Don't ask me... as far as I'm concerned, the 16 SS will simply be ANNIHILATED by the GT350, particularly the R. It simply isn't on par with that car, period. As for raising prices, bank on it. There's ZERO question, unless GM wants to lose profit, prices will go up. It can be compared to the GT...

I can't see it(stock SS keeping up). 1st, it's still going to be at least as heavy... next, it's going to be way down on power. It will prove strong in torque, but the GT350 has a MASSIVE gearing advantage on top of the power. To me, a 1.5+ lat time differential... may as well be a week. That...

The 2016 Camaro SS will be NO MATCH IN ANY AVAILABLE FACTORY FORM, for the Mustang GT350R... and those same nut hugging idiots who believe the 2016 Camaro SS will be all that, will discount that truth by claiming "FORD HAD TO" (insert dunce remark here) just to beat a car it's better than. :doh...

That's really the truth of the matter, looking at results. HUGE POINT HERE... Look how many magazine tests literally GAVE the win to Camaro ZL1 when compared to Mustang Shelby GT500 ... I mean... just GAVE it a win, stating BS like, "but it feels so good" or the like. It seemed to many(and they...

Yeah, I drove the SS within a month or so of hitting dealers back in 2009. Wanted one, but poor visibility killed the idea when my woman instantly said, "This is like trying to see what's behind me in a big truck(which we had back then and she still does) and that sucks." As far as handling...

What's your point here? I mean, it isn't like I said the 1LE is a different model. I simply said that only the 1LE was tested against Mustangs once the 1LE reached production. The reason, clearly... the non 1LE SS got hammered, end of story. GM provided only 1LE versions after that and in their...

That can happen if/when, for example, the 2nd place car in the standings... also didn't podium. If they finished behind the 1st place in standings... the gap will grow.

Yeah, they made a few changes for 2012+, but you may also note, no direct tests with the non 1LE... not because it's excellent. I expect it feels fine, but considering the 2010-on Mustang beat all those SS models tested before the 1LE, I'm not going to say I believe the Camaro is better. I...

:cheers: on the "old chassis" comment. You're exactly right about that. It was 100% about bragging and 0% anything else, even when the Mustang handled better with that older chassis(and it did) until the 1LE came back. Due only to that 1LE, we've seen multiple comparisons with the Camaro...

I'm not convinced CTS-V is overpriced, but I will say that for that echelon, price isn't the biggest concern and neither is pure power. The German counterparts offer much more "stuff" than the Cadillac and that's part(much, perhaps) of why they're so much more expensive. The Camaro pricing, I...

"Would be able to" and "is going to" happen to have two completely different meanings. Nothing against you, but I'm really tired of seeing that phrase totally twisted from what it is, into something it isn't, just to "rub in" something that isn't true. Enough is enough. Nobody who works in...

Not that this matters, but the "R" and non R GT350 both have what I'd call beefed up parts. The fact it weighs less than the typical Mustang GT is actually quite a good sign. As an example, like you said here... ZO6 over standard C7. Hugely different(for all obvious reasons). :lol: You could...

That can definitely make a massive difference and it is worth remembering. :thumbsup:

Heh... that's called "bragging," not a comparison! :ford:

I totally agree with this. I didn't mean to imply which he thought would be better to DD, but that I'd surely prefer the GT and, w/o PP for me, but with an automatic. That said, there is a reason the GT in any form would be a better DD and that reason is, cost of operation. :headbonk: That...
