SS vs Shelby GT 500
I know this has probably come up before, but every time I see a burnout on a mustang I see some serious wheel hop. Notice this on the Shelby, also notice how smooth the SS looks. Just seems to me that the mustang is going to break something soon. I had a Lightning, and my first mod was ladder bars because it did the same thing. Doesn't feel very good when it happened in the Lightning. |

I've seen a lot of Mustangs perform a burnout without wheel hop.
All cars are going to wheel hop without the proper setup... Part of what looked like wheel hop in the video seemed to be due to the camera frame rate... I don't think a professional or experienced driver is going to keep going like that... I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.....

Is the gt500 the only current answer to the ZL1 that ford has in production?

I dont know what to say, but it's not an issue I'll loose any sleep over... I might benefit from it... at the race track... Here's one, I really do not know, Which axle is more prone to wheel hop... the IRS, or the live axle... and all things considered, which is the easiest to fix... ? I am not looking for nor will I tolerate any arguments in this thread... If you have legitimate relevant information, please feel free to post it up...

Seems like we're always a step ahead. Wouldnt even matter if the new stang is faster, it's a day late and dollar short, I mean who cares if your always playing catch up anyway.

It would seem to me that the Mustang's rear architecture, being such an old design would be easier and cheaper to modify, while the Camaro's more complex rear design would offer more ability to control, expense and simplicity being the trade-off. |

I always viewed this video as a win for the Camaro. The GT500 was only a 1/10 quicker than the SS, even though it was supercharged and had 120 extra horsepower. Of course, if the cars kept running to 150 MPH, the GT500 would make the SS look real bad.....

How far can it go? 500hp Mustang GT in the near future followed by the 525hp Camaro SS. I remember when I thought my new stock 275hp, 1994 LT1 Camaro Z28 was powerful and fast. I would take my friends for rides and they would be like, WOW! I used to say it had a monster under the hood (lol - 275hp V8). |

I love it when obviously biased magazines name videos.
