margin as well, 1.01g for the Camaro and 0.95 for the Mustang.

sounds similar to how they picked winner in the GT500 vs ZL1...

....Dunno what that's about...lol....

But anyhow, what's this all about?...Good grief!....lol...Factory???

What did the Scat Pack run?

Didn't care enough to retain it to memory. I'll check when I get home.

Is there a link to their article? Thanks for the heads up too!

Scat pack all day. It has the 6.4l hemi for a crazy good deal on price.
