What about the muscle cars? We can say that Ford’s Advancetrac traction control for the Mustang 5.0 GT is awesome. This system provided the optimum amount of wheelspin for dragstrip launches delivering consistent 13.5-second passes. This is quicker than the 370Z at the strip. Turning off the Advancetrac nearly put our Mustang GT into the wall as the ECU was slow to respond to lifting off the trottle. As for the Camaro SS, our tester was a pig. It took a thorough beating to get a 13.8-second pass and it delivered less horsepower on the dyno than the Mustang 5.0.
Perhaps our tester was a lemon…sad that it came from our tax payer dollars given to “Government Motors”. While the muscle cars could hang on the strip, they definitely had issues on the track. The Camaro SS faired better than the Mustang GT on track delivering a 1:29.623 best lap while the Mustang GT ran a best 1:30.413. This put the Camaro SS a second behind the 370Z and the Mustang GT nearly two seconds behind. However, neither the Camaro SS nor the Mustang GT entered a limp mode.

American muscle cars found to be primarily good in a straight line and lacking quality?

Unheard of!

Something so blindingly obvious goes hand in hand with other truths, like Pluto being a planet.

The ECU is programmed to severely hinder power output if it deems the engine-oil temperature too high. This wouldn’t be a problem if the oil coolers provided by Nissan managed to keep the oil temps away from this point, but they simply do not.
Quote:
For a car that’s been engineered to deliver serious performance, it’s sad that the factory oil coolers were apparently installed for show points.
Wait the car Dsport tested had not one, but multiple oil coolers installed from the factory...? well that's hardly a fair comparison then....

13.5 included starting the car and letting it warm up.

D sport is a very good magazine when reading about mods and upgrades. And even though I can see where there coming from as far as the reasons they believe why the Z is there pick. They made it hard to convince me that the camaro and mustang are sub par. As far as the camaro SS. I already made one look like a baby in Zenrobia(my last Z) I never came across a new GT and don't plan to without mods. I figured the camaro would be a drives race and sine the guys had a 6m I said..."he's toast and I toasted em on the track, lovely. But I can agree with 2 things.
1. Price to performance, nothing comapares on the overall package.
2. With the right preliminary mods the Z is one hell of a machine.

I think you're thinking of the old mustang.

I saw you hanging out with some 5.0 drivers...and they both had the same haircut at you:roflpuke2:

No mullets! They add 50whp and that's just not fair. :shakes head:

None of this matters. As nothing can beat my prius now that i have some LoPro tires on that beast.

Well when you step out of the mustang, your hair reverts back to its pre-mullet form.

D sport has always been a joke. Even in high school I thought it was satire.

Surprised you made an ss look like a baby...what time did he run?

Come on, join in. There's not much else to do, and it's fun to make fun of guys that get paid to write about cars and can't even do it well.
