Street racing doesn’t get much closer than this. We’ve got a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro LT1 and a 2017 Ford Mustang GT, both featuring manual gearboxes and very few modifications—nothing that would greatly influence the outcome of this straight-line battle.

Let’s start our analysis with the 2017 Mustang GT since it’s the older car. The description of the video mentions “cat deletes and an intake,” which wouldn’t add any considerable amount of horsepower to its Gen 2 Coyote V8 engine. As stock, this car would be putting down 435 hp (441 PS) and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm) of torque, with everything going to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
