The way I see it though, the Camaro has a clear advantage out the gate, while the Mustang starts to catch it in the back half. If the Camaro botches the launch, it wont be pretty.

The gen6 Camaro was leap forward whereas the 15-17 S550 stepped backward a little and pretty much matched the gen5 Camaro. Looks like at the SS and GT level, it will be a drivers race now

Really? A torque Converter is considered a bolt on here?

My point was, the Mustang cannot beat the Camaro all things equal. The Camaro has an edge, however slight. Driver Race indeed!

Ok so one of the first customer owned 2018 GT’s clicks off 11.97@119 in stock form. Negative DA with Drag mode
Was Evans car a ringer??? Ford prepped car?? The rundown Evan..... Customer 1.88......1.86.. -.02 7.72......7.81.. +.09 95.2......93.5...-1.7 Mph 11.83....11.97.. +.14 119.5....119.0.. - .5 Mmmmmm better 60ft and look at that!! Evans run still went Quicker in the 1/8 Et and Mph.... Here is another customers car on a drag pack in negative DA. Evan..... Customer 1.88...... 1.88....—— 7.72...... 7.85... -.13 95.2...... 94.0... -1.2 Mph 11.83.... 11.97... + .14 119.5..... 119.5...——— Same 60ft,better Da,drag pack,same 1/4 Mph... but look!!! 1/8 mile et and Mph!! Really interesting that both the customer that went 11.97 and Ecobeast from YouTube both ran in killer DA. Both used Drag Mode. And both trapped 93 in the 1/8. Both trapped 119. Looks like off the lot cars aren’t the same as media prepped cars. |

I don't think I have ever heard anyone consider a torque converter to be a bolt on.

And a torque converter is considered a bolt-on according to the fast list. But it is not a true bolt-on. Kinda like how nitrous is not forced induction but gets looped in the same class sometimes. |
