Hmmmm, an everyday buyer wanting a fast car can buy a smart car. Fast is relative to your purpose. Anyone who buys this car or any other, based on performance stats is just plain nuts. I've seen the comments of two noted drift car professionals, how the car feels to them is way different than how it feels to me. If I drove like them, I'd really care what they can do with the car. I don't give a rats tooty what John or Ashley Force can do with it either, they are in a different league. I only care what I can do with the car and you should only care about what you can do. I hate Camaros, not because they perform bad or look bad. I just can't drive one the way I can a Mustang. Too me they are uncomfortable and I feel like I'm in a video game. Anyone who buys a Mustang for performance without driving a GT or SVT Mustang first is taking a large risk of not liking the car. I bought the pretty one so if I don't like driving it, at least it will look good in my garage. I doubt I won't like it
, but none of us will know what we like until we drive it.If this was the case then the mustang should have outsold the camaro due to its handling reviews and 1/4 mile times. It's not the case though. It's about looks and comfort and quality, which the new mustang is far above any of the competition in its class.
the 1LE beats the boss simply due to tire, just like the z28. It really isnt a fair comparison to put the regular GT agaisnt the 1LE.
....wake up the 1LE is a SS PP....Yes it is apples to apples.
I thought the 1le was quite a bit more expensive than a PP GT but I stand corrected.
On the flip side, if the GT+PP falls short of the 1LE because of tires, then shame on Ford for not including bigger ones with that package. They knew exactly what they were up against. If they chose not to answer, that's a bit disappointing. I guess we'll see.
well said my man. I love all mustang and I can build this one where (I) need it to be, but like Campo once said in MM&FF
The confusion is on your end, I assure you.
Well we weren't. Talking about which cars are faster modified is just plain silly. With enough money you'll beat your competition and trying to make comparisons is apples to oranges. We're talking about stock vs stock and the Camaros dominated the 90's. This is something I don't want to see happen again and if Chevy puts out another quality car like the 1LE for the Alpha platform Camaro you're likely to see that again.
The Camaros just weren't as popular, Mustang had a thick following back then. Now sale numbers are slipping and Ford won't outsell the Camaro just because there is a horse emblem on their pony car. They can't lean on a large loyal fanbase, they need to put out a competiting product.Tim Hilliard said:
Here is a teaser (and this is the Boss 302LS):
It absolultely is old news, it was old news once the 1LE came out two years ago. The Boss 302 shouldn't be what Ford is chasing, Chevy already beat it. Ford needs to shoot for the 1LE because they're about to be two steps behind once the Alpha platform Camaro comes out assuming the S550 GT PP cannot beat the 1LE in the twisties.Tim Hilliard said:
And you can do more with a car that has a higher performance ceiling, which in this case is the 1LE (when compared to the S197 GT PP, Boss 302, and even Boss 302LS). That's why its important. It doesn't matter if you can't pull the times the experts do, you're still likely to still pull better times with a 1LE than with a S197 GT PP, Boss 302, or Boss 302LS simply because it has a higher performance ceiling.
