Sounds like another butt hurt Mustang owner wrote the article. Got tired of seeing all the awards that Chevy won and decided to fire back with a opinionated article to justify his mediocre performing car. Surprised he didn't mention the Mustang was in response to the Corvair...oh wait...
Oh my. A bit defensive young man?
I joined because I'm hoping Ford addresses the short comings for the 2018 MCE (and makes it handle as good as a good BMW).
I don't see Chebby addressing the cosmetics of the Camaro any time soon and Ford had less to do to get the cosmetics of the Mustang...
No doubt...they're allowed to fudge up or down 1% in the states.
When Chevy said 455, it was basically that. Same goes for Dodge and Ford. Some manufactures like BMW, do not adhere to SAE and can fudge all they want, but if they fudged the numbers up they would open themselves up for a lawsuit.
It's cute how you're fudging the Mustang numbers up and the Camaro numbers down. The SS usually puts down over 400whp, 390 is considered pretty low...405-410 is the norm - as shown by numerous tests. There are some outliers above 415 and below 400, but they're just that - outliers.
I'm with this guy.
A lot of sour grapes out there. Usually this childish behavior doesn't happen until the cars get older and younger, more immature people can buy them.
Just head over to the GT350 section, there are even stickies on it.

In what lap does the GT350 overheat?
Not enough coolers I suppose.
The only Z06 that had serious overheating issues is the one that Car and Driver crashed and the intercooler pump wasn't working properly.
Read the article, the raced the ZL1 all night long and it never slowed down...
Camaro has more reinforcement than a Mustang, it's chassis is is the benchmark in the segment, I'd say that puts it above the Mustang, since it has never been the benchmark.
Ford got to a 33k price point by yanking options and creating a package most people don't want. They saved on R&D too...
Waiting for Chevy? Are you f****** kidding me? ZL1 is unveiled, specs are known. Ford hasn't even announced a GT500. We are waiting on Ford and hopefully they do a better job on this one.
An SS will probably beat a gt350 on a track, especially if it's more than a couple laps. Hardware...
I find it very very funny people hear make fun of the fact it has 11 coolers when there are multiple threads about the prized GT350 having serious overheating problems on a track. From the sound of it, it's worse than the Z06 was.
Also, a supercharged car will always have more "coolers" as...
I've been shopping both the Mustang and the Camaro and all I have for this is :frusty:
I remember reading your posts about the weight of the Gen 6 Camaro before it was released and I'm surprised you're going to try and guess weights again...:headbonk:
From what I've seen, the 1LE should...
