      @A real bisexual petrol-head ok well if he wants to have the worst possible launches that enable a 4 cylinder auto to outrun him - he succeeded. But the purpose of this video was to show how the cars stack up. If we have one car driven by someone who is doing a decent job and another car being driven by someone who has no idea what they are doing - it isn't even worth watching. One car is going to look pathetic because the person behind the wheel shouldn't be there.

      More like 20 years. But part of being a muscle car means it shouldn't be a sports car. You want to have to use the throttle to steer, and you want it to be slightly nervous. Otherwise, the fun is gone. It sounds like I am being facetious, but just look at them enjoying the Camaro so much more.

  • @chasemytaillights
    @chasemytaillights 4 роки тому +2

    To anyone in the UK, there’s a few things they got wrong and maybe it’s different for the UK models but this is how it is in the US. The camaro comes with 455 horsepower and 455 ft lbs of torque in American power measurements, you can calculate that how you’d like. It has a 6.2L V8 not a 6.0 as well. Also, the 1SS base interior model does not come with magnetic ride control, but the 2SS does. It also has a feature they didn’t use in the drag racing, it actually has a no lift shift feature where if you keep your foot on the gas in between shifts as long as you’re over 5,000 RPM it won’t keep the RPMs going it will adjust timing to go to exactly where you want to be for the shift and it makes your shift times a lot better. The mustang has a 5.0L V8 with 460 horsepower and 420 ft lbs of torque. The mustang weighs 3705 lbs and the camaro weighs 3685 lbs so it’s lighter but ever so slightly. When racing around a corner track as well the camaro is usually easier to move around a track than the mustang is because the mustang is very heavy in the front with a light rear end cause the engine is heavier so it’s easy to swing the back end out. The camaro is a little more balanced on weight distribution than the mustang is which makes a big difference if your goal is road course racing.

    The reason why the camaro won the drag race is because fords 5.0 V8 dosen't make much low end torque the same way the LS does. Fords V8 only makes power top end where gm's v8 makes torque all thru out the power band. Gm is just better with engine's

    Regardless of who won, that was one excellent sounding face off! Everyone wins getting to listen to those V8s haha. I also got a kick out of the way you guys talk about these two cars like you’re slightly unfamiliar with them. I pass 5 Mustang GTs each day (and have owned three 5.0s and a 3.7l Mustang myself) and 90% of American teenagers that are into cars can recite the specs from memory of at least one of the current three Pony Cars.
    Anyway, glad you guys “across the pond” can appreciate the progress that American carmakers have made with their performance cars. We’ve always had the Corvette in the category but the latest Mustang and Camaro models are legit Sports Cars now. The Challenger can’t quite make the “Sports Car” claim but it has plenty of merit on its own. 717hp for $62k and 797hp for $73k have to be some sort of record for horsepower per dollar and the most impressive thing about Hellcats is that you can easily daily drive one and they’re actually quite comfortable and easy to live with, much more so than a ZL1 Camaro or Shelby Mustang.

    Need to use Launch control at about 3200 rpm on stock tires. Mustangs also have about 1,000 rpm higher redline than the Camaro. Trust the gearing and the track race is a dead heat that comes down to the driver.
    Mustangs make their power at much higher rpms and love to rev on the track.
    Recap use launch control at around 3200 rpm for little to no wheel spin and keep rpm up on the street courses.

    Fun stuff, you daffy Brits! Nice banter. I enjoyed the vid, even though I'm TOTALLY a Mustang aficionado and have been all my life. I don't care that the Stang lost, really, because I don't have any idea of your comparative driving skills (not that I would care all that much anyway). What I DO have a problem with is when one driver takes Car A and stays with it for all tests, and the other driver takes Car B and stays with it. So. Who knows which driver is better, or which car FITS that driver's style better? And who knows which options each car has available (you're only touched on this)? Tiff never figured out launch control on the 'Stang, so its advantage there was cancelled out (no offense, Tiff). YOU CANNOT LAUNCH at 5,000 RPM, nor 4200. A predictable loss, in both cases. I find with my GT500, I do a launch in first gear, with VERY low revs, 3,000 or so (not sure, because I FEEL it). I shift into second at between 4,000 and 5,000, then I wind the crap out of it in second. But, really, good stuff, guys. The bottom line for us Yanks: If you're a Chevy fan, you'll buy a Camaro, and if you're a Mustang fan, there is absolutely no other car which will do. Brits, I assume, will not adhere to the same loyalties.

    Two things : First, you don't use Launch Control in a Drag Race. That's a rookie mistake. Second, this wasn't a fair comparison. The Mustang used was a European model with significantly less horsepower than it's American counterpart, and the Camaro was, as far as I saw, the same as the one sold in America. I know, I have the American version Mustang GT, which has 460 hp stock. Also, the stock tires on the Mustang suck. They allow too much wheel hop. I've raced a different Camaro SS on three separate occasions, and won every time, but it was very close, and one could have gone either way. I was glad to see Manuals in both rides. Mine is Manual as well.

    Launching a manual Mustang is hard. My auto stang was pretty easy and the gearbox makes it even easier. My current manual one (10 speed auto is shit outside of the drag strip. DO NOT BUY IT, ever, if you enjoy driving cars) is REALLY hard to launch proper compared to most manual cars. Also there's alot of axle hop unless you're in drag mode specifically. Car shakes apart in anything but drag mode as soon as there's wheel slip in the rear :p It's definately not a get-in-and-go car if you want proper performance out of it. The Auto is but it will kill you in slow traffic by either lunging into the car infront due to gearbox not being able to decide gears and keep the RPM regardless, or lunge you into a wall when trying to slowly creep away from traffic. God it's awful. Chevy using the same 10speed is superb due to proper gearbox control module tuning. Mustangs are comepletely lost between the throttle input, torque converter and the gearbox. It's a lottery everytime those 3 have to join forces and get you going :(
    ALso random error codes for no obvious reasons and the Dealer sais "nothing wrong here". Again: Avoid the Auto unless you ONLY want to drag race it. It's sick in the drag. Manual EU mustangs sadly get the 3.55 gearing wich is nice for driving about if you fancy a bit taller gears, auto is as fast as a Manual Corvet C7 from a rolling start. That's how much faster the 10 speed shifts under 100% throttle. Hopeless in any other situation and there's a 3-4 10'ths delay in every paddle shift. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

And the dash really starts to bug you as it looks crooked from left to right and center console hang it up your lucky to get sunglasses in it ! And you really can't see well out of the car ! The quarter glass should not even be there it's useless and the back glass threw the rearview mirror looks like a 8inch strip to view out of and you have to stop way short of a red light to see the signal without having to bend down. But to me the car did ride and handle very well with good power however I am willing to give the power and handling up for something with a better view while on a trip.

      So my mustang is a 2019 gt premium performance pack A10. Can't say enough about the car. My only thing I could imagine the Camaro being better at is the cornering. The mustang does a very good job for its size but I can feel the limit issue being the weight and body roll.. I drove a 2018 SS stage 2 and the only noticeable difference was the Camaro felt like it was more planted. But in honesty there was not a single other thing i could see that was better about that car - for me (someone who loves luxury) I love the 3rd gen coyote the way it picks up at 3k rpm because I used to own german cars with turbos so I'm used to that delayed punch. Feels natural to me now.
      Also I have to be honest - the mustang SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER. Granted mine has the active exhaust. I love the sound of the engine.
