Pretty sweet comparison, although I doubt either of them is making 1000hp. 60-130 in about 10 sec. for 1k hp doesnt really add up. Granted both were supposedly fighting traction, but I would think it would be closer to 6 seconds, or maybe even less.

I watched this on tv Thursday night. I really don't understand some of those races and how those cars have "1000 hp" but whatever, still kind of cool.

It's TV and I'm sure they mean at the crank, take 12 percent loss to the wheels and the numbers they did make sense.
Too bad the bowtie lost, next week ZR1 up against a Viper....and Tanner is in the Vette.

Its not even close. I do 60-120 in 5.3 seconds and I have 675rwhp, this was measured on a GPS datalogger so its pretty damn accurate.

Damn, my car goes 0-135 in less than 10 sec. That must mean Im at about 1500 hp lol. When in reality my car only dyno's about 600rwhp.

Why the **** not make the camaro have 1400 hp and then dial it back to about the power teh mustang is making? I hate it when people are supposed to have a competition where something is equal and 1 has the unfair advantage. *******. I dont like being on the winning or losing side of that ****. Just annoying.
Although it is cool to see some new **** out there goin fast. Wish they had dome something to the wheels and tires. Looked like 275's out back of that Camaro. Oh well.
Hopefully the vett vs viper wont be fucked as well.

How do you get 1khp out of 70-ish trim tubo? *scratches head* I'd be happy if my TC78 on my 370 build would make 800 to the tire

So they supposedly have the same horsepower, however did anyone catch in the first video where they're talking to Tanner about the mustang and he says that it has about 100 more horsepower? It's at 4:07 in the first video. I will give credit to the Mustang though because it does looks legions better than that Camaro.

This show sucks asssss...... 1k to the wheels prove it dyno it on the show , show the people that watch the show what is really done to the cars.

LOL really? I only heard him say 1 70ish trim... If I had to 70ish trim turbo's and only put out 9-1k FLY hp, I would be upset.

And the camaro looks factory with soo much power... No big tires, no nice looking rims... nothing but "a lot of power"

Shelby looks MUCH better

I highly doubt that camaro was even close to 500 hp.... Thats what I mean, give more details on the cars. To the builders of the turbo kit and how it perform, after seeing this show makes me want to stay away from it. Who in the hell puts a single 72 mm turbo on a 364?

No way either of those cars are 1000 hp. I have a vid of my speedo in my SS doing 60-120 in under 5 seconds and it only made 650 hp. I think shows bump things up to make the average Joe who doesnt know think one thing or the other.
