Interestingly the mustang did better than the camaro in one thing finally. In 60-0 braking in this test.

115 to 112.

Camaro was better from 80-0. 197 to 201.

Beat it pretty bad in everything else. 0-60 4.0 to 4.7. Quarter mile was an ass beating 12.4@114 and GT at 13.2@109. Beat it in 0-150 handily as well. 26.3 and 27.7.
Skid pad .97 to .93.

Camaro was auto and GT a manual.

Enjoy...

Odd they would put an auto vs manual? Funny thing is their acceleration numbers for the auto are nearly identical to Motor Trends numbers for the manual...

Looks like a factory spec sheet comparo, not a real head to head same day measured test.

Just as expected nearly a full second advantage for the SS over the GT in the 1/4 mile. Let the excuses over at the other forum begin: bad driver, manual vs automatic, Chevy bought them off, Chevy pays for more advertisement, on and on and on. Anyone thinking this is a drivers race is dilusional.

Give the SS something that may actually compete and not get smoked - Dodge Scatpack.

So.. When the initial reviews for the Mustang GT PP came out, Motor Trend was really the only honest one. Now Road and Track is saying the same thing about the softness and how it's not a great handling machine out of the box.

I remember people calling out Motor Trend for being Chevy Trend because they were critical of the Mustang's dynamics. LOL.

Another review with the same old 0-60, 1/4 mile, 60-0 and back roads driving. When are they going to take this thing around Willow Springs, Laguna Seca or VIR?

That is a different test from a earlier issue, this car is a manual. The car in the above OP's test was an auto, and a new test...funny thing is this test you posted got even better skidpad and braking numbers, which would have put the GT even further back...

Well, while the Scat Pack would be a better match acceleration wise, it's handling and braking numbers, not to mention it's feel, would be worse then the GT's.

Agreed. I would love for them to have a spare set of wheels with non run flat tires to swap out and compare too...

I'm thinking that R&T are using synthetic numbers for the auto in the gt pp vs auto SS article. I agree the numbers they got for the auto should have been used instead approximate A8 numbers. Particularly obvious when you look at the A8 60-0 braking number they posted.

Shoddy journalism strikes again.

Not sure why you think that, it doesn't say estimates, only on top speed. According to their social media they did full tests on both cars at the same facility. Their manual test was done a month or so ago. A car may not have the exact same numbers every time, too many variables. Hence why the car took 5' longer to stop from 60 this time...next one may be 5' shorter, who knows.

You could be right.

god that is a terrible time ran, i think there is only one guy on the other forum that ran a 13. Shit on my first day out on the track right off the the dealer lot i hit 12.7, and ive put 12.5 down a few times already. i have not gone back yet since i shaved off about 70lbs between the new wheels and lighter exhaust.
