Now the 1st race it looks like the Camaro was sleeping...2nd looks like the GT walked it.

Lol @ the comments made, silly ford people

edpontiac91 · 03-30-2010, 04:52 PM

BOTH times it looks like the Mustang has a MUCH better launch

and LOW END pull away than the Camaro!

I wanna rent a 5th gen, and rent like a kia, make a sweet video of the Kia kicking the 5th gens ass, and see the internet flame fest fall out.

Yea why dont u get on that......anyway from what im reading Motortrend got a 12.80 outta the GT so the numbers are looking a little better then the 5th gens. Believe they come w/ 373's.

Camaro needs the driver mod. Simple as that. Should be a much closer race.

i agree with this.... these vids on youtube although entertaining sometimes prove nothing...

Tru2Chevy · 03-30-2010, 06:06 PM

That was also an automatic (L99) Camaro.

Manual to Manual should be a closer race.

Eh, new 5.0 is a hell of a car. If the GT got the performance pack, its also got the higher gears.
Mustang has weight advantage over Camaro, and a little gear as well.
Ford seems to have done a great job with this new 5.0, and really showed up what that chassis can do.
Camaro is heavy, but the SS is to soft.

BigRocsFirebird · 03-30-2010, 06:24 PM

i like the 5.0

I think it looks great, Ford being the first out of the big three to do a retro/classic look really nailed it with the '05 and have only improved the look with the new body style. I cant wait to see/ride in one of the new 5.0s

Wah.

The new mustang seems pretty impressive from everything Ive read and seen. I read that motortrend dynoed it at 435 hp, 409 tq which is very respectable. 110 trap speed is no joke either, these are fast cars out of the box.

The only bad Ive heard so far is that people think its maxed out and wont respond very well to mods, and hp/$ is going to be rough

Actually I remember when we did that photo shoot that you wanted to get a mustang. I actually meant to say I thought you wanted a mustang but I had a typo.

Damn my 02 WS6 with a LM2 and lid trapped 110mph in the 1/4!! I am still not impressed. It took Ford 9 years to get up to speed with a LS1 in there GT mustang!! I was impressed with the 03/04 cobra and was somewhat impressed with there Mach 1.

LM and lid is not stock, and its been long enough for people to realize what cheap mods work best. I agree with ford finally catching up, but regardless of their sand bagging the new mustang is impressive.

You are correct that my car was not stock! My car bone stock probably trapped 108ish in the 1/4. Hell with a lid and catback it put down 330rwhp!! Its sad that my car bone stock was rated at 100 hp less then the new GT and still runs pretty close to what the new GTs Run stock vrs stock!! I mean a 01 GT Vrs a 01 Z28 the camaro only made 50 more hp and was heavier and still beat the GT by almost a second in the 1/4 mile!!

The new mustang is impressive for a Mustang GT!! Its sad it took so long to get them to run a 12 second 1/4 stock!

Also the Mod motors have been out longer then the LS series motors So I think its just as easy to figure out what makes a 5.0 mod motor run with cheapo mods also!

MonmouthCtyAntz · 03-31-2010, 05:50 AM

Some of you guys are funny w/ your brand sensitivity. Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow....So far it looks like this car outperforms the 5th gen. everywhere.

Slow-V6 · 03-31-2010, 08:16 AM

I dont really care if a 2011 Mustang beats a 2010 camaro!! I will never own either car because I really dont like the style of either!!

Brand sensitivity!! I owned 2 mustangs in my life. I have reasons why I do not like the Mustang and will never own one again! I am a F-body guy and the only car that can sway me away is probably a Vette!! If that somehow offends Mustang lovers on a F-body website then so be it!

And another thing is how is it impressive that a GT mustang, who hasnt beaten a V8 F-body in 19 years, finally beats one??
