We can argue about how big that actual advantage is, but reguardless, there is still an advantage there.

Hypothetically and circumventing the magazine's real world results accounts for the weight advantage though miniscule, Thus evidentally proven to be adequatly essential to the entire process. YOU'RE FU%#*ING KILLING ME! All i hear is blah blah blah, i have thousands of posts on a camaro forum, don't have a car, and like to bother people.

It was interesting, but had absolutely nothing to do with any production or even reasonably modified Camaro or Mustang. Fun to watch, but not much use to mortals!

You do know the name of the show was SUPER car challenge. It was awesome.
I already know stock what those cars can do.

wylde1 · 08-10-2010, 10:18 AM

I like it

I don't want to see average mods that everyone can do on TV. I want to see rediculousness so I can imagine owning that car someday. That's why I love Top Gear. They just blow the tires off half million dollar cars and make me happy. They test regular cars too i guess, but they always have to stretch to make those interesting.

I'd much rather watch 2000 hp run around than 800, I can see 800 looking out my window.

Camarorss350 · 08-10-2010, 10:19 AM

They also shouldn't compare 2 different cars with two different drivers. If they wanted to be more precise they wouldve had the same driver for each car with multiple runs, but the show is meant for entertainment not for factual documentation. I enjoyed just seeing a ridiculous rendition of my car in HD on my big-ass TV hahaha.

calm down. The New GT has been proven to be quicker than the SS its not the end of the world, its still a close race. dont take it so personal. Im sure the camaro will keep up better once it loses a few hundred lbs.

BackinBlackSS/RS · 08-10-2010, 10:51 AM

We will let you have a little glory now.

It has been a LONG time since a GT could beat a SS or Z28. Even though the SS makes more power the 5.0 is lighter and has better gearing which gives it a slight advantage in the hands of the right driver. It really is good for both brands to be neck and neck. They will keep pushing each other.

Bob Cosby · 08-10-2010, 12:12 PM

I think peak power is pretty close between the LS3 and the 5.0, but the factory rev limiter really hinders the Ford, which gives the LS3 a noticeable advantage in average power in each gear.

Beyond that, I agree with the above post. It's all good!
