It seems the 2011 Mustang Gt's performance was "Inflated" vs 2010 Camaro

Agreed. The 5.0 hype will no doubt cause people that normally wouldn't buy a Mustang, to buy one. You'll also see a lot of them wrecked because these same people are used to FWD cars with 160hp tops.

Hehehehe... They both look great to me. I can't see an "ugly" argument.

Hey... I don't make OR drive 'em, but the V6 Camry and Altima and Maxima and Accord are all around about 265 and most V6 GM and Ford products anymore, have over 200. Besides, it's TORQUE that'll do 'em in on the take off. But not the "old folks" we're talking about.
PS... Did you get that buzzard from a radio station? It totally resembles one I used to see in Cleveland Ohio.

Yeah... WMMS 100.7 "The BUZZARD" Rock-n-Roll. It was a big thing at one point.
I'm thinking I saw a pick with pure slicks on the car... Maybe I'm remembering JPC's instead...
Well, whatever... They're haulin' *****. Soon, we'll find the weak point in this new Mustang GT. On the other hand, mid 10's and 1.4 shorts doesn't really make a case for weakness... Credit is due the new car.

No no, I won't be in the mustang. You must be confused. I will be in the better looking faster car with the bowtie.
Look, I give ford credit on finally putting a good motor in their halo car. I am skeptic and want to see how the car does in the hands of normal owners. 1.4 60' is awesome and that going to be the Camaro's down fall with the IRS at the track. 1.6 is about the best I've seen. Nitrous is not a good way to judge a car IMO. Sure a shop will spray the hell out of their car but will an average guy really throw a ton of N2O at his new car. We'll see what happens when these cars start getting to the local test and tunes. And yes, I'm a fan boy. Everyone is to some extent. If all you guys weren't fanboy's then you wouldn't be on LS1tech talking ****. I will always look for the downfalls and short comings of the mustang. If I didn't me and my friends wouldn't be able to give each other **** at the track.

When the new SS came out, one of the 1st things I said was that I expected it to really respond to nitrous. One thing's for sure. Nitrous is a great "test" because if there's an honest weakness, you'll find it with nitrous!

Nieve Camaro owners
Im for the general all the way but Ford has really stepped it up. Just went to the book store and MMFF just did a review on the 11 stang, Let me tell you that thing is MEAN on stock tires it went like 12.6 @112 and when they put on some 275dr it went like 12.1,12.2 @111-112 it even lifted the drivers side tire. So all you SS owners thinkin its a driver's race the only thing you'll be looking at is the tail lights of the stang sorry.

Lets see what the regular owners do with the car. Its so easy to say what professional magazines like mmff and tuner shops like evolution do. They are selling a product and have a interest in seeing the 5.0 do well. The proof will come when the average joe tries to repeat those times.
#338
Yeah, I haven't seen one yet at the local track below 13.5, with most running 14s. I got to line up against one when I was on street tires. It was bus lengths and I only ran a 13.2@117.
#339
Where are you getting your info from? I've been reseaching both cars for a while know and I have never seen those kind of times from a reliable source on a stock SS with street tires.
#340
I mean comon, are you serious!!? This is right from the start that mags ran the 10' SS to 111mph in the 1/4. Do you really think nobody is gonna figure out how to lunch this car?
