Yup, I'm convinced I can get it down to 3400 dry and completely daily drivable: radio, carpet, interior panels, 4 seats.

Both cars have absolute GARBAGE tires so please dont give that advantage to the boss. What i see is a car that turns harder and accelerates faster, beating an SS pretty well on the road course.

I understand you like camaros... its clear.. you hate mustangs, thats also clear. But please do not compare these 2 cars and give credit where its due. If you watched any GT racing, you would see that this looks like 2 cars that are in 2 different classes racing each other.
So you think it ok to compare a 2010 camaro with who know how many miles vs the lastest greatest handling version of the mustang in 2012??? That really seems fair to you ??? Come on man.

I undertand you like mustangs...it's clear....but fair is fair. How would the 5.0 stack up against the Camaro or the Boss on that coarse? I have worked on gt cars. A 2sec spread is a class.

Pretty sure I can get my 2011 SS there, just need a few more wallet mods to the suspension and brakes, and some race seats. It's 3610 right now with a 6 pt rollbar wet, full interior, heavy stock seats, stereo, etc.
