A half second
(ill be waiting for a bone stock 11.9 run if so)? Dont hold your breath, Evan SMith ran a 12.3 with drag radials. The bone stock ls3 vettes best time is in the high 11's as well. It is 400 lbs lighter than a mustang. Its drivetrain is more efficient than a camaro. Vettes dyno about 10hp higher than a camaro on average. A half second is just a little too generous in my opinion.
The ls3 corvette is about a half second faster than the camaro. The 10 camaro was a half second faster than the 10 mustang....some looked at this as being close. But in reality if you lose to someone by a half second in a 1/4 mile drag you are going to be like 10 cars behind.
I will give the mustang about a ~.2 advantage on average all things being equal. I have said from the beginning a think the hero runs in cool weather for the stang will get down to around 12.3.
The car is awesome...I have nothing against it. But both being well driven it is going to be a close race every time. It looks like so far that the well driven (non hero runs) are 12.6-12.8 for the stang and 12.8-13.0 for the camaro.
I must admit mid to high 12 sec runs seem more frequent for the stang so far, considering it has been on the streets for such a short time.
Props to Ford. Congrats to all you mustang guys who finally got some respectable N/A power in GT form. I am honestly excited for you guys. But I wont be joining your camp anytime soon. I am a chevy guy through and through...just like many of you never switched sides when the camaro had the edge. It is all in good fun IMO.
Maybe if I have enough money some day I will own both. Which I would honestly like to do. Until then my heart is with the bowtie.
