The new Mustang GT with 460BHP is in ZL1 Camaro weight ranges so 5 less BHP and 35 more ft-lbs of torque on the Camaro is more then enough.

First of all doc7000, the 2018 stang is underrated, the cars are dynoing about 420 rwhp which is 480 plus HP at the flywheel, the stang is using the super great 10 speed automatic that Camaro only uses in the ZL1, the stang is using more gear and the great Michelin pilot 4S tires for more bite. The stang is easily getting 118 and 119 mph trap speeds in the 1/4 mile versus 115/116 for Camaro proving more HP. If Camaro does nothing the 18 GT stangs will be winning a lot more drag races. Camaro had the mustang GT covered for the 15, 16 and 17 model years, but that's over for 18.
