Anyone that refers to himself in the third person is a tool. And anyone that refers to their forum handle in the third person is an even bigger tool.

And that's the bottom line.

Cuz F N Muscle says so.

Ehhhh....maybe I was wrong. It's a forgivable offense.

I guess I just don't get it. The Camaro is lighter and faster. end of story. why all the hate about it? these numbers have been confirmed numerous times now.

the next gen mustang will probably be faster the 6th gen. and then guess what? the 7th will be faster than that mustang. its a cycle, some people need to get over it.

I mean GM had a current 5.0 with them during testing, we've all seen the pictures. pretty easy to use that vehicle as a target to beat when you have one right next to the very vehicles you're developing.

All manufacturers do this. It's not just chevy. And it's across all vehicle segments not just sports cars.

This is probably old news and elementary to some, and of course to the pill..., but is pretty much in line with thepills engineering skills....Anyone who has read his theories and calculations will appreciate this video...

Basically the first two cars down the strip, 1 for sure a manual, and they both wooped up on the fastest recorded bone stock Mustang time.

One thing I'd like to comment on regarding the 6th gen looking too much like the 5th gen...especially from Mustang fanatics...

Really???

Notice any similarities in these photos?



And the 6th gen is more of the same.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but if a Mustang guy wants to critique the Camaro in regards to similarity to the previous generation, it's coal calling the kettle black.

Ringers. Ringers all around. Still part of Chevy marketing and lies in order to sell more cars. The ones delivered to customers will weigh 3800+ and only make 375 to the wheels...

I agree...maybe Chevy used VW's tuning to bypass the smog crap and gain extra HP's with these media "ringers" you speak about. lol

I understand that. my point was they shouldn't be surprised that this car out performs the mustang. it would be embarrassing for GM if it didn't.

They also like to chat about how bad the Cadillac is selling..... without mentioning Lincoln. The Navigator is carrying Lincoln sales.

...and talk about UGLY!

Lets be honest anyone buying these cars with the intention to race them is not going to keep them stock anyways... With a few simple bolt ons under 3k a 15' Mustang can beat a bone stock 6th Gen SS.

But you buy a car for more than just its hp and quarter mile time... You get the car because you love it.

Any proof to back up that claim? We'll have to wait and see some real dyno and quarter mile times from customers.

Ford had much more time to compare their 2015 Mustang against 5tg gen Camaro than Chevy had to compare their 2016 Camaro against 2015 Mustang.
