FWIW, a bone-stock and barely broken in 2010 GT auto can beat a 90's SS Camaro...Camaro does put up a good fight though...don't ask me how I know this

the drive by wire on the 05+ stangs is what makes them feel slow. no punch off the line. have a race tune written for it and your feelings will change about which one feels faster

That's no surprise that an LT1 with 3.73's feels quick......they make great power down low anyways, and the gears just make it pull that much harder.

Your LT1 may feel "snappier" by comparison, but when it comes down to brass tax, the Z28 is a mid/low-14 second car and your GT is a mid/high-13 second car. There's no arguing with the clock.

As stated the mustang torque curve is deceiving............feels slow. I felt the same way when I first test drove and the purchased my car. It just felt slow, but ran a 13.92 stock. Get a cai and a real tune and take off a half second off your 1320 times. It did for me.
