Right?
Oh..thats right..they didnt. They voted the Camaro as first, Mustang second..Challenger third. The Camaro turned in a flat 13 second 1/4 mile ET in the first review. It turned in a 13.1 in the second, thats one tenth of a second! You're seriously throwing a fit over a tenth of a second? Have you considered the air might be different then? different temps? different barometric pressure? If ONE of those is even slightly different it could result in a different time. JUST ONE.
The Mustang is 200 or so pounds lighter than the Camaro, that equates to about two 10ths in the 1/4 mile, sometimes more..sometimes less..depends on weather conditions that day.
Also..your quote about still putting it first? It lost, period. It was slower, heavier and didnt grip or turn as well. It deserved to NOT be in first because it came in at MINIMUM second in all areas.
BTW the Mustang won the best new sports/muscle car for 2005 in Canada(thats a big deal). It took second place in the 2005 Detroit North American International Auto Show(thats a big deal) , behind the 300C. The Mustang INVENTED the pony car class and led the way.
Dont even think about making a jab at the Challenger either, I know it isnt as fast, but I'm happy with my car. |
Motor trend has always been complaining about the interior of the camaro.
they never liked the oversized steering wheel and shift nob, and how cramped it felt. and they liked the mustang on mostly everything except the power. as i recalled both cars where so close they called it a photo-finish.
the camaro also din't will all the comparo's, car & driver chose the mustang.
Ford basically fixed everything that was wrong with the mustang, and made it better.
this is indeed a worthy rival
