The Camaro traps 111mph - it's more than capable of running deep into the 12s....STOCK.
As you can see from the R&T article, the Mustang with the blower trapped 108mph and ran 13.4. The trap speed shows that the Camaro is the faster car. ........

As far as part costs, LSx parts are CHEAP. These engines have been around since 1997 and the aftermarket is huge. Just compare the number of aftermarket heads for the LSx to the number of heads for the modular engines. The LSx engines are modern day 5.0s - lots of parts and easy to work on. Aftermarket.....Camaro > Mustang.
Regardless, who wants to drop $6500 on parts just to keep up with a stock Camaro? The supercharger will add weight and combined with gears, who knows what the gas mileage will be. And all the Camaro owner would need to do is add a few bolt ons and they have 450+hp.
BTW, a Camaro SS is $31k not $35k.
Wolvrin704,
What the Heck? That's what I've been pointing out in another thread. How can a track pack blower equipped 400HP stang only do 1/10 of a second better than the N/A version? You would think even the Motor Trend idiots would comprehend an error here.
Over on the Bullitt forums I'm a member of, there are several guys running 13.1's and 13.3's with the stock Bullitt which is essentially the same car as the 2010 Mustang (the stock 3.73's, extra 15HP, etc.) The N/A track pack Mustang should be better than a 13.5 considering Motor Trend tested the 2005 Mustang at a 13.5 when it came out. Something just isn't right about these performance numbers coming from them.
