    There were 4 new yenko Camaros police escorted through Canonsburg Thursday. They took some photos of the cars in front of the old Yenko building by the old dairy queen. I got them rolling in on video and I told the guy driving a white one to let me hear the tvs. Sounded good. Only 50 made I understand and a bargain at 130k......lol. got some pics ill post too. Not a fan of the Camaros but those were the best looking ones ive seen to date.

    How'd they get to put the Yenko name on them? Isn't the dealership long gone? Cool that they are making a few of these cars. I've always liked the Yenkos but honestly the money they bring is silly.

    Meh... the looks are underwhelming... maybe, just because of all the hype. However, the interior looks much improved and, on paper, looks like the performance should be beyond current offerings from the other Merican pony cars.

    Every time I drive by that building I think it woulda been awesome to see it back in 1970.

    Really neat looking building. It was for sale not too long ago.

    Figured some rich car guy would of bought it by now and moved it piece by piece to his man cave.

    The new Camaro looks like total poop!
    2015 A6 Mustang GT that so far has gone 9.48@147 but still the fastest prochargerd S550 in the world aside from Tim Essick's!

    I think it looks pretty good. It does look more like a facelift as opposed to completely new though.

    Head to head, 2016 Mustang GT vs a 2016 Camaro SS, here's my thoughts based on manufacturer weights etc.


    2016 Mustang GT Premium weighs 3707lbs at full fluids according to Ford
    2016 Camaro 2SS (leather/loaded) is said to be almost 200lbs lighter depending on the model than the 2015 outgoing model. I've seen curb weights for the 2015 to be from 3875-3925, so we'll say the 2016 will be 3675-3725


    2016 Mustang GT is rated at 435hp/400tq
    2016 Camaro SS is rated at 455hp/455tq


    2016 Mustang GT in Performance Pack form, comes with 3.73's, and with the MT82's aggressive gearing. It has gear options of 3.31, 3.55, and 3.73 for the manual.


    1st - 3.66
    2nd - 2.43
    3rd - 1.69
    4th - 1.32
    5th - 1.00
    6th - 0.65


    The 2016 Mustang GT's gearing with the auto using the 6R80 transmission gives you a 3.15 final drive or an optional 3.55 with the following transmission ratios.


    1st - 4.17
    2nd - 2.34
    3rd - 1.52
    4th - 1.14
    5th - 0.87
    6th - 0.69


    2016 Camaro SS, looks to get a 3.73 rear end gear and the TR6060 with the following gears:


    1st - 3.01
    2nd - 2.07
    3rd - 1.43
    4th - 1.00
    5th - .84
    6th - .57


    2016 Camaro SS with an automatic gets the 8L90 with a 2.77 rear end


    1st - 4.56
    2nd - 2.97
    3rd - 2.08
    4th - 1.69
    5th - 1.27
    6th - 1.00
    7th - .85
    8th - .65


    These cars will be a driver's race, neither one is going to be more than a fender faster than the other with near equal drivers and traction.

    At similar weight, I'm thinking 55 ft-lbs of torque makes a bigger diff. than a fender, regardless of gearing.

    Going to disagree. Gearing makes a major difference. The lt1 also doesn't breath as well as the coyote does nor does it have the available rpm band.

    It'll be a close race. The extra torque will definitely help equalize it.
