Say what you will, but when it comes to Camaro and Mustang... Ford engineers wait for no one. From retro to classic, track oriented packages to full blown at a premium. If an update comes around the time of the 6th gen Camaro, please, don't take it personal because this pony is the originator and in some eyes two steps ahead of the game. I say this in the least confrontational way I possibly can. |
I wouldn't be to sure about that. Even at current power levels if gm can drop weight it will be as fast or faster then the 5.0.

It's definitely going to handle A LOT better.

By all means it should handle better but its gonna be fun to watch "those" guys only care about drag to now jump on the road course ban wagon.

Impressive for sure.

Personally, I could careless about who is faster on a road course. As long as I can beat that ass from stop light to stop light or dragstip, I am content...have fun with your orange cones.

Maybe you only care about drag racing but that in no way is what the 1le was built for and you know that. Sorta like comparing lap times of a top fuel car and time slips of a Indy car then complaining.
