If I was closer I'd take you up on that offer as many times as you wanted lol

But then back in the lanes he was puzzled as his tire pressures were fine. Then when I drove it after that it felt the same way. It was that the GT did not handle the bumps very well at 116+ mph. I get more of a feeling of quality in the Camaro. I think the IRS and much stiffer chassis gives you more of a sense of confidence in the car. Even though his car is faster I prefer mine. I want one of each. But if I could only have one it will be the SS.

The first time I drove his car in the quarter, I ran 12.2 to his 11.9 LOL. Just to keep it fair, he could not break out of the 13s in my car, where I was running 12.4s that night The manual is a challenge. But it could be that he did not want to break my car and he was taking it easy. Either way, we were both faster in our own car.

Iv had both at the same time and it's awesome. The Camaro is definitely the better cruiser and inspires more confidence. The mustang was for when I wanted to race lol... I loved each for different reasons, but the Mustang was the faster of the two no doubt.
