Wink Motor Trend Comparo

Did anybody see the comparo between the Camaro, Challenger and Mustang, v8 and v6...
The new Mustang V6 did the 1/4 in 13.7 seconds!!
12.7 for the V8! that's wicked!!
Spanked the Camaro and Challenger bad...

I posted that a while back. :-P Thats the fastest time I saw in the V6 though. It could have been a ringer. If not, there will be a lot of cheerleaders hauling ass.

13.7 is stupid fast. I doubt that is what the real ones will run.

You mean you "hope" thats not what they run. I've read about 3 tests and all of them were trapping over 100mph. Pretty nuts u can get one for Civic Si money.

Edmunds/Insideline is notoriously known for getting slower times than everybody else. They pulled 5.6sec to 60mph and 13.9@101mph

M/T got 5.1 to 60mph and 13.7@ 102

Depending on your options its quite doable. For reference the 210hp 2010 V6 did 60mph in 6.6sec and 1/4mi in 15.3@93mph. I would hope throwing 100hp and a boatload of torque would do wonders for car with such sad specs and it did.

CarandD- 5.4 to 60mph and 14@104mph

Bottomline- dont race one if we're stock. It could be a handful.

Whatever the true speed is, it will certainly give any S a run for the money!

and it certainly made the brand new camaro look really bad!! Not to mention the tubby Challenger...

Sit in one with the premium package. It's really nice for what they're asking.
