What I want to see is a drag race between the 2010 Mustang GT, Camaro SS, and Challenger SRT8 like one of the magazines did with the ZR1 and some other fast cars. I know who would win and lose but I would like to see by HOW much. This test would be much better when a 5.0 4V Mustang is available.

Your average car (Note: Average is the key word) looses an average of 18% to the wheels depending on application (ie. auto, manual, awd applications). So, a 400hp car with the average 18% loss would loose 72hp through the transmission to the wheels putting it at/about 328hp to the wheels.

If you didnt want to read about the mustang, why did you click on the link?




BTW that goes for everyone who commented in this thread

If you cant swim stay out of the pool. If you dont want to read about other cars, stay out of the ''General: Other Cars" section.

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Are you trying to get banned? This is a camaro site first and milk is a MOD here so he has to look at every thread. And we are all sick of seeing "look how cool the _________ is" We choose to allow this conversation to keep some members happy but the bottom line is we the staff decide what goes and doesn't

So, quit acting like this is your personal play ground for all things cars.

Figure it out. Camaro Forum. Respect that or go away. We don't HAVE to induldge any car conversation. We aren't a general forum we are a Camaro forum. The rope just gets shorter and shorter.

I would prefer this whole section be removed if we can't talk about other cars here without being "banned." It's less tempting.

Well that was enough nazizm for me lol peace out cubscouts.

might as well delete the "other cars" forum i have no idea why it is there.
stating that you cant in reality talk about other cars in the other cars section even though it's on a camaro forum just boggles my mind, might as well call it the "other camaros" section.

I don't have the privilage to skip through threads.

I think some of you would be happier if we just got rid of the "other cars" section. Just like we did with politics. Just like then, people are starting to show that they can't have civilized conversation about it.

Personnally, I like talking and reading about other cars. However, like someone else mentioned the "other cars" section is starting to look like a Mustang sub-forum.

you guys really don't understand. Do you?
Why come here to talk about the Mustang when you have your own forums, where you can talk all you want about it?

because i dont want to be around a bunch of mindless zombies saying how great one car is? sounds like a cult. where nobody says anything about their own car no matter what happens. a little ridiculous dont you think? talk about a closed mind... thats the worst.


you guys banned arc angel for a month for saying

There is an ogoing issue at play here that you are not aware of. And to prove that we don't just ban people. I won't ban the member below for calling me a Nazi even after I had a discussion with him this morning on the topic of "other cars" and their place here.

Do what you think is best. You don't have all the information and we've already come to an agreement, or so I thought.

i am not saying anything out of this world or inflammatory except for the usual pun here and there which is at least on my end light hearted. but i must have taken this section of your forums too literally it seems, as much as i never name call when i get called a little girl, or a fan boy, or that all mustang owners are ignorant, and nobody cares, i sit here and express my self as calmy as i can and make a brake weight joke here and there, and feelings are hurt? i see mostly men on this forum, adult men, what is with all the sensitivity?

i'm going to go ahead and take my ban now, see you guys in a month.
