For all of us that didn't watch the show it would be nice if you gave a few details.

Camaro - which model?
Mustang - which model?

What type of testing was done and what were the results of each (times - 1/4 mile, 0-60, road course, etc)?

Stang looked a bit twitchy there. Perhaps if it had hooked.

Yeah, it also looked like bad editing.
On the top end, the Camaro pulled on the Stang like crazy. It almost looked like the Stang was in the wrong gear or the guy shifted way too early.

Either way, its a drivers race.
I actually think a well driven WRX would have won that race because they were racing in dirt/gravel on the launch.lol

The Stang lost in that vid, but if the driver got it to hook it certainly would have been a tie.

I've said it a dozen times before on this forum, tests across the board between the SS and the GT show these cars being virtually identical in acceleration. Why can't we say kudos to both and let it go at that?

We should all count ourselves lucky to have modern muscle that handily exceeds the performance of the muscle cars of yore ...
Amen to that! I love my SS 1LE, and I could care less if it's going to beat a GT by a hair or vice versa. I bought what I like. I'm sure the GT owners have done the same. To each their own. Just because I didn't go the GT route doesn't mean I can't respect any car that costs in the $30K range new and can run 12s. There's always fanboys, but whatever. From everything I've read it's splitting hairs stock to stock right now (SS vs. GT) that it will always be a driver's race.
