Yeah, I did the math.. I just can't see myself driving a Camaro.. Always loved Mustangs and I love the look of the S550. If I wasn't such a performance oriented guy, I would have just got a base V8 5.0 and be done. Just not happy about the SS having the upper edge in performance. But like I said, with Ford's aftermarket support, that can easily be resolved!Just remember too, the 1SS and GTPP are about $1,100 difference.
I never drove a 6th Gen Camaro and I don't plan on too if you know what I mean.
Eagle F1 AS on the SS is still much better than the Pzero's on the Mustang. I drove my friend's GTPP and it was AMAZING with raw power and the 3.73 torsen revs quick! But, it did felt heavy and being frank, I thought the EB PP handled better :shrug: Could just be the weight distr and not pushing it to the limits (which I'm sure the GTPP will shine over the EB).You can hit the corners hard in a GTPP stock. Those run flats on the Camaro have their weaknesses too.
Looks like you just want an SS if you want to do all that to it just to keep up. :shrug:
JK.
People enjoy what they enjoy. Just know that if you do eventually plan on doing something other than an HPDE then you will not be allowed any engine modifications.
Most of the time they will allow a sway bar change, tires, and wheels. All of which the Camaro can do as well.
I love and hate threads like these but it does give insight on the competition. If this thread never existed, the GTPP will raise NO QUESTIONS vs the SS because I always assumed it's just as fast, handled just as well... and the GT350 will always be thought of better track car than any SS Camaro.
Regardless of the results, I still will never choose a Camaro over a Mustang. Guess I'm more brand loyal than a car guy
