People can post Camaros running this and Mustangs running that blah blah blah. The only real comps I'll be interested in seeing is same day, same track, same driver comps.

Camaro6 is having a hissy fit.
They cannot get over the fact that the Stang is as quick while weighing more and having 1.2 liters less displacement.

In a straight line is basically a drivers race. Camaro still a good bit better on the track. And news flash to all Ford guys.. no on gives a fuck you have less displacement. Like you use it as bragging rights. Despite that fact you have 4 cams and 4 valves per/cyl. All that you should care about is performance at the end of the day, how its gets theres doesnt mean anything.

So your saying that it does not matter that a Boss351 Can beat a 454LS6?

Im talking about modern cars.. not dinosaurs.

Oh by the way the 5.0 weighs more lbs than the 6.2 liter LT1. Can be mounted lower and further back for better weight distribution and balance.

The LT1 has been weighed to around 455-460lbs.
Displacement is still displacement and you need far more of it.
LOL....Fact! Now go back to camero6.
Run along, chop chop.

Ok well then looks like they weight pretty much the same. So whats your excuse for the 5.0 weighing the same despite being 1.2 liters smaller?

Whats Fords excuse for being so stingy with their displacement?

Also Im a Corvette guy not a Camaro guy.

What's the difference ? Pretty obvious your not a Mustang guy.
I like Mustangs I love what Ford has done with the 2018 they're great cars. I just hate how everyone around here thinks that they're the second coming of Jesus though. Facts are there pretty much even with a Camaro in a straight line.

Who said that LOL

Camaro 6 says people on here say that but outside of a few people who for whatever reason thinks it is making 500hp at the crank (its not) no one is claiming this.

This highlights exactly why when you spread lie and false information in one place it spreads and a lot of people become misinformed. You have people claiming that the fast lists on here are lies, the vendors are lying and are in a conspiracy with Ford to sell cars using fake times, that the 15-17 can not run better then a 13.0 stock, that a 18 GT can not run better than a 12.5 stock.

It's always a driver's race. Someone could always shift slow or spin the tires. That said, the auto vs auto videos show the Mustang GT pulling away from the Camaro SS.

Being saying it for months that stock 18 would post high 11's, glad to see it has being achieved, the performance modern transmissions can extract from cars these days is fantastic. The A10 will get the gears in fast and keeps the car on the boil.

Nissan proved what a great transmission does for acceleration 9 years ago with the GTR. VW proved it with the Golf R as stage 1 (remap only) Golf R with DSG post around 11.7@120 times, whereas the manuals can struggle to go under 13s.

Modern transmissions these days are like having an extra 100-200HP in the quarter mile, makes the world of difference. :)

I am a manual purists, but the engineer in me fully agrees.

And every race is a driver's race, corvette guy. However, it is becoming more and more clear that the 2018 10AT GT has the advantage on the drag strip.
