Unaccepted draw towards exam puts 2011 Mustang GT forward of Camaro SS in eighth-mile showdown
Yet pushing impressions of the new 5.0-liter 2011 Ford Mustang GT are off limits for now, Renouned Prohibited Rodding notes that Ford made no discuss of releasing pristine facts. It’s all about a numbers anyway, right? During last week’s media launch for the brand-new Mustangs in California, the showdown between the (supposedly) 412-horsepower 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 as well as the 426-horsepower 2010 Camaro SS got underway at the sectioned-off apportionment of the Camarillo Airport. An eighth-mile drag strip lay forward of the two ponycars, both versed with six-speed automatics.
With time-slips in hand, a numbers don’t lie. Popular Prohibited Rodding managed the time of 8.82 seconds during 83 miles per hour in a Camaro, but a Mustang valid to be even faster during 8.62 sec onds at 86 mph. Probably all reporters on palm recorded better times in a Mustang. Wanton translations to entertain mile numbers come in during 13.8 seconds for a Camaro as well as 13.5 seconds for a Stang.
With a base price coming in during $30,495 and numbers which – for rightaway, during least – crop up to kick the competition, Ford looks similarto it has the serious strike in the creation with the brand-new 5.0 Mustang. How the renewed rivalry translates from a streets to the sales sheets, where the Camaro now rules a setdown, will be engaging to watch.
