In this episode of Throttle House, the team takes a deep dive into the world of rear-wheel drive V8 madness. They start off by showcasing the Ford F-150 with the new supercharged option, courtesy of WeatherTech's support. But what really catches their attention are the goats that Cowboy Karsten has brought along, courtesy of WeatherTech's truck bed liners. It's a unique way to demonstrate the durability of these liners, and the goats seem to be enjoying their ride.
Moving on to the main event, the team pits the new performance-packaged Mustang GT against the tried and tested Camaro SS1LE in a drag race. With 486 horsepower, the Mustang GT claims victory, but the Camaro puts up a good fight with its 455 horsepower. The team is impressed by the Mustang's improved performance compared to the previous generation, especially in terms of traction. However, the real excitement lies in the Camaro's handling prowess, making it the preferred choice for driving hard around corners.
Taking things to the track, the team puts both cars through their paces. While the Mustang GT impresses with its engine and exhaust note, it falls short in terms of steering feel and cornering ability. The understeer is evident, and the team struggles to find the right balance. On the other hand, the Camaro feels right at home on the track, offering precise steering and excellent handling. It's a true sports car that delivers a thrilling driving experience.
As the team reflects on the lap times, it becomes clear that the Camaro outshines the Mustang in terms of track performance. Despite the Mustang's straight-line speed, it struggles to match the Camaro's agility and cornering abilities. The team acknowledges the Mustang's role as a cruiser, designed for making noise and turning heads, while the Camaro excels in providing an engaging and exhilarating driving experience.
Sadly, the team also discusses the impending end of an era for the Camaro. While there are rumors of a successor, it's hard not to feel a sense of loss for this iconic car. It's a bittersweet moment as they bid farewell to a legend, hoping that the spirit of the Camaro will live on in future models.
