Crazed street racers

Figure most people on this forum have CBE's HFC's intakes and maybe even a tune. Mustang guys will rush straight for CBE's and I don't see that helping them much. The new Mustang will be slower than the new Camaro, it always is, it'll overall be a better car, but I firmly believe that 99.9% of them I'll ever see I would be able to take.

It's pretty much going to be a Camaro SS less a couple hundred pounds, which, in identical conditions will beat a Camaro SS and 370Z stock for stock. That's all I'm saying, man.

Oh, and don't forget the FRPP supercharger option, installed at the dealership, before you take delivery. Nom nom nom.

I could be wrong, but I remember seeing that somewhere.

Also yeah, a Camaro is faster in a straight line and the new Mustang will almost def. be faster than a Camaro. You've got it in the turns, but else? idk.

I've never been a mustang guy but they certainly have a reason to be happy.
