The 2011+ Mustang Thread

[greenrail]

Geez, I guess, many of you don't recall the 1982 Iron Duke 2.5 litre Four cylinder Camaro Sport Coupe...... No less a piece of junk than the Mustang II.

Sorry guys, but we have had to deal with some less than stellar autos over here in the Camaro world as well

Actually, (sorry F-Bodfather) at one time or another each of the Detroit Three has laid out some pretty dubious turds out there. (Vega, Chevette, Pinto, Mustang II, Fairmont, LTD II, K-Car, Aspen, Volare, Horizon, Omni.... ad nauseum) They were all products of their times.

Thank goodness those times are gone.

The Smoking Tire Review 2011 GT


I dont think its going to be much of a drivers race stock vs stock the mustang is just too quick. Its looks like the L99 is going to need more then just 3.73's to pass the mustang.

Yep. the 12.8 and 13.0 the mustang has run so far is just too much for the camaro. No one has ever been able to match these times before or since. And it is going to take more than just a good driver to run that good. And that 110 trap...holy shit that is crazy!

I am selling my camaro.

thanks for the insight.

Am I the only one who has noticed the Car and Driver time of 13.2 @ 108 mph for the 2011 GT?

...Correction 13.2 at 109.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...take_road_test

The 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, the latter on a gloriously flat curve that peaks at 4250 rpm, are achievements. It’s enough to knock out a 60-mph sprint in 4.6 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 109 mph, which are more or less Camaro SS times. Finally, a Mustang engine that doesn’t have to eat dust from a small-block.

That 0.3 (0-60) tenths of difference from MT's test numbers probably involves traction issues. The review also stays away from the "Mustang is god" trend that we're seeing in mainstream magazine reviews. It hints at the phrase, but doesn't directly imply it like those at MotorTrend have.

In any case, the 2011 GT is showing that the comparison between it and the Camaro SS is no where near going to be a blowout, unlike the non-magazine comparisons of the 2010 MY cars.

Car and driver got a 13 flat at 111 in their first short take road test with the SS. From what it looks like so far just about anyone can run a 13 flat with the camaro and trap 110-111.

Wow...so now we have it looking like the camaro may not be slower at all. 3 tests so far. Edmunds both 13.0 with the camaro slightly higher traps. Motor trend 12.9 camaro 12.8 mustang. Now we have car and driver which shows the camaro with a .2 advantage and a 2 mph advantage.

So far the camaro looks a bit faster actually.

How many more tests before we can stop hearing the trash talk? Or does the car and driver test have less credit than the motor trend test? Either way this looks like one of the closest battles in history when it comes to the 1320.

this is priceless

It is all just a load of crap until you line both up at the track. May the best driver win.

I could care less who the best driver is. The best ET should determine the winning CAR.

May the quickest car win

So far every dual ive seen has ford in the lead 3-0. infact I could be the offical stock vs stock online score keeper.
