I wonder if the SS is gonna take a bite at the GT350's performance?
I’m surprised I’m the first to point it out.

There has yet to be a direct comparison between the two, so we can’t say that for sure.

Closest Camaro in pictures to the GT350 is the ZL1.. Maybe they are hiding a new engine in there.. LEL

The ZL1 is better than a GT350 in almost every way, so there’s no need to benchmark that stang. I wonder if the “ZL1” is a Z28 test mule of some sort, but it wouldn’t make sense being we haven’t seen another one testing on track. Either way, the refreshed mustang has some tough competition coming its way.

This is just a thought, but I think Chevy would be successful in offering a 5.3L V8 Camaro with a low redline for about $33,000. That truck engine is cheap and reliable, and I know it’ll outrun an R/T. Heck, toss in a 5-speed manual option to match the engine’s low-rpm characteristics.

Kinda, but SS 1LE didn't win (spoiler alert). Held its own though against some very very expensive high roller cars: https://youtu.be/R4f4q52J9qY

Good catch. There appears to be at least two different upper grilles on these cars.

What do you mean by car 2 and 4?

This?
1 = Black SS Coupe
2 = White Coupe
3 = Black SS Conv
4 = Black ZL1

The ZL1 is not getting a new frontend

they are just making more panther camaros again. the camaro always resembled some kind of cat or aquatic animal.

1967 - 1969 - the real muscle car
1970 - 1982 - hammer headed shark
1983 - 1992 - tiger shark
1993 - 1997 - basically a redesign of the 3rd gen, but with a ufo body.
1998 - 2002 - catfish
2010 - 2015 - basic 1969 redesign, but with the zl1 looking like a tiger.
2016 - 2018 - black panther
2019 - whatever - another facelifted panther, or leopard.

One thing is for sure, the mustang can run 12.0 in rain. So, the SS better a 11.7 seconds in automatic 10 speed with no rain, if the king is gonna win this race.
