C&D: 2010 Lingenfelter Camaro SS shootout with 2010 Roush Ford Mustang Stage 3

[EvolutioN]

Anyone know where to get a hold of the Vent Gauge Pod? It's not on LPE's homepage from what I have been able to see at least.. Had one in the Roush. Looks perfectly clean.

Thanks guys..

sweet.

Both Cars should be deep into the 11's on a prepped track with a good driver. Can't wait to see them battle it out in better conditions.

Although I like how the LF looks, for $70K, I better be able to kick the crap almost everything on the road..........I'm still waiting.

What ever floats your boat. Andy over at ADM has another badass LS shop.
Truth is there are a number of really good GM engine builders, and everyone has an opinion about who is the best. The one thing Lingenfelter has over all of them is a long tradition and impeccable reputation. For some of us this is worth the extra money. I can also tell you in the rare case things are'nt perfect they have been known to fly a technician out to address the issue at no cost. They are top notch for a reason.
I say pick your poison drop a lot of cash and have fun!

OK, lets give some of our members time to deflect.

I wish my car had all those goodies in it.

Both cars are sweet

The price of the Rouch is nuts...you can buy a GT500 for less new. And a one year old low milage GT500 can be had for $25,000 less and its got forged internals. I like the looks of my 08 GT500 vert much better than the Rouch GT anyhow, and even most Mustang guys agree on that one. Camaro vs Mustang is an individual thing. I do think the Camaro really looks great.
As was mentioned...when the Camaro and Mustang are side by side the size difference really shows. I'd give the Camaro the edge on looking better when those two are side by side. The front end of the Rouch looks cheap...and the rear of the 2010 looks ricer.

Stripes are cool, especially on cars that are dedicated track or fun cars. If the argument is that stripes on a daily driver are too racy, then tell that dumas to buy another car......

I'd get either of those before id get a challenger. only thing that sets me off on the mustang is the new back ends. it screams Supra IMO. But for LPE car being nearly 70K yikes. umm why not drop the LSA or LS9 for that price. I'm sure LSA w/ forged pistons and same mods would probably cost the same. even w/ the smaller tvs 1900 blower on there. up the boost a bit if necessary if u want more power.

I really wish GM would have used the Sigma platform, for this car. I think its Sigma. the lighter platform that the next gen camaro and CTS/ATS will be on. imagin that power with, what is it 300lbs less? it would be nuts. better balanced for sure. n e ways props to both cars for being 2 bad ass cars.

Does anyone read the article?? The engine package was $10995 for the 570hp package. The other $25K comes from shifter, axles, wheels, suspension, clutch, Brembo upgrade ($8K), etc. You can add it all up there from the beginning of the article. If you just put $35K into the engine you would have huge hp - but everything else would be broke

A Shelby wouldn't be a Shelby without it's stripes.

I agree man, that is an ugly car. A beast no doubt, but all those upgrades and aesthetics dont make it any more beautiful, just looks like a wide eyed droopy eyed overachiever

mustang is ugly from the rear...the camaro has such a better stance and looks like a real head turning muscle car...the symmetry in the mustang is non-existent...yuck

Thank God for the Camaro or i would have to choose between the mustang and the challenger...

do you know what symmetry means?

[codo]

I still dont get why people like the look of the shelby/roush/upper class (scoffs) mustangs, it looks like the regular ones after a crash test, hood all bumped up

Here is the spec sheet data from the article that breaks down handling etc.
