I've seen vids and test after test that show the mustang running everything from a 12.7 to 13.3 so you have your pic of which test you wanna stand behind. My guess is the chevy guys will go with the slower one and the mustang guys on there board will go with the faster one. Bottom line this GT will be a force to be reckoned with so down play it at your own risk. The real test will come once they hit the street. If Ford price'm like they say they will my guess is you will see a ton of them.

Even the optional tires are not good enough IMO. 255's are just not enough to put down 412 hp on a launch, although I do understand that they are going for an overall balance with these tires. I just think the GT would be better off if they'd offered (at least as an option) some 275's out back. Of course, these tires are only a point of contention to ppl who are obsessing over factory stock 1/4 mile times. If I intended to bring my 5.0 to the track regularly, it would be with some proper DR's out back.

Man, I didn't realize the tires were so wimpy. I'd swap those in two seconds. Their height makes them kind of odd though (27" tall), but that is like a free gear swap if you go with 26" tires which are way cheaper and more plentiful. Replacing the 29" tall tires on the Camaro with 26's is too much.

I don't think the Mustang needs as much tire to get off the line due to the solid rear, and the much lower low end torque compared to the Camaro. Unless you are launching at 6500 rpm, you are not trying to put down anywhere near 412 hp on the launch. I agree about comparing the two once both have an adequate tire, but most people want to compare stock vs. stock down to the tire. Many people said the Camaro couldn't compete, and it is turning out to be neck and neck in many cases with the Mustang. I don't think that is what Ford was aiming for.

365. my bad.

and a tune. gt is obviously no slouch. but it's not the camaro slayer it was made out to be by the hype.

the gt also has a gearing advantage in the trans--- it's a 6 speed with only one overdrive. 5th is 1:1

Evolution performance just dynoed the mustang with some bolt ons.
Off-road x-pipe, catback exhaust, k&n drop in air filter, and a custom tune they are still working on it made 405rwhp and 375trq on a mustang dyno.

They also just ran 12.04 at 117 with the above mods on Bogarts..

117 on stock manifolds and intake?

Camaro Z

They have factory mid-length/shorty headers, and they also say it's just a drop in K&N filter with a stock intake.

My motor trend came today and they are saying 12.8@110.8 0-60 4.3 that's a 6spd with opt. 3.73 (only $395). Even more amazing is the 6cyl? 0-60 in 5.1 and 13.7 @102... For $22k 13.7 in a 6cyl Mustang is pretty damn good. And the 6cyl has the same trans', both auto and manual, as the GT. Throw 125 shot on the 6cyl costs you what? and you're running mid 12's. Bargain of the century..

they picked up 7 mph with 40 hp?


it's trapping the same speed as a gt500 with 100 less hp...

how much weight came off this car?

It makes you wonder how honda, nissan, etc. can get away with charging premium money (30k+) for their V6 "performance" vehicles that are no better than a 23-24k mustang or camaro v6. My sincere wish is for the challenger to also come to the party with a decent V6 and to show people how overpriced their japanese and european "sports cars" are.
