Mustang GT (manual) vs. Camaro LT1 (manual)

[Baldilocks]

Thoughts? I've seen a couple videos from this channel and I'm still not sure he knows how to shift?

Actually the GT one is not PP and SS is, so diff is different I guess, tires suspension etc maybe different too. and mustang has longer gears for economy purpose. many things may go wrong and human error for sure.

I’ve seen quite a few videos lately where Camaro SS cars take down 5.0 Mustangs. I really don’t know what to make of it. Of course there are a lot of variables. But I just don’t see how that’s happening. I mean, my car is a ’13 Premium with the MT-82. It’s got a Flowmaster muffler kit and Steeda tuning/CAI and some upgrades to the MT-82 so it’ll shift correctly. Otherwise it’s stock. 102k on the clock. Just a regular car. My father has a ’21 Camaro SS 1LE with the 10-speed auto. When we hammer it from a dig or from a roll either one it’s a very very close race. It’ll come down to who gets the hit. So how in the world are NEW Mustangs having trouble with Camaros? I don’t understand what’s going on.

Mustangs with a manual are comparatively slow. The coyote needs to be in the high RPMs to be worth a damn and the long gearing in the MT-82 is just another reason to get the A10.

Now with my C6 Z06, those long gears really helped as there's so much torque the time between shifts is just a waste.

They definitely needed to have one with the PP. The 3.73 gears would make a huge improvement over the 3.55s

I owned a C6 427 and I couldn't beat a civic type R (sad) because my shifting is only average. I had a C7 Z06 and I was able to rock in that after installing a short shifter but many many people could have done it better.
