The term "driver's race" is so broad you can basically use it for anything it's like the cable guy saying he we be at your house between 8am and 10pm. |

But whatever. I really don't care what these people have to say. They are not all-knowing, impartial car-judges. They're journalists with a biased opinion and an outlet with which to express it. Tenths of a second is splitting hairs in real life...As is complaining about a couple hundred pounds. I know that I prefer the Camaro to the rest: and that's what matters. Read these magazines for entertainment value, and nothing else. |

Time will tell. But again a 3.73 camaro is probably a 12.5 car too. Im not impressed they out geared the 2010 Camaro. a 3.73 l99 would beat or tie a 2011 GT.Factory optioned or not. A couple tenths is a drivers race. Your analogies are flat out lame.
The mustang isnt going average a 12.5. Just like the Camaro isnt going to average a 12.6. Its going to be a drivers race, like I said. Look at the trap speeds. The mustang isnt some magical car. |

these are not people we are talking about whatever happens happens i'm going off stuff I see in real life. if these lame magazine editors got a 13.1 and a 12.7 I think some good drivers can pull better numbers off. |

Just find it funny how one article can be treated as gold and the other is complete shit when it comes to making a valid argument. If anything after the SS/Gt500 test we shouldn't even listen to anything MT has to say.

First you tell me that Im assuming a lot, then in your second sentence you say "Im am sure the tune is pretty mild". LOL. Anyways any monkey knows a dohc motor runs more efficent than an ohv motor. Theres no questioning that. As for the suspension, the mustang is supposed to be pretty good now that the track pack parts are standard equipment. What that means is that you will probably get less improvement per dollar spent over the Camaro who everyone knows comes with some chincy sways and rides a bit too high. As for my suspension assumption.....until a few days ago there was nothing even hinting of the 2011 camaro coming out. Silence doesnt mean they are doing nothing. Do you expect revised heads/exhaust manifolds/cam specs to bump hp on the Camaro/Corvette? Or would it be easier to tune in the suspension and make a new gear option available? Hmmm spend tons of money on motor/ tuning adjustments in hopes of making enough hp to beat the mustang(even though on paper and all test results show its currently a drivers race) or or or, option B. Make a simple gear swap that will absorb any straight line performance the mustang may or may not have and change the springs/sways to help with the Camaros performance characteristics. So engine mods that would involve recertifying the motor for the camaros ls3 the vettes ls3 (any hp bump will almost automaticlly be done to the vette too) and the camaros l99 or swap a gear to catch the opposition? You tell me which is easier/ cheaper and faster to do? Or get this shit. They could do the gear swap option and add hp and punch the lights out of the mustang. How does $1,000 for just cams sound to you to try and catch that? How are those other mustang mod motors responding to bolt-ons, its like those things are in phucking comas. Have you seen them? Anyways, 2011 Camaro 3.93(manual) 3.73 (auto) is the only option it will need for it to beat the 2011 GT. You can sig that if you want, cause thats all its gonna take. |
