You know, watching that initial launch on the dirt....the Camaro just spun tires all day.... Going to bet that on dirt, the tires played a bigger role in the outcome than I first thought...
The Michelins do have a better grip on dirt than the Goodyears, not to mention it's still a size smaller than the Camaro, not to mention not as nearly as wide...

A drag race between a Mustang and a Camaro on dirt just seems so pointless.

Couldn't agree more. Dumbest race ever.

Indeed...not a single bit of it was even relevant to the discussion....

The 1LE is clearly the superior track performer but what's going on with the GT's higher speed acceleration?

DOHC's tend to breathe better than OHVs at higher rpms. Can't remember if the GT had the 10AT or M6, but if 10AT, that also helps it out a bunch on the top end.

The mustangs done at the end of 5th gear. If they ran the race for a mile and a half the camaro would have passed it.

I'm not gonna lie, the PP2 has some serious rubber on it... I'm thinking that it'll give the 1LE all it can handle and then some for a sprint.
