What would you like then? Every test using the mustang with summer tires showing better stats, professional drivers saying the mustang handles better in stock form, pedders doing the same test you so willingly volunteered with actual stock vehicles and having the mustang ahead? What else do you need exactly, a statement from the president? You're right though, we should probably defer to tests of vehicles with a 100+rwhp deficit, roll cages and coil-overs, one of which is not even the car being discussed because that really shows the true handling ability of the stock cars
You never answered my question. What do you think the camaro would have run at gingerman with 440rwhp (what the mustang was putting down) rather than nearly 560rwhp? Do you honestly think it wouldn't have been 0.3+ slower without the extra 100rwhp? Get real man.
Car A has a p/w ratio of 6.9:1
Car B has a p/w ratio of 8.1:1
Car A beats car B by .3s in a lap at gingerman. Which car handles better? Logic says car B, you say otherwise. You can't argue with logic, but for some reason you continue.
As for 1/4 mile times, the 5.0 has already bested the fastest ever fifth gen 1/4 on multiple occasions in both automatic and manual form and the car has been out for a full year less. In fact, it happened in the first TWO WEEKS of mustang production. Some of the mags have the camaro winning because it is VERY close, but every video we have of the two being lined up next to each other and run at the same time shows the mustang winning. Even the magazines that have the camaro winning in comparisons have run faster times in the 5.0 than the camaro overall. You really don't have much of an argument my ridiculously bias friend. Go ask NHRA stocker which car is
slightly faster in the 1/4 with equal drivers. I'm sure he will set you straight. That's probably just a rumor though right? Your cherry-picked sources of built race cars with huge power deficits and a few ragazine reviews totally outweighs real world results and every heads up race we have seen thus far right? By the way, the mustang running faster 1/4 times is hardly a rumor, it's a fact supported by timeslips, videos, etc. The rumor is that the camaro is getting more power, not the FACT that the mustang is running faster 1/4s.
