2011 Mustang GT 5.0 vs Camaro SS - Drag Race

[shady milkman]

not a crappy 9.98.

amen brother

"k.i.s.s" comes to mind for the new GM...it was something in the classic days they were very good at.

That's right,,,,,Keep it simple stupid.. Why does everyone have to complicate things. Stick with something that we all know works, save money in the process, and pass the buck onto the consumers.
Much cheaper to maintain and work on later down the road too.

What I meant was, for the MPH it's running, that ET flat sucks. The IRS is holding it back. That should be a mid to low 9 second car, it's just not 60 footing.

I guess you guys must have missed the newest GMHP magazine where the first 2010 camaro went 9's on the stock rearend....no need for a 12 or 9" if the stock rear can hold up to that kind of power.

A.R.D. blew theirs up behind a 454 (or 472) with nitrous. around 800 rwhp I believe. This is behind a manual though

All I'm saying is that w/ 800 or 900rwhp the rear is still together and making a 9 sec pass...that's pretty impressive and not nearly as weak as you all are making it out to be. I understand they're not fully getting it from the start but still...9 sec pass is a 9 sec pass.

You're in Germantown, can't be too far from MIR, right?! I saw video footage from a friend of mine, of 2 nearly stock 2010 Camaros blow their rears on initial launch. Same rings true for cam/nitrous cars. My buddy had a 10 second LS1 and ran almost a whole season on the factory 10 bolt. Then you've got guys with just exhaust blowing them in no time....

Oh it's weak alright, they are leaving very soft to keep it alive, that's obvious from the weak 60 foot time.
The only reason the car ran a 9.98 is because of the rediculous power it makes, which made up for it on the big end running 144 mph.
That's a car that should be running bottom 9's,,,,not just barely squeaking in.

But it's all magazine fluff. That's why it's in there. To be honest I'm not all that impressed with it.

Well I think the whole point was to be the first 2010 to run a 9 second pass and they accomplished that.
