Hennessey HPE600 or HPE700

And comparing a SS with a GT is not unfair. Just be cuase chevy has more horsepower ford guys start. Its the same type of car in the same price range how is that unfair.

And i dont care what anyone says, SS vs. GT comparisons are completely reasonable.

So I assume you would be pissed with a 2011 400hp mustang that outperforms a 426hp camaro?

Considering most people don't want to admit, the mustang currently give the camaro a run for its money with 100 less hp.


Probably.

No most people won't admit it especially here, I will admit it. why? because it's just a car and i am a consumer and can give credit where credit is due. I don't have that type of attitude, when i see a hot car it's a hot car whether it beats me or not and even if i beat it the dude gets thumbs up for sure.

Listen man I wish i could say the mustang gave the camaro a run for its money. Now quote the magazines and the mustang runs a 13.5, HALF a second slower, but still relatively close. However at my local track I have yet IN PERSON to see a Mustang GT EVER break 13.8 Yet i have seen a new SS camaro make a 12.97 run. Granted he had a new air intake on the car, but still thats around 10 rwhp. Now i know im going to hear it from every Ford guy on here how wrong I am, and how fast their cars are etc etc. Im just telling you what i have seen with my own 2 eyes.

You say that, but for a guy with a camaro in his sig, you have shed your bias more toward the Ford side of the house.

GM has let me down, doesn't mean i love the car any less but the company is not on my good side lately. and they aren't giving the car what it deserves. I can shift to whatever makes me happy at the moment, if GM stepped their game up i would be happier with them and the car, but right now they are taking that special feeling away.
