Just because of practicality... which leads me to believe had the Camaro been in the test It would have won. (it does everything the mustang does but better.)

Yes thats why it was shocking thats a stupid thing to disqualify a car for, especially if it goes in already with less seats and smaller cargo space seems like a fixed result. I'm not bashing the mustang either just seems like shady journalisim

camaro ss #'s are comparable to the 370z from that link above.. (Camaro has a slight faster 1/4 mile though.)

The tranny didn't fall out of the 370Z yet? That's pretty good... wonder if they'll have that problem with this pos too? LOL

the tranny in the GTR was no good because it was a good example of what will happen when you hook a DCT tranny up to a high powered engine.


good example why Ford isn't rushing to put DCT on the Mustang.

I honestly don't believe the times on the 370z as well.
What did they do? Roll it downhill?

I've been really surprised at the apparent difference the track pack makes on the Mustang. Ford needs to hurry up and ditch the ancient 4.6 so it can make use of the other components.
