05-09 Mustang GT vs Camaro v6?
Hey, I was wondering what you all would think about a stock 05-09 Mustang GT manual vs a stock 2011 Camaro v6?
Also - how can you tell if a Camaro is a v6 just by looking at it, or can you?

Look on YouTube.
BTW, you can change your post from 05-09 GT to 05-10 GT since it is the same car with a different body.
A V6 Camaro will obviously have no SS badges. The exhaust tips are smaller, and usually (unless it has an RS package), the rims are smaller. Or worse, those unfinished looking black "hubcapless-looking" rims with a silver lip that I cannot believe GM released.
Also... If it has 33inch rims, it is probably a V6 too.

2010s on average weigh 100lbs more than a 05-09... You should be able to win this one dude. This shouldn't matter but just so you know- the top end of those cars are limited to about 10mph more than a gt's.
Of course this is both stock, with no tune change to the limiters.

Whoops... I missed that (in the video). The beginning of the video was boring so I skipped it. Lol. Well either way that should answer the question. If that slower Mustang can win, then the S197 can too.

I think I'm going to buy some material and make a sort of cover cap for it to match with the interior (in style and color) to sort of clean up the door area...
