Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there

I am very happy the Stang will be able to lay that Camaro to rest. With 400 HP and at least less 200 pounds of weight, the Stang will be on top of the musclecar wars again!! GREAT for Ford!

Honestly.. the Stang should have had more power than the Z the whole time! The new Stang will not handle better than the Z still. Thus, the Z is still the handler while the Stang will be the straightliner. The more things change, the more they stay the same....

Can't wait to see the new Bullitt!!!

I think it will be interesting, not sure I'd lay money on the stang. Camaro comes with 426 (curb weight 3849) in the 2SS. Although I cant find any news on what the new tires will be, the camaro runs 275s in the rear. The latest stangs have been running skinnier than that, which would give the maro a slight advantage hooking up (if they remain with the skinnier tires).
Good to see both brands at it though, no matter who would win!

makes sense. though if i absolutely had to choose, i'd rather take the camaro. looks a bit better, and doesn't have a suspension from the beginning of last century.

Yet you talk about the Mustang being a bad road course vehicle and the Camaro has worse results than the Mustang. The only test the Camaro won on was the straight line race, which it one by less than .1 second against the Mustang.

obviously if i had to buy a muscle car it would not be for road course perofrmance, since none of them is very good at it. being the best out of a bunch of crap performers still makes you a crap performer. obviously while the camaro has a theoretically superior suspension setup it hasnt been tuned properly by gm compared to ford's tuning of the live axle. still i'll take the camaro just to avoid the stigma of having a solid axle suspension

Jesus christ, you're as bad as all the muscle car morons calling any car with the logo of an Asian company a rice-mobile. Except, you're just the opposite. You obviously have no first hand experience in the racing department, so you aren't even using your ever-so-amazing IRS to a limit that a live axle couldn't compete with in the first place.
