[QUOTE="Tob, post: 15999737, member: 83412"] I was at MGW's facility in Augusta, Georgia with a new 1LE on one lift and a GT350 on the adjacent lift. I was already familiar with the GT350 chassis but this was a golden opportunity to take a closer look at the Camaro. We had already tracked each and they were very close in terms of performance. The exhaust system aft of the manifolds was removed along with the driveshaft and a number of other components on the Camaro. It was readily apparent how different the philosophies were between the two with respect to weight reduction. The one that really surprised me was the Camaro driveshaft - two small diameter, [i]extremely[/i] lightweight, tubes. No comparison the the shafts on the S550 that are pretty much carry over from the S197. Everything just seemed better integrated or "cleaner" if you will. Walking back over to and under the GT350 brought disappointment. And I love the fact that GM is using the latest TR6060 instead of the TR3160 as it is far beefier. I could go on. Ford can do better and has a golden opportunity here. Given the current state of affairs though, I struggle in seeing it happen. [/QUOTE]
