The Mustang matched the Camaro to 60mph at 4.6 sec, limited slightly by an extra upshift, but it trailed by half a second to 100mph, and in the quarter mile:13.2@ seconds at 109mph vs 13 flat at 111mph.
Am I reading that right. The Mustang with the manual had to go to 3rd before 60, despite a 7000 RPM redline? If so, it almost sounds like 2nd in the Mustang is about the same ratio as 1st in the Camaro.
