It's hard to tell wether the Camaro was catching it at the end or wether it was because they were slowing down.

It looks like the Camaro was starting to reel in the GT toward the end.
The GT was probably on the limiter in 4th if that was a 1/4 mile run. And here is the V6 drag race: |

I beat you sir, I feel bad for the challenger, nicest retro in the group, but a little chubby.

I really don't know what the denial is all about, the world doesn't end because one car is faster than another, some people take this waaaaaay too serious.

It looks like the camaro was catching up to the mustang at the end of the 1/4 mile. I think this clearly shows that the mustang slightly quicker than the camaro because of it more aggresive gears. I was hoping Gm would give the camaro atleast 3.73 gear option, or since the camaro has taller wheels and tires than the mustang 3.92 gears.
2nd gear for the mustang tops at 60mph 2nd gear for the camaro tops at 77mph 4th gear for the mustang tops at 110mph 4th gear for the camaro tops at 157mph (electronic limiter) WTF!! |

I don't know, isn't that the kind of race (between the SS and GT, SRT not so much) where switching drivers between cars (or lining up again) could have a different result? Seems to explain the varying 1/4 mile winners in the magazines.
However, this is the drag race that resulted in the 12.7 GT time and the 13.1 SS time? I figured four tenths was about four car lengths? |
