Not sure but it was 87 degrees out if that helps. Car never did quite cool off from the drive there and the second run lost 3mph.

Nice run first off.

But if you can get the date and time off the slip you can go to dragtimes to figure out the DA. Just select Atco and enter the date, then find the hour you ran in, then put that weather data into the calculator, and you will know.

Well horsepower aside do you think the new GT500 handles better than our SS 5th Gen Camaros?

Norm Peterson · 08-31-2012, 10:32 AM

Completely stock vs completely stock and on smooth pavement, yes. As much as I hate to bring up magazine stats, the "regular" Mustang GT's were generally given the nod on handling before the later comparison rounds involving the ZL1 and 1LE.

From a purely technical position, the GT500 and 2SS car weights are close to a wash with the tire size & grip and wheel width advantages all going to the GT500. Especially the front tires & wheels.

In normal up to fairly hard street driving, you probably wouldn't notice any difference in the handling per se although there would be a difference in "feel". At least as long as the road isn't rough/bumpy.

I'd have posted the same thing even if I didn't happen to own a Mustang.

I have no doubt the Shelby handles better than my SS.

THE FASTEST MUSTANG VS THE fastest camero
Wow! INtense race!!!!
Mustang GT500 is a simply beast but camaro still a good car.

Cheveey57 · 03-31-2013, 07:49 PM

How was that a nice race? The ZL1 driver was a non- driver.

2xSSRS · 03-31-2013, 07:52 PM

It looked like to me that the ZL1 driver needed some line lessons.

No excuses please... No remorse
Mustang won the race ,period.

1st race, you can clearly see the mustang won by far.
2nd race, camaro driver got intimidate by the mustang.

Still, camero is a good car...

Maybe the camero can win against challenger srt8 392 ...
