I'm trying to figure out how the Mustang is so much faster from 70mph to 80mph? It made up 4/10ths of a second right there (1.2 seconds versus 1.6 seconds). Between that and the 3/10ths off the launch (1.7 seconds versus 2.0 seconds) it was 7/10ths faster in those two sections. The Camaro pulled back 3/10ths of that back in other areas, to stay within 4/10ths of the Mustang by the end of the 1/4 mile.

Is there a shift for the Camaro in the 70-80mph range?

 

if someone doesnt answer this in the next few minutes ill do the math.

 

ok i did the whole calculator thing. 75mph should net the SS close to 6300rpm and 80mph is closer to 6700rpm. so yes there is a shift there. If they wanted to go strictly 0-80 it would probably be quicker to just leave it in 2nd and go to 6700rpm. but nobody really drives like that.

 

Are you sure they are not "comparable"?

 

i never said they werent. Im saying they are.

 

He's making fun of your terrible spelling.

 

terrible spelling for one letter? i see, well then in that case that was almost funny. keep working on those jokes, you'll nail one eventually

sorry for misspelling, english isnt my first language btw.

 

And capitalization.

 

its funny how people here are trying to divert the convo to my misplacing a letter here and there and lack of capitalization when the subject at hand is the superiority of the new mustang vs the 2010 camaro excellent diversion.

 

Hey, we are grammar *****....what can we say?

 

well then that would make me a grammar jew

 

You sure are a defensive fella.

 

Two.

 

I try to keep it light on the board when I sense things are getting a little teste [I know it is misspelled]. I think sometimes people just need to take a little break from time to time instead of arguing the same point over and over.

 

well, back to the subject at hand. Im sure the engineers designed the chassis to perform greatly or at least adequately given the restraint of the tiny (and thus more affordable and probably quieter) 255 width tires. but i strongly believe that the car will perform even better in every aspect (hence, even quicker times) with wider tires.
