I had a new 2018 GT PP1 A10 with MagneRide for 2.5 years, and have owned my ‘21 ZL1 with A10 (10L90) since new. There’s no comparison with the transmissions. There’s no doubt the GM version is better programmed and better behaving. By far.

You keep saying that Ford has the better engine tech., but GM is the one with the 1,064 hp 5.5 liter 8,500 rpm V8, and the N/A 8,600 rpm V8 with 670 hp. Plus, GM also has the LT5, which makes as much power as the Predator. It also has the LT4, not as powerful as the Predator, but it can handle...

There is no such thing as a “base” ZL1. It’s just “ZL1”. It comes fully loaded. No comparison in content and options compared to a base Mach 1. So for a more apples to apples comparison on overall features you have to compare a fully optioned premium Mach 1, and even then it has fewer options...

Yes, but I addressed that it was due to the transmission discrepancy. Apples to apples the Type R is quicker overall. I don’t have a dog in this fight and don’t really care, but I agree with the others that 0-60 isn’t the end all be all of performance tests. It’s just one of many.

You keep saying that but you’re comparing a manual type R to the A10 with the performance package. The regular $32k Ecoboost wasn’t tested and without the sticky tires is likely not as quick as the PP Ecoboost. Anyway, different trans is not apples to apples. That said, even with the manual the...

This is a silly post, a Camaro SS does not sound like fire crackers. Y’all must have heard a 6 cylinder with aftermarket exhaust. And if you mean recently updated as in 2013 when the LT1 came out in the 2014 C7 Corvette, then I guess. But the Coyote has been updated 3 times since then and STILL...

There must have been something wrong with his SS, or it was a 5th Gen, which aren’t nearly as quick. A 6th Gen SS easily runs with a Gen 3/4 Coyote, and is quicker than a 2007 GT500. Plus, they aren’t quiet. They are very composed though, so maybe that’s what he didn’t appreciate. And don’t...

Yes, the Camaro performance trims offer adjustable magnetic dampers, except for the ZL1 1LE which is fixed but adjustable (on the dampers) spool valve dampers, which are very stiff. I had a 18 GT PP1 with MagneRide and it was very bouncy and uncontrolled compared to my ZL1. Most accounts...

The part about the suspension age isn’t really that accurate. The Camaro suspension and chassis is better than the S650, as the S650 is just a barely updated S550 suspension, which wasn’t close to the alpha Camaro chassis or suspension trim for trim. The S650 isn’t “newer tech” suspension. Just...

Ha! That’s hilarious.

They didn't test at 4000 feet, that was referring to the mountain twisty road driving. They test at their normal facility wherever that is in CA. The DH doesn't have that much downforce. It's also too heavy for 500 hp, which is why it only trapped 115 mph and not closer to 120 mph.

There's too many unknowns from that video. I doubt they were really at E30 or E35 like he said, unless they had very little 93 octane in the tank. To be at E30 with only 1 gal of E85 they'd have to only have 1.8 gallons of 93 octane (assuming ethanol free); I doubt they had that little, but they...

Without a tune, no, I doubt it because E85 has much less energy density than gasoline, therefore, if you're at E40 you need more fuel flow per given airflow to make more power. The computer has no way of knowing its E40 without a tune so therefore it won't send more fuel, thus, less power due to...

60-130 was just about 13-13.3 seconds with only one short shift. Most of the other shifts were at 7,250 rpm or so, which isn't much of a short shift. 60-100 mph was about 5.6 seconds. That's really slow for 500 hp. My stock '22 Supra 3.0 has a Dragy verified 4.99 sec 60-100 mph in 2300+' DA.

All these people with their ideas of what to compare and what not to compare...the dude had a C7, now has an S650 GT, so of course he's going to compare the two. As far as how a car "feels"...The C7 has more torque and according to Car and Driver the C7 stingray is 500 lbs lighter. It will feel...

I’ve owned a 2018 GT Premium with PP1, A10, and MagneRide. It had nearly full bolt on, so near 500 crank hp and some weight reduction. I also have a 675 hp (crank) ‘21 Camaro ZL1, and a ‘22 Supra 3.0 with about 415 crank hp (they typically dyno 370-380+ rwhp), but only weighs 3,300 lbs. The GT...

I went from 2018 GT Premium with PP1, MagneRide, and A10 to a ‘21 ZL1 A10. I considered keeping both cars but after a few days realized there was never a time when I would have chosen to drive the GT over the ZL1, so I sold the GT. When people say the GM trans tuning is light years ahead they...

I think K&N guarantees a hp increase in back to back dyno runs of stock car then car with intake added. Not the amount. Could be 3 whp, that’s still an increase even if not significant and actually within margin of variability.

The lightest I could find for a V8 challenger was 4,200 lbs by Motortrend, and that was a 5.7 liter. The 392 was 4,275 lbs-both were not the widebody, which are even heavier at 4,340 lbs (Motortrend). A Camaro SS A10 was 3,730 lbs (also Motortrend), and the A10 Mustang GT was 3,860 lbs (also...

Pretty sure it was a GT500 CFTP wing. Not a GT wing.
