Re: Hennessey Camaro HPE650 vs SpeedFactory Challenger SRT8 vs Shelby GT500 Super Sna

Now you're seeing the benefits of that chassis, and that independant rear suspension - the capability is why it weighs what it does and behaves how it does. This blows the bullhockey about the Mustang live axle being 'better' right out of the water. Not only does the better weight distribution and suspension control beat it in a straight line with no muss, no fuss, but wipes the floor with it in corners.

It shows it is very early days for Camaro development, if a first-up tuner effort can demolish Ford's premium rocketship so easily. All it needs is some fettling. The bullding blocks are well and truly there.
