That the 98 99 rod bolt failure? Ouch, it probably would have went a good while longer..
Camaro is the most reliable cause it gets a tr6060? Definitely better than a mt82 yes, but you shouldnt blow an mt82 without FI or just misshifting horribly.
Also the gt msrp is much less than a camaro, usually 8 to 10k less at a stealership.
2018 mustang gt is getting a twin disc clutch, tr6060, 12:1 compression(up a whole point), direct injection, ford racing TB and intake manifold, active exhaust, magnaride shocks option, and some other goodies like chassis reinforcement from the gt350. (Also new tires on the PP)
Thats not BS, a ford development guy let some of it slip during a crap interview.
The new camaro definitely has its performance advantages, both in power and handling.
What im wondering is, will the 460hp v8 in camaro with bolt ons outrun a bolt on 2018 gt? Currently, 5.0s dyno ~420 whp with full intake and exhaust. 12:1 and DI should do upwards of 450whp.
