Same here sound like Ford tried to put in a ringer car for the lap test. I don't know why else you would change cars.

Ford won the straight line by .1 and 2mph. With a smaller tire.

Yet right on 1le heels in track.

I'm more impressed with a new irs, body style, more weight right there with a car that's been out that was built to compete with old boss. Which ford says is still on the way in some for of boss/mach 1 or some other variant that could be 500hp n/a not needing 7 liters.

Not to mention last test these guys did the gt500 spanked the zl1 in every way. Yet the zl1 won? Rigged

Ouch...but that was expected the new mustang wasnt as fast as the 1LE/Boss on a track with the numbers they got out of the first reviews.

don't hate. Yes the GT500 is a faster car than the ZL1, but driving experience says a lot about a car. And obviously, the camaro seemed more fun to drive, and faster around a race track. And I'm not a brand-boy, I prefer GM to Ford most of the time, but being real here; the camaro won. It won in my book mainly because of that horrendous ******* look of the new mustang. My god. Fire whoever designed that. One of the ford guys must have let his autistic 6 year old nephew design it.

Agree. The new Mustang body will take time to get used to. This happens quite a bit though with many cars when a new model is introduced though.
I read somewhere that they gave the Mustang a somewhat of a Euro design so they can try to market them in Europe as competition to BMW.

So a comparison of a base 5.0 vs a 1le? And it still almost won around a track... seems like a win to Ford.

So a track pack mustang is base now? And losing by 1.5sec on a short race track means 'almost won'? ..confused
Its a huge loss for Ford in every way.

Its track pack Ford vs track pack GM.
Do you know a 1LE still has the LS3 and regular Brembo SS brakes? Its not a ZL1!!

They tell you what it means in the vid...... you should watch it. What it means is the track pak stang gets its *** whopped by 3 of the 4 camaro models in varying degrees. The standard ss is probably a good run for a track pak car.

My guess is the ringer car was the yellow one. The camaro constantly out mph'd the black car on track.

I don't have to watch a video about something I already know. Track pack literally is nothing special like you guys make the "1LE" out to be. Either way, American cars can't handle so we all resort to that bad *** drag racing, in which the 5.0 has beat the SS everytime.

The yellow car has been in tons of first drives. It must have been an early mule for testers. All driving through the LA mountains. The 2nd test must have taken place on a later date and ford supplied one for just them to have for a day. Sorry to burst your ringer bubble.

Obvious american car can't handle troll was obvious. At least you were smart enough to catch onto that... Failure? Not completely. Definitely would rather get a base, and with saved money buy a Watts link, coilover kit and good tires like what a "track pack" should come with.
