until we see a full slip, for all we know the mustang was spinning since we all know the tires suck on it. i mean it was 3mph ahead in the 1/8th
and ive been following a lot of the drag racing section in here, hasnt the auto camaro, been on average, the better performer?

No...the 26 extra horsepower the ls3 makes over the L99 would make up 2-3 tenths. What did you think I was talking about? The auto mustang has the same motor as the manual transmission car and may very well be faster than the m6 counterpart. This test was not top drivetrain vs top drivetrain...another skewed test...that seems to be par for the course so far. Until I see m6 vs m6 I could care less about this test.
I guess to look at it how you said 14hp would make up .14 tenths. Giving the mustang about a .1 tenth advantage. DRIVERS RACE. Yeah I would call it neck and neck.
This just keeps re-affirming what I have been saying all along. .6 tenths 2010 mustang vs camaro= drivers race. 2011 mustang beats camaro by a couple tenths= king of the hill.
The L99 has also ran like crap on several occasions. Also, The fastest L99 time is .3 tenths slower than the LS3. Again...making up the difference.
When isnt the auto on average a better performer? a lot less user error with any vehicle auto vs manual. But it isnt exactly fair in this case when a manual transmission camaro comes with an extra 26 hp over the auto....
