We were talking 60 ft not 0-60.
But I would suppose weight would hinder 60ft times as well...weight isnt good for anything really.
Funny how you act like the Mustang is some lightweight. It is heaver than a 4th gen as well.
With the same options the difference between the two cars is only about 200lbs. (base no option GT 3603, and only gets heavier, SS is 3849-3860) Drive with a passenger in your car and you are driving a camaro pretty much. The biggest reason the stang can cut better 60 fts is the SRA and the smaller wheel and tire combination.
And yes 4th gens pose a threat to both cars not just the mustang....they are only a few tenths behind either the camaro or mustang and can trap up to ~108.
BTW camaro enthusiast
...the stock horsepower for a 4th gen camaro ls1 is about ~350...it doesnt need mods to hit that number. They dyno roughly 300 to the wheels stock. I have seen anywhere from 280-320 rwhp stock depending on the dyno. THe ls1 was underrated in the f-body at 305-310 hp and rated at 350hp in the vette.
