Damn, nice kill there. 6gen seems to be a pretty stout car in Stock trim. If that was what was really racing in the vid couldn't see that we'll lol

Wow! That 6th Gen looks like a killer on the street. Looks as though GM did a great job with it. That is good to see.

It looks like the 6G relied on its top end power. Not enough torque down low to pull around the feminine powerband 5.0 at the start.

Odd, given the a8 is geared similarly to the a6 Br0. Must just be that lack of low end torque compared to the coyote motor. Relied on top end power and less weight

Personally, I am glad that GM got the Camaro back to a respectable performance level that lives up to its name and lineage. In the end, we (the consumer) all benefit from this since it causes the big 3 manufacturers to continuously elevate the performance of their cars at least until the government decides to restrict them again.

For Ford (as stated by others), this is only a temporary setback and will soon respond with a performance upgrade for the Mustang. I have a feeling that the GT350 motor will soon be the standard for the GT within a couple of years. This is a great time to be a car guy.

I'm lost, why are we talking about torque in a street race where both cars struggle for traction? - Then once traction gained, obvious result from the more powerful car...

Because this is ls1tech. We argue even when the GM vehicle wins because it should have won by more.

I won't disagree with Ford having to respond to the 6th gen - they only waited until the 5th gen ZL1 was released to drop the 662hp GT500 the following model year.

I can't see a Voodoo going mainstream GT. They wouldn't have limited the run of GT350s if this was the case. What's a Voodoo crate worth?

They'll need to address the weight gain of the s550 and get a little more power out of the coyote. I, as well, don't see a voodoo motor making a mainstream mustang. CAFE regulations FTL

5.0 have more potential than a 5.2

5.2 has 12.0:1 compression which means internal modification

5.0 doesn't need any modifications internally to run respectable 1/4 #s

Only problem is the GT350 is such a better looking car

I agree those 5.0s run great numbers, but I just can't help but wonder when gm will release a 6gen zl1, that's gonna be a crazy game changer.

The S550 could pick up quite a bit from some easy weight changes and better exhaust design. We'll see what Ford comes up with. While the interior is much better on s550 over my s197, I'm not quite sold on the looks of them yet to consider one.

GT 350 motor as is, is way to hard on fuel for aass production car. My guess is the 5.0 gets another face lift soon
