2019 Mustang GT PP2 vs Camaro SS 1LE // Battle Of The Track Packs

James, are you okay? What did I tell you about this alley when I was little? Yes, it was close to the way we reviewed this car. Did you receive anything? No, thank goodness, how hard it is to find prescription lipstick. You are looking at Patil's house. I'm Thomas and I'm James and today we have the

2019

Mustang GT performance pack 2 on the 2018 Camaro SS 1 le and we have the 2018 because the

2019

now seems to be okay, no we don't like the look of the new one. front part and it seems that many others don't like it either because we couldn't even find one to try.

Also, Chevy doesn't even like it because they are changing it again for 2020, but luckily this 2018 looks better and is identical everywhere else. This way, in case you haven't noticed, this job was done with unlimited wrappers. You can find them on Instagram and they did an impeccable job. It looks so good, in fact, I think it may have pushed me over the edge. Wrapping my own car anyway, the ss1 takes the regular SS Camaro with its 6.2-liter V8 making 455 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque and combines it with appropriate

In other words, there are very few cars on sale today that are designed specifically to compete on a race

track

, but if you want a sports car that you can really see, maybe the Mustang GT performance pack 2 is the answer $6,500 more than a regular GT, it's lower, tighter, and includes Magneride damping, six-piston Brembo front brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport cup two tires, one of the best-performing tires out there, although it's frustrating for track lovers. I've excluded some additional cooling that the GT 350 has or, more importantly, in this case, what it has and apparently some have found that the rear differential overheats.

I found the clutch with long travel and high bite takes a little getting used to. period, but powering through the gears is an absolute pleasure on this manual-only bike and leaves you in no doubt that you've got a five-liter, eight-cylinder, 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque in your little fingers. of the feet and the beauty of this engine is its naturally aspirated so it's an insulin response, you're not waiting for a turbo, you step on the pedal and it's there, if you drive this car aggressively you won't shift as often because the gears are very tool, but That, on the other hand, allows you to enjoy the sound in gear for so long because the red line is very high, but that's not a bad thing because you can enjoy it up to 7500.

Here it is and again, it's okay. I'm in the Camaro SS 1le, if you can't see me it's because it's a little dark outside and it's very dark in here, visibility isn't good, but I found that once you get in it you get used to everything you see. Is this screen really impressive and the road in front of you? That's all you need. Well, let's start with the engine, although it has a little less horsepower than the Mustang, but honestly, it's not something you'll notice. Really impressive sound, especially with the exhaust in the loudest mode. I'll show you right now.

Okay, there's no doubt that this is a fast car and since it's not in Cup two, that Mustang performance that James has in the back. a little restless, pulls well to the redline, doesn't feel or sound as crazy and exotic as the Mustang does, but it's definitely a special engine, feels very useful, so it has the upgraded asset too. The thing about the exhaust throttle valve and that means you can change the sound of the exhaust from the steering wheel. I currently have it in track mode, which apparently I'm not supposed to have on the road, but it's a lot of fun, so I'll do it in the next PP. standard with the Magna Ride suspension, which allows this to be so flat in the corners and it's a dream.

It's frustrating to drive this car on the road because I know how good it must be and one of the most important things. What separates this from the performance package one is that it comes standard with cup two tires, the bullet and performance package come with ps4. These things are crazy, they're basically slicks, which means they have tons of grip on the rink, but I picked this up in six degrees and in the rain and felt like I was playing air hockey on the road. It has 180 tread wear which means it's super sticky but won't last as long and looking through the Mustang forums I found that a lot of people who buy the pp2 package actually go and put the ps4 SS in it right away and they save both of their tires for the track, which, driving us down the road, is the only way I can imagine doing it right, so this is the SS one le and that means it comes with a lot of track-specific stuff, including the magneto that makes the needle, the magnetic dampers, like the Mustang, which means the handling is pretty good, but when you combine it with all the other things, like really stiff anti-roll bars, this is a really very planted car or the shifter is actually really good it does this weird thing actually when you're not in full track mode or whatever if you don't go all the way into first gear when you go to put in a second it just says oh you want it and magically places it there for you.

It's a little strange to save gas and this is what I notice about the Camaro, although it looks big, it doesn't feel big at all. It's a very stiff chassis at the front, it's really very direct, it has a smaller diameter steering wheel and it just turns. It is a really very elegant car. If you're wondering what these paddle shifters are, they're actually a lot less than the ones we drive. one of these all asked why they are in a manual if they are actually for turning on and off the auto rev matching feature which I have disabled at the moment.

The wonderful thing about the setup of this car is that if you come from like a Miata or a Porsche, this doesn't feel like an old BOTY American muscle car, it feels like an absolute sports car, the front grip is incredible, I can drive it with the throttle if I want and it feels predictable and then You've got that engine coming in like that and it's amazing, however with the different Torsen on the back you can get away from it pretty quickly. One thing that is difficult to convey. This is one of those feelings that is really hard to put into words.

You almost have to drive the car to understand that it feels light, it doesn't feel like a big heavy V8 rear wheel drive American car, it feels much more precise than that and that's the best compliment I think I can give. Honestly, it dives into the corners, it feels fantastic. I've driven one of these on the track and I can tell you it feels just as good out there and that's the sound of burning fuel and Evie lovers dream about this car. My fuel economy has been fourteen point nine liters per hundred kilometers, the SS really just comes with a lot of really track-specific things, including better cooling stabilizer bars and a system that can actually take video and monitor your laps.

I didn't know it either, but apparently Chevy If you throw a rod or something at the track, to some extent they will replace the engine and honor warranty claims if you've tracked the car if you're looking for a car to buy new specifically to go to the track. A really really easy choice, so driving this again has reminded me how good it really is, so I guess I need to get back to that Mustang to refresh my brain and see which of these is better. Buy so this is an absolute v8 beast with buttons and I need to try that file again to remind myself but first Thomas and I are going to talk about the interior and exterior design but before we check out the styling make sure you subscribe and hit the bell . and for extra and behind the scenes content follow us on Instagram at the throttle house my head comes out there it's a little low yeah this is something you can't see this is a really cool car I didn't think a chimera could look like that Well you know what which I agree, the reputation of this car is absolutely fantastic to begin with, but at least this is the one that comes with the black hood automatically and one Elise thing, we have the splitter, we have the wheels and we have this little what. ducktail wing on the rear anyway I think this is a really bad looking car and that's what these bigger brakes should look like too yeah there are a lot of things that make it an Ally which I told the ladies and gentlemen. while I was in the car, but I think overall this is a better looking car than your Mustang, mainly because I personally have such ridiculous wheel spacing.

I don't agree, I think it's fine and I think this is the least original position I've ever had. I have seen him so aggressive that it is very scary, but I have less. I know it's just a little less space between the wheels. So what makes this the pp? So aesthetically, aesthetically well, we get this giant divider. Yeah, sure, downforce. We also get these wheels, which is. Badass, I have cool wheels; those, yeah, they wanted to point out that they actually prefer the Camaro, okay, otherwise, yeah, we also get a slightly lower ride height and we get these two cups which, as I discuss in the car, or an interesting decision, yeah , these are for the road, these are really serious, the back, otherwise, yeah, and this stripe: how much does the stripe really cost, like 100 bucks, $600 for 600 points, yeah, it doesn't line up there, that doesn't line up there.

I would leave the market. with that Raptor market with that that actually literally doesn't cost a hundred dollars that's not acceptable that's not okay interior yeah, let's do it right

mustang

mustang

yeah, dive DejaVu because we're on the bullet, just on a bullet, yeah, it doesn't say bullet on nowhere here although it doesn't say Performance Pack anywhere, not just as if they were pp. I agree it wouldn't be best to have a week, this is a pretty simple interior and they usually are when the price is this, but like similar materials, why? Yes, but the money goes into performance, so yes, I'm happy because it has some interesting things, although yes, it is an option with the Recaro seats that we have on it, but yes, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not looking for a boost very good. comfort is not so much for me anyway, i feel very comfortable ok this has the optional bno sound system oh is that ok?

I've been listening to the VA, okay yeah it all sounds amazing yeah toggle switches yeah we have this toggle switch down here for mode and we can cycle through the changes in the gauge cluster again yeah this is an option with digital, so we have a drag track and everything changes in a really nice way. I like it and this is even quite satisfying, it's a bit of a click, isn't it? Yes, you can also independently change the steering feel, which is really nice. Otherwise, it's a pretty run-of-the-mill utility vehicle. There is literally an oil pressure and vacuum gauge here, it just tells you.

The information you need for correct plastics performance is difficult, but we overlook it because it's so ridiculously fast that it's not crazy, yeah, and there are also a bunch of buttons on the steering wheel that are actually very simple to use . There is a horse button, do you understand? more horses, of course, no, okay, oh, that would be cool, yeah, like Shadowfax just pops up, yeah, well, no, if you press this, you can change the escape mode, which right button okay, hush. Gondo, you made your way of escape. I've been driving in track mode. like crazy I think it's the loudest it's the latest for some reason I can't get it to say it keeps going back to normal by default when you change the mode it changes and you can change the primary and secondary colors and it changes the colors of the oil pressure and the vacuum gauge too, which really needs you to go in colors, that's important, pushing this into the future, yeah, otherwise, Mustang, yeah, that's Camaro, yeah, okay, It's night, suddenly it's night, yes, yes. that's how I like my graphics, it's pretty good, right, yeah, it's strange, why yes, why don't you understand, it doesn't collect dust, that, that's fine, so this is like it's half digital, half analog , obviously I immediately prefer it. to the Mustang really and yeah I think I like the gauge cluster better on the Mustang this is still very cool but anyway the important part of this is that I can toggle between here and I get really proper track information here like I can.

I get all my temperatures and stuff and this is where my data logger stuff happens when I'm on the track, but this also has the dump. I actually had a little viral video on Facebook. I don't know if you're ashamed of that openness. this could honestly try to make something out of this, it's the worst, it's the worst design, it's the worst design ever other than that the driving position here is fantastic and once you get past thefact that it's like looking at a cut in a paper bag, it's actually a really cool interior, okay I like it, yeah it's cool, it's just that the visibility is crazy, it's funny, but once you're in the zone you don't notice because I have my head-up display.

I can see the road and a story, that's all I care about, yeah I guess it doesn't matter that the materials are as cheap as the Mustang, but it looks less noisy. I agree that Master 3 is also doing a good job and this is how I control the temperatures and fans with the biggest dials ever, I think so, but that also makes you feel powerful, yes, it's like you talk strange right yeah anyway the back seats of none of these cars are usable for human beings that's fine if you nide these cars okay I forgive you that's not the correct english yeah so the seat rear of this car and that one are not usable, they are not usable, okay, English is difficult, I hope it is not my first stage, I really want to drive it, yes, you should.

I want it because it's so good, let's get it right in one, oh no, this immediately feels better, everything feels tighter, the steering, the turning feels tighter, the shifter feels tighter. I really like this, the visibility is ridiculous. I feel like I'm in the Batcave. or even in the Batmobile and there's no Anne Hathaway next to me, which is really disappointing, but my God, this feels good, good in the Mustang, all these cars sound so good, this is a machine, but it already feels like it felt stiffer and tighter. m I really like the interior of this one, it feels simpler, it's not trying to be so much.

I enjoyed my time in the Mustang, but I don't know that right away. These cars caught me between the two of them. The Mustang feels a little more. from a beast, very good in some corners, the Magna Ride suspension is incredible on this car, the ride is actually quite soft but then it stays so flat. Really, really, really impressive what they've done with these genuinely driver's cars that involve both in every aspect. It feels great? It's just as flat in the corners, which I'll also give to the Mustang. I don't know if you can go over the visibility.

Those tires don't have cup two. You must be careful. Wow, what's the car, water car, hey? It has to be my choice of the two, so quickly this movie is closer to my preferences, which one is better, although I don't know, and I think to make a total decision I would have to drive both. on the track consecutively, but here on the road, I think there's something about the Camaro that I like better, so while the Mustang has more interior space, better visibility, some might say it's better styled as a pure car for the driver, the Camaro won.

We are both enthusiastic enough that we can forgive any transgressions he may present; However, both are incredibly fun to drive and while the Camaro might be the better buy for track use, the Mustang has its own lovable character and the reality is that by day. current use that you will not regret buying
