if it was up to you, you would say it needs 111hp to keep up wouldnt you

yea if the Stang had the same HP as the Maro it would eat it up, no offense just stating the obvious

Mods: Steeda UDP, Pypes off-road H-pipe, C&L CAI, Bamachips 93 octane tune, 4.10 gears

Ok then we have not had a broken in car with a great driver yet so no maybe no.

the supercharged camaro is non existent at this moment so it depends on the charger and HP to properly correlate

Dont know where you keep getting this .2 seconds for 1/4 mile. There is .5 in most of the reviews. Car and Driver and Motortrend both had the Track Pack option for the Mustang. They are the ones that the .5 seconds is there. No track pack and of course the difference is greater. 0-60 yes there is a .2 second difference, but a half second in the 1/4 mile is a huge gap between the two. I think at the current weight of the Mustang you would have to get the 400/400 blower option for the Mustang to edge out the Camaro, and that would be a close race.

I just showed you a bolt on mustang running 12.6 thats nowhere near 400 hp. and 12.6 vs 13.0-12.9 is not a photo finish.

well sorry if I misstated the .2 in the 1/4 but I dont think you would need 400/400 to make up that .5. thats 85hp/75 lb ft at those extra numbers with the 400lb difference the Mustang would blow by the Camaro

I dont get you guys if at 315/325 the Mustang is .2 sec slower and .5 seconds slower in the 1/4 what the hell do you think it would do with 426/400.

Your right you stated it was around 315 to the tires. So that would be about 385 at the crank. Close enough to 400. Instead of all the bolt ons and a tune I just used the single blower application. Same thing. Also no where did I say photo finish. I said it would be close. .3 is closer than .5...

What is 385hp minus 22 to 28%? They don't lose that much. Not even on a Mustang.
