Interesting how you seem to believe the Camaro is a featherweight. You know the SS 1LE and the GT350R with Electronics Package are within 40 lbs of each other, right? And the GT350R isn't light by any stretch. But do go on telling us how the Camaro somehow floats across the road like a leaf.
And yeah, you did say they aren't closing the gap. These were your exact words:
Meaning you don't think they're closing the [imaginary] gap and "maybe" they can with the next Mustang. Truth be told there are no shortages of YouTube videos showing it's a driver's race between the GT and the SS. I believe the Ecoboost stomps the lower Camaros. And the new GT500 is going to stomp the ZL1s. Your perception that the Camaro is the performance king is a fallacy. It's the same fight it's always been. Some days the Camaro will come out on top, other days the Mustang will come out on top.
Apparently you wish I didn't. I hate to burst your bubble, but yes, I DO own one. 2017 Lightning Blue, chassis HR270.
I don't know who you think I am, but I'm not on Mustang 6G. And I'm not here trolling. Just trying to keep you guys in perspective. Some of you are EXACTLY like the Mustang fanboys. Your blinders are on so tight that you can't, and refuse to, see reality. BlaqWhole is so bad that every one of his posts is doublespeak: "The new GT500 is a joke and won't hang with the ZL1. But if it does, it took them 6 years to do it. blah blah blah" Who cares how long it took them to do it as long as they did it? Don't be trying to write in a backdoor for yourself. Speak your words and stand behind them. We won't make you eat the whole crow, just a few bites.
Wrong. I guess the Camaro guys are getting ripped off big time for mods. It's only a few hundred bucks for a pulley and tune for a GT500. Maybe the Camaro does, but Mustangs don't have to have a new fuel system to run E85. Very few GT500 owners change their fuel system just to run E85. And what labor cost could there possibly be with changing a pulley?? It's a 5 minute job whether you do it yourself or a shop does it. Have you ever worked on your own car??
A handheld tuner, canned tune and a pulley is under $1000 dollars (for a GT500), AKA a few hundred bucks. You guys may want to switch over to Mustangs so you can save money on mods. LOL

Show me a independent review of a gt350 or R beating the SS1le? But there are more track times with the 1le close to R times, and we know the R is about 3 sec faster then a base GT350. You just can’t admit a 20,000 cheaper car can run with your gt350.
