MPH tells you what the car should be able to achieve assuming adequate traction etc. It will definitely be easier to launch the mustang though, so there is an advantage there.

And Ninjak, are you actually comparing a supercharged heavily modded mustang to a stock Camaro? At least compare similar mods, otherwise it is pretty much an endless argument.
I am not comparing my car to a stock camaro. not at all. I am basically saying people think the camaro is a 12 sec car stock, and so far, it has proven not to be true. With a great driver, its low 13's with average driver, mids or higher. Just like a mustang.

When you start modding , its a different race all together. the most effective mod and driver wins. Period. Gears are a bolt on imo. Most shops around here do gears for 400 bucks or less. Exhaust to me are headers, pipes, and mufflers. Not just cat back. So yes, definitions of mods for cars, varies greatly.


here is a Camaro running a Challenger. Real drivers, real times. See what I mean here ?

And FWI, I have a Saleen supershaker, side exhaust, and LCA's on 20x8.5~20x10. I would not call that heavily moded. I still run 331 gears to.
