Nissan needs to do something

You can definitely turn some blisteringly fast laps in a 5.0 if you know what you're doing. Bloated or not it's hands-down stock vs. stock or mod for mod faster

Bloated or not it's hands-down stock vs. stock or mod for mod faster than any Z and quite possibly the best performance bargain on the market today... hats off to Ford or you're just an ignorant hater/ricer.

However, there's a reason I drive a Z and that reason is because I buy my cars to drive, not to race, and driving a Z feels better than driving a Mustang. And I like Mustangs so it's not like I'm biased.
onzedge, Magic Bus and jpkirk like this.

All styling and general preference opinions aside...
The Camaro SS1LE serves Auto-Penis to the Mustang Gt's anus on Track and the intercourse is NO GEL status. Thats the Camaro vs the brand new stang. They only compare in str8 line performance... The Camaro is cheaper and hands down has REAL track worthiness.

So the mustang, while beautiful to look at and a great road car. Is not quite the "PERFORMANCE" bargain in the muscle car arena, if we talkin' purely getting bang for buck.

If only GM offered an option to remove the nauseating retro-styling from the interior and exterior.

Can you link me to the 1LE? I haven't been keeping up lately... the only Camaro I drove was a regular old '11 SS and it was a turd compared to the '11 'Stang.

Ya know...

Last road course i uh "visited" had a Mustang which i let go in front of me when lining up.

It was a...
Mustang = More HP
Boss 302 = More more HP
Laguna Seca = More handling
on slicks = faster than me

They certainly can be fast, with the right setup and enough $$.

Soon you can add the GT350 to the list.
