hasnt been a problem so far because it all seems to fly against the back window and I dont look behind me when accelerating...not many cars can come around me.

I will throw a thumbs up to the Camaro that does, but im not holding my breath...most of them are probably busy embarassing Supercars at Sebring anyway.

I get it. View from my Camaro’s gun slit. You can’t see us passing

However (and here’s the part I hate writing), in the ways that actually matter to car guys, the 2018 Mustang got its butt handed to it. For less money, Chevy stone-cold out-engineered Ford.


Bwahahahahahahahahaha

We can officially put an end to the Mustang trolls that come around these parts. Their arguments have now been put laid to rest.

Ford ya gotta pay to play.....and even then you might not get to play. Ford shot themselves in the foot trying to differentiate between pp1 and the GT 350. Yep big difference, the pp1 sucks....

And what is the reason for the Bullitt? I mean seriously? Ford is just proving they are milking their idiotic buyers to death. They should of put that HP and suspension in the GT and called it a day. But nope, they didn't. Shoot, at $50k for a GT, they could of put some GT350 parts in there. But nope, they didn't. Mustang suckers are born every minute. I was hoping the 500 would come out and destroy, but I'm having doubts now.

What happened to Furd’s claim that the 2018 can do “sub 4 seconds zero to sixty” that they put in their brochure?

I guess they forgot the asterisk...



*kmh not mph.

You're not getting sub 4 seconds with the M6 in the mustang...no way no how.

For those that doub't the quality of the 1LE's goodyears...

"As for burnouts, the orange Ford literally, figuratively, and ever other way smoked the Chevy. In a way, this is actually good news for the 1LE. Here’s why: The Camaro can do about one, maybe two decent burnouts, and then the Goodyears get hot to the point where they “grip up,” to steal a term from Randy Pobst. It’s enough grip that 455 lb-ft of twisting force has trouble breaking ’em loose. This is slightly surprising."

For those down playing how poor the PP1 is put together

The car rolls over on itself and seems to not only understeer but also to try and oversteer at the same time. Like the front and back aren’t actually connected.
