Either the 1LE or PP2 may emerge as a slightly better performer than the other but that shouldn't matter too much to anybody who hasn't attached their sense of self worth to their preferred brand. Two great performers. Pick your poison.
I love that Camaros perform so well. Nothing but...
The biggest gap closer there is the wide tires. The widebody Hellcat that runs 305's cut some time off of what the standard hellcat on 275's was running on a course with turns (I.E. not a 1/4 mile track situation).
Well fortunately we don't get to just claim BS when some other brand's car is faster than we want it to be. They go into great detail about their process and numerous times and speeds they ran that day. The time stands but it will be eclipsed by other runs in auto '18+ GTs once thousands of...

I agree that it doesn't feel as fast as it is. It's only when its next to another fast car that used to beat my Scat Packs or 2017 GT that I fully realize how potent the 2018 Auto GT is. We have a Porsche Panamera Turbo, Jaguar F Type R, Nissan GTR and quick Audi and BMWs at my work.
Only one model of Camaro, the ZL1 1LE, is quicker than a 2018 Mustang GT with an auto transmission. Period.
And I'm okay with that. I don't hate Camaros or Dodges. It's all good.
You're sitting at the tint place getting your black 2018 GT done and a black 350GT R pulls in. Then 10 minutes later, another guy, who doesn't know the first, pulls in in his black GT350 R.
Had to throw mine in for a pic:
For those who have done it, what did you put in its place and how did it impact tone and volume? I love the sound of the factory set up (non active exhaust) and don't want to screw it up, just make it a bit louder.
I totally understand the difference in how it feels to roll out from a stop in the new Mustang versus the challenger scat Pack. With that car you had to train your foot to be a little easy on roll out or you would get a rush of torque that wasn't manageable or helpful, especially with the...
I also made the switch from an automatic Scat Pack Challenger to get the 2018. Background on a crazy car saga:
2015-2016-No car, fam used wife's SUV
Jan 2017-buy new 17 mustang GT base auto, low options, put 10,000 miles on it
July 2017-trade mustang in on deeply discounted Scat pack charger...
I did a ton of research and found some comparisons that showed that the 325 Michelins were wider than the 345 Nittos and 345 yokohamas. And when I had the 325s mounted up on an 11.5" wide rear wheel with a 56 offset, they took up every bit of clearance on the suspension side leaving a little...
