Ford's vision for the future of the Mustang was not clear nor written in stone when the Mustang 1 or the 65 were launched, but it certainly evolved into whatever it had to be for the times it found itself in. Sports car? Muscle car? Drag car? Track car? Show car? World car? Yes! Whatever Ford...
In the pictures below I think I see the missing structural metal between the B & C pillars in the Camaro that the Pill was referring to.
I have very poorly outlined in green the area of the interior chassis of the Camaro that has no metal and where you can see the exterior body panel. The red...
Anyone who thinks a car forum should aspire to be something like a scientific forum on physics and cosmology should give their head a shake.
Car forums are little more than a meeting place for gear heads and hot-rodders who refuse to let the 60s die. We didn't know shit about what we were...
Way back when, I was eager to have you and others help us understand the engineering that went into a performance car chassis. Your interest and enthusiasm for this topic has been amazing. I have learned a lot from all the time you have put into this work so I thank you for that.
I wish a few...
When I checked the schedule earlier in the week, the CTSC race was not on the list for IMSA Live TV (http://imsatv.imsa.com/). When I checked again on Friday, it was carried live, but only for about 1/4 of the GS race. The rest was those dammed STs.
It's a sure bet the Camaros will get lots of exposure on camera. For their first race they will likely come in underbopped while the Mustangs will pay dearly for their successful pit strategy and Jack Roush's hero run through the field.
How would one know that the Mustangs did well. They never get the cameras off the dammed ST cars. If the field were 30 GS cars and 4 ST cars we still would have to watch the ST race.
That run by Jack Roush Jr from last to 6th(?) should have been followed all the way. Then I would have been...
There certainly seems to be some evidence for what you suggest from the PWC race in St. Pete's. New track record by C-GT4 while qualifying (cooler). It jumped past the Boss at the start of race 2 (while still cool). It stayed on the Boss's tail after activating the Rear-Bumper Detach and Drag...
Here is an article with further info.

It looks like only one Camaro GT4 from Stevenson, while drivers Andrew Davis and Lawson Aschenbach remain behind the wheel of the No. 57 Audi R8 LMS in the...
It's also curious to see that Multimatic has turned over their GT4 car and drivers (but not their number 15) to KohR Motorsports for the Sebring race. No Multimatic car in the race. Did some rules get changed, like builders can't be racers in GS?
I was hoping to see the Mustang GT4.R go up against it's Camaro equivalent this weekend at Sebring, but it looks like the Camaro is not ready yet for IMSA.
The Camaros thought they were ready for the PWC race in St. Pete's last weekend, but a grandfathered 302.R showed them who was still The...
The ZL1 1LE GT4.R sure didn't appear to be much of a halo car at the PWC last weekend, getting beat twice in a row by a grandfathered Boss 302. Probably had something to do with lack of visibility of the curbs at turn 3.
I sure would be depressed now if I was expecting the new Camaro GT4 to...
Yes!
Although all numbers are down, the Mustang still clobbers the Camaro in Canada and Europe.
In Canada there were 127 Camaros sold in November and almost twice as many Mustangs at 247.
In Europe there were 73 Camaros sold in OCTOBER and more that 10 times as many Mustangs at 747.
No matter how hard I try to see the 6G favorably as a Camaro fan might, all I can see is a 2G Camaro with a Darth Vader mask and some imported rear end parts. There is nothing classic nor attractive in the 6G for me.
As we all expected, some of the Mustang sales that didn't happen in the US in September were shipped overseas to fill the backlog.
European Mustang sales jumped from 961 in August to 1,311 in September. Mustangs 5th best month out of 18.
Camaro dropped from 88 in August to 81.
I don't know about DI, but Multimatic has confirmed to me on FB that the Mustang GT4 has a 5.2L CPC.
Now I am going to speculate that their will be a 5.2L CPC GT for 2018, maybe the base GT, and a 5.2L FPC GT3 to replace the GT350.
Don't forget that Mustang is still outselling Camaro by 2 to 1 in Canada and by the thousands overseas, while Chevy is trying to give away the Camaro in the US.
