Well because they are using a simple stopwatch i would say that up to a sec could just be because human reaction.

[hollowaysteve]

Is that it!? 4 minutes and a badly cut ending. Where’s the rest of it?

[dannieboyize]

Thats what I want to see. Jason and Tiff back together like good old times!!

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually roads with bends and curves in the United States of America. And yes, even cars made in America can go around those corners.

0:21 The Camaro V8 has a 6.2l engine, not a 6.0l engine.

[jeffreyrogers]

What I have found is that, only kids and young guys claim that one of these is much better than the other. Car aficionados and mature guys are saying that, both of these cars are a tremendous value and very fast.

[rm]

American cars have been out handling their European counter parts for the last 8 years .

Not opinions....facts. CTSV, Camaro SS 1LE, Camaro Z28, Z06 Vette, Grand Sport Vette, Mustang GT350, 09 Vette ZR1, Cadillac ATSV ...all cheaper and better handling than their competition of the same year ...

[mindspinn]

The Camaro has the better chassis and engine. You need the 1LE performance package to see what it can really do. Same for the mustang you need the PP2 or at least PP1.

[DizzyMan]

The Camaro has a 6.2L V8, not a 6L. Plus, it makes 455hp. Also, if you can't make a 450hp Mustang GT go 0-60 faster than 4.6 seconds, than you shouldn't be driving it.

[D-Man_Jam]

technically, they're both made for the track, especially if you get the 1LE, and the PP2.


also, the Camaro does have mag-ride suspension, it actually had it before the Mustang.


(sorry for nit-picking) 😂

[OCSreal]

Hopelessly outdated opinion of American cars.

[DennosManCave]

Having just come back from 3 days of doing Targa High Country, I can vouch that the big yank V8 Mustang goes around corners beautifully!

[umberto]

it's one of the worst reviews I've ever watched. first in first the camaro has a 6.2 not a 6.0 v8. then you'll have to explain me how you didn't manage to get equal cars specs (magn. ride, automatic gearbox etc). Seems more like a funny video than a serious car review !!

[gabrielflores]

Wtf...the Camaro does have the mag ride as an option...also, use the same driver and don’t muck the launch

[jdchen]

0.23 second difference? How are they sure it isn't a measuring error from their hand timing...?

And if they had questions on how the cars would handle, why not use the whole track?

[TheRealBleach]

I love both. I prefer the looks of the Camaro though

[MaxSpeedMike]

I would take the Mustang over the Camaro. Although, I hear the manual gearbox in the Shelby gt350 feels much better than the one in the GT

[markusgarvey]

Lamest review, ever. The new Camaros and Corvettes blow the doors off of the Aston Martins and especially the Jaguars, who usually will break down in the first 5 laps. The only Ford in endurance racing is the GT, but I would love to see a Mustang at LeMans. The Camaros are built to handle even without magnetic ride control, but the do have that option. Your driver is just not used to left hand drive.

[timothymartin]

We have now the Camaro here in Australia to they are now converted to right-hand drive by HSV and I think it's very selfish of General Motors not making right hand drive to begin with

[paliH]

The Camaro has magnetic dampening suspension, they probably just didn't get that option.
