I wonder how the new Mustang that was captured in a spy shot with 295's will do. Unfortunately, Ford will probably never tell us.
http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motora...ns-porsche-911-wet-nurburgring-230536466.html
Every time I ask a Chevy engineer about the Nurburgring — that "green hell" of German race tracks used as the gold standard of testing by European automakers — I hear a variation of the same response: Yeah, it's good fun, but we use it only to shake things out, and we're not into swapping hot laps with the competition. This line sounds less than credible today, after Chevy announced it had taken the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28 around the 'Ring in a time that outpaced the new Porsche 911 Carrera S — hitting 161 mph. In the rain.
With a recorded time of 7 minutes, 37.47 seconds, the Z28 completes the lap four seconds faster than the ZL1 Camaro, not to mention the stock 911, the Audi R8 and the Lamborghini Murcielago. With 505 hp moving a car that's 300 lbs. lighter than the typical Camaro — and can generate 1.05 g of cornering force — the handling prowess of the Z/28 shouldn't be that much of a surprise, although at several points in the video above, GM driver Adam Dean has to dab some oppo to keep the nose pointed forward.
Chevy says the run was part of what it calls a "24-hour test" — running a day's worth of laps at various tracks, with only brake and tire changes allowed, to measure a car's durability. And based on the data from the wet lap, Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser contends the Z/28 could have gone a couple seconds faster on a dry track.
At the moment, Chevy has the momentum in the American muscle-car field to itself; Ford has gone silent ahead of the next-generation Mustang out next year, while the Dodge Challenger has to solider on with minimal changes. When those cars get their updates, they'll have to prove themselves any number of ways — including, it now seems, on a long stretch of German racetrack. Maybe the Chevy engineers will tell them where to go for bratwurst.

Don't worry.. Your peeps will only post times if they are faster/quicker than the competition!
x2. I wish they'd roll out another SUV similar to the TBSS with an upgraded engine combo.

Yo DaveGay,Apparently, you cant fix ugly in camp camaro!
Nice tail lights Bro! Glad camp mustang wont have to look at em
I'd drive a AMC Eagle if it had the LS7 in it.
BTW the new mustang tail lights are the most fantastic looking pair ever either.

Let's see:
-Changed badges at last second to "rebuild" car
-$70k for a Z/28
-64 lbs. is taking "all the weight out"
-Al O. wants to "kick the shit out of anything Ford puts on the road"
I would certainly hope that a car that came out two years after the Boss 302 was developed and costs almost twice as much would be able to beat it. Hell, the tires and brakes alone do most of the work. Going after the 911 GT3 and GT-R in a Camaro? I don't see it.
