Actually it was Bush who passed TARP to bail out the banks and then used that money quasilegally to bail out the auto industry. Obama continued those policies and some would say took credit for it. A collapse of the auto industry would of destroyed what was left of Detroit, led to a domino...

The only reason the Mustang won is because BlaqWhole just got a new car and hasn't gone all out yet.

Funny how when Evan Smith takes a stock LS1 Camaro into the 12s it's legit to them. But when he takes the 18 into the 11s the excuses and accusations flow. Unreal.

I have some info to add from my own personal experience. My 05 GT had a Saleen blower on it. OF all the S197 4.6 blower the Saleen was one of the hotter blowers you could get. Restrictive intercooler, small heat exchanger and the fact it sat upside down with the head unit blowing up into the...

OP on the Camaro6 forum someone just got an 11.95 @ 118 bone stock down to the tires. It was an auto. The 118 is a bit unsettling.

Someone just got an 11.9 on the 2016 SS bone stock including tires. I don't know what the DA was though. So best pass to best pass it's Camaro 11.9 and the Stang at 12.4. Gotta love those auto cars.

A guy at Atco 2 years ago had a CAI, tune, splice in X-pipe (retained cats) and drag radials on his 2011-14 and it ran 11.90s in that low Atco DA. Everybody swore he had a converter in it too. It was the beginning of me wanting a 5.0.

Another SS dyno is out. This time Hennessey strapped one down. I don't know if these figures are corrected or not but 431rwhp 427 rwtq. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/camaro-more-powerful-c7-corvette-153052771.html Not sure if it's a manual or auto.

Op be patient and hold off. I too want my Mustang now. But I am waiting until I save up enough to probably pay for it cash. I know we all have to balance things we want with financial responsibility and that we only live once but you have to know when to draw a line. Save up for a year, fix...

Pretty impressive runs so far for the new Camaro. I am wondering if it has any wheel hop and how strong the halfshafts are. I'm having flashbacks to the last LT1 when the Stangs of comparable years had 205 and 215 hp compared to 285. At least here it's a bit closer performance wise. Wish I was...

There are plenty of people on this site who don't have Mustangs that post alot and are respected members. I dont see any reason not owning a new Mustang takes away any credibility or gives you less weight in forum discussions.

I think that both the GT350 and the Camaro will have better 1/4 mile times to come. Way too many variables to just say the GT350's best times are these given. The trap speeds alone say there is more ET in them. I hate magazine tests because except for Road and Track you dont get the full run...

I hope not. Their last blower while good soon lost all supports from them as they financially imploded. It wasnt the best option for the 4.6 3v, but wasnt the worst either. Its just that they stopped supporting it and making spare parts. No bypass valves were to be found if your went bad. One of...

Hey Kyle, How much at the wheels is this new calibration gonna make? Could you give an estimate for manual and auto please? Thanks!

About what I expected for the auto. The 8 speed auto is gonna be a 1/4 mile beast at that weight. Cant wait to see what some get at Atco on some low DA nights.

At work today a big argument broke out about what octane to run in your car. Someone said their mechanic told them running higher octane makes the car run cooler and therefore will have a longer life. I didnt agree with this. I stated that octane is added to increase the ignition temperature to...

I have different accounts for different purposes. I have a deferred comp from work with the majority of my money. I also have a taxable dividend growth portfolio. This is my active one. I only try to pick hold forever stocks that will not only pay a dividend but increase it year after year. If...

Yeah my portfolio is reacting the same. Im just used to the last 3 or 4 years of gains. But since that bad Monday the market is creeping back above 16000 and 2000 respectively.

Im with you... I dont get the hate of these cars. Hate that is trying to give the cars a heavier weight than reality along with alot less rwhp. I had to live through that era in a 94 GT. LT1s and LS1s were crushing Mustangs. At the time I was young and foolish and would street race all the time...

I dont know where you are getting that weight from. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sports/112_9807_camaro_vs_mustang/tech_data.html Way too many people got 290-300+ rwhp on the dyno. The car was a mid to high 13 second car. In the hands of tiny fraction the car ran low 13 high 12s. The...
