But on the street, under less than ideal circumstances, the Camaro makes it much easier to put its power down effectively. Maybe it's the rubber Chevy provides stock, maybe the gearing, weight distribution, I don't know, but it's pretty easy to wring everything it has out of it, at least in a straight line.
When it comes to handling, I don't don't think there is any real dispute. The Camaro SS wins that easily, and the 1LE.....no n/a 392 is keeping up with a 1LE through the twisties.

As mentioned previously, I owned a 2016 Mustang GT and I found it easier to launch because it had no lowend torque. I think it’s simply a factor of most people don’t know how to drive a vehicle to its max potential.
With my earlier comment, I was referencing specifically a straight line situation. With curves, it’s no contest. The Scat Pack is the only true throwback intermediate muscle car out there. It handles well for its size but it’ll never handle as well as even a non-1LE SS or LT1.
