Also posting about camaro's running mid 13's stock but the new mustang's running low 12's stock... that is another misconception. Funny thing is i saw 3 different stock 5.0 mustangs all running low 13's at the track. Yes on the internet you can read about this and that but that is what i have seen so far first hand. Keep in mind to some people stock means an intake/tune/drag radials, stock to me means delivered that way from the factory. As posted earlier when my SS was bone stock it went 13.1 at 109mph multiple times, those are average real world results. I do agree that for 1/4 mile track performance the new mustang is a better platform and it is already lighter but for an all around car i picked the camaro.
i agree, you're right that the LS3 is better than a 3V 4.6, but i still think a newer GT is a better put together car than the Camaro, the Camaro's LS3 would be the only advantage over a 4.6 mustang IMO, and it has no advantage over a 5.0. the only thing these engines have in common is 8 cylinders so it just depends on what valvetrain you're more comfortable with when it comes to modding one. I just prefer a Ford for its fit and finish, and thats only recently. GM is getting better on that end but they still have some catching up to do to get on Fords level.
