But if the GT-500 switch to a smaller pulley (thus no longer stock) Then it is all over for the Camaro SS in a straight line. But the camaro ss is built more for the race track than the drag strip like the GT-500. A modded Camaro ss will probaly slaughter a GT-500 at a race track with plenty of money to spare. Case in point, Roush Mustang may loose in a straight line to the GT-500, but on a race track they whip the GT-500 like a red headed step child even though they have less HP. This is how I see it, If your defenition of "performance" means going fast in a straight line and thats it, and your definition of "handling" means having the ability to come back around and make another pass at the drag strip, If that is your criteria then the GT-500 is the perfrect car for you. If your defintion of "Performance" means straight line acceleration + Braking + handling etc.. then the Camaro is the Better car especially when equipt with a blower. The stock camaro weight distribution is 52/48 with a blower it may be like 53/47.
I think you forgot to read the part of the title of this thread "2010 GT500" That's what's being discussed here dude!!!
Show me where a 2010 GT500 got whooped on a road course by a Roush Stang?
The 2010 GT500 is a completely different animal from the prior GT500 as far as suspension tuning goes.
