Unofficial drag test puts 2011 Mustang GT ahead of Camaro SS in eighth-mile showdown

I knew Ford wouldn't let us down :-D

"With a base price coming in at $30,495 and numbers that - for now, at least - appear to beat the competition, Ford looks like it has a serious hit in the making with its new 5.0 Mustang."

No surprise there :shrug: given the power to weight ratios of both. :-D

the 1/4 mile numbers have to be off. 13.8 and a 13.5? sounds like a stock sn95 lol

Yeah, this comparison was bad

2.1x 60' for the Mustang
2.5x 60' for the Camaro (embarassing for the driver)

We will have to wait for some better comparisons.

I take one of two things from this comparison

a) the driver couldnt launch the Camaro for some reason (perhaps he was more excited to spend time in the Mustang or is a little slow)

b) if we assume the driver is of average capability and the track was just real slick, it would appear the Mustang is easier to hook-up

That said, I just can't see a 2.5x 60' unless it was raining. 2.5x is that bad.

Looks like in the first race the Camaro cut a bad short time, (the 2.5 60ft) and lost by buses. In the 2nd race they both got good launches and the GT started walking away..:-D
