I agree with you totally! So was the New mustang ran in a 1.32:1 4th gear instead of the 1:1 5th??? If thats the case it should be making around 375rwhp right? I think it will end up being a drivers race!

Car & Driver: "With the six-speed automatic, the Camaro SS can hit 60 mph in a scant 4.6 seconds, with the quarter-mile arriving in 13.1 at 109 mph."

Road & Track: "With 426 bhp and a 3860-lb. curb weight, the car hits 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.0 at 111.1 mph."

Popular Mechanics: "We hit 100 mph in 10.74 seconds and the quarter-mile was dispatched in 13.02 seconds at 111.43 mph."

We were averaging 13.0 in our initial reviews and improved from there. I am struggling to find anything citing as low as 12.8. It is fair to give the Mustang the upper hand by up to .2 for now. This is a close race.

Thanks, a lot of good points made by you, Stew, a_Username, and Evil Twin in the last couple of pages.

right.

im guessing on average it should put down ~365 rwhp

good for Mustang fans! Now they have some real engines to brag about.

I still think the 'stang is the least attractive of the 3 ponys.

I don't think Chevy will lag behind too long.

Hope they had fun beating up on the L99

This thread is growing so fast I can only assume that no matter what people may say against the Mustang. We Camaro lovers are 'concerned' to say the least about having a car that is actually in the same league now!

Guess what? It's time for Chevy's response!

We'll find out soon enough. Pretty generous dyno.... Or is it?

Exactly. Dynoing a car in any gear steeper than a 1:1 ratio is typically going to worsen your results. That said, I also agree that there many of these dyno results have done little more than show how erratic such testing can be as there is no way in Hell that this car makes 465hp at the crank as one dyno poll suggests. The 435hp crank hp another source came up with is a good deal more believable if the car is indeed under-rated, but that number could be off as well.

I have got to agree with the Comments about the rear end of the 2010-2011 Mustang, Ugly.. I love the front and hood though..

Shelby did some design work on the 2011 GT350 and I really like what they have done...

I would own this car..( if it was not for the price)
