Chevy has always wondered why the mustang was 500% more popular than their ugh camaro. the reason is simple. look in the classifieds, craigslist, ebay, wherever. And Im sure you can attest to this here R1, were from basically the same area, look at the mustang ads, most ads you see for any body style stag, manual trans, whereas 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% of the camaro and trans ams, which i LOVE trans ams but HATE, DESPISE, LOATHE and any other strong word you can think of for a nasty assed camaro, are automatic. why? so you can drive and comb your mullet at the same time and so ricky dont wonder "now whyd they put 3 pedals in that thang?" and so he can smoke the 30 inch rear tires without "havin ta worry about my trick knee that i done busted up when my wife/cousin/sister done chased me with the rollin pin fer a makin fun o her curlers and i felled down in the newly dug outhouse hole. whooo-eee we done a moved up to the big time with the addition of a 'hers' side on the outhouse."

I can't remember which years but the Camero was actually faster in the 1/4 and had more power but the Mustang still out sold it. Mustang had better aftermarket support and a lot easier to work on. Heard horror stories of how hard is was to pull them Cheby motors.

I've just always had better luck with Fords. I had an S10 before, it ran and ran, but it was not easy to work on and it was real unresponsive, like breaks and steering and overall feeling of awareness to the road that all the Chevy's I've driven lack.

good video!!
and that mustang looks awesome
1/4 times under 13 seconds
hell 0.97G, almost 1G for lateral aceleration, thats awesome.
only thing ford needs is to make the engine sound like that hemi lol

 

[Mac]

This look and sound just about right?

Amazing, considering it was best in lateral acceleration yet was the only one with a solid rear axle! It's incredible what Ford can do with a solid rear axle.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

yep, sounds awesome!!

they said that the 5.0 mustang with some slicks on the rear can do a 1/4 in 12.3 seconds. and even lift the front tires.
seems like the 5.0 is coming back to kick some ass.
Ford can do an impressive work when they get into it.

That's what I'm talkin about, 5.0 is back! YEEHAW!!!!

Not that amazing yet. Let's see how it does on a road course with some bumpy corners. Skidpads are smooth as can be and the benefits of independent suspensions wouldn't be realized there.

Well, I know of several that are runnig prepared Mustangs for road courses and they seem to be doing good! One would be Jack Roush Jr who actually does race. They were running the 5.0 based on the early 4.6 in several series for the last year and doing good. Don't get fooled by that solid rear end, they have done some good design work on it. Here is the new GT-500 knocking off 8 sec quicker time at VIR from the previous 2.58 sec lap times. Love to ride shotgun with one of these guys! Anyway, fun to watch.

It's all about having the right exhaust with the right engine and drive train, and Ford's got it!

Technically a Mustang, but really? A Shelby? How about seeing what the real deal can do. We have to wait for a bit but I am sure someone will do a head to head with it and something else. Hopefully not some overweight crap like the Camaro or Challenger.

my sister has a 95 z28 with 42000 original and big surprise, hasnt run in 3 years. she kept it in the garage, covered and we stored it correctly for the winter, and it wouldnt start the next summer. towed it to west chevrolet where she bought it new, and they said it needed a new engine. now i know a crock of bs when i hear it so i went off on the guy saying hes trying to screw my sis out of money and stuff, and then we found out it woulda cost her over 5 grand cuz on that body style the engine has to come out from the bottom and its a ton of labor. i know whats wrong with it now, its that sh!tty optispark crap they came out with. piece of junk if you ask me. what a waste. bet if she had bought a last year 5.0 it would still be running. and get better mileage. i think she only averaged 15 or so in the z
