I'm sorry but that looked a little staged!! the other two did'nt even realy take off hard at all and it look like they had there trackion control on! just sould of bein a closer mach if the right drivers where there and not staged!!I'm sorry but my 2000 camaro would take that mustang off the line lol but get me on the other end. the guy in the camaro does"nt take off as hard as i do and mines a auto but drive it like a stick! by looking at that vidio its clear it was just a stage show just to sale mustangs!! :2cents:

According to Car & Driver, the Mustang was only faster than the Camaro SS in the 0 - 60mph run. Supposedly the Camaro was .2 faster in the 1/4 mile and also beat the Mustang in the 0 - 100mph comparison. :?

The Charger and SS are both heavier than the mustang, i've also seen them run low 12s at the track. The one I saw was auto with just a tune. Finally the modular mustang can be considered fast, for years it was a dog, I know since I had one. But funny back then it still outsold the camaro 2-1 but now the camaro is out selling mustang!

Motor trend or car and driver... Journalists who get the play with cars, not racers who get to write articles.

Callenger guy couldn't shift, stang was a auto, not sure on the Chevy but not a fair video for any make in any way.

The chevy guys all cried foul when the GT500 smoked the SS camaro :cry: , said it wasn't a fair matchup :roll: . Well this is just a little factory stock 5.0, Whatcha gonna cry about now :P
All jokes aside, this race did look staged,these cars are so close performance-wise, I think with the right driver any of the three might win this race on any given day. :2cents:

The GT500 is the top of the line Mustang, the SS is the top of the line Camaro. If Chevy wants bragging rights how 'bout a new Yenko SC Camaro :dk:
But then they'd probably have to hit Obama up for another loan to do that :wink:

Calm down. You sound like a Chevy guy hiding in a Ford closet.

Not tring to be a smart a$$ but Yenko is dead and Shelby isn't :wink: I'm a ford and chevy owner and that would be like my bump against my chevelle. It depends on who is in the seat. You put me in my bump and someone that can't drive in my chevelle and I'd win. You put me in my chevelle and someone that knows how to race in my bump and it would be a better race,but I'd still win. Depends on both cars and drivers. :thup: Just my :2cents:
