Don't know if anyone has seen this or not? It's pretty interesting and pretty much tells us what we already know but still cool.

I think the camaro just opened up a can of whoop ass!

Yeah the Camaro did whoop up on the Mustang pretty good, and there was good reason for it.

However, some of those 1/4 mile times are way unrealisticfor both cars.

Did anyone else have trouble viewing those animations?

I had the ghosts set to four and the fps set to 2 and I still had a mostly red performance guage. With the fps set to 20 it was even more choppy than at 2. My CPU monitor read 100% throughout.

Maybe it's just my computer, but I'm not exactly running a POS. It's a dual 1.7 Ghz processor with 2 Gigs of RAM.

Even though it was slow, I could still see the Camaro outperform the Mustang time after time. Though it was still a bit too close for my liking. That was all based on their own projected specs for the Camaro though. I'm sure the actual production model will be much more powerful. If the magazine was released in April, I'm guessing the virtual test was done back in February or March.

When they tested the mustang against the camaro v-8 (LS2 or what they called the Z-28) they paired it up against the boss 330 or something. What is that? I've heard of the old mustang boss but whats this?

Someone enlighten me

The Mustang looks better than the Camaro in those animations...

There is no such thing as a Boss 330...it is a fictional Mustang they created to compete with an LS2 Camaro.

It is based on the idea of a N/A 5.4L Mustang instead of the regular 4.6L Mustang GT, but it doesn't exist.
