BIGGEST thumbs up for using the same size and brand tire on both cars! I been wanting car comparos to do this for 25 years!

[@dnegel9546]

Crazy huh.

[@Kevin-MM69ex]

Understandably it "seems" fair when doing a car comparison to have the same tires available or on both cars but is it actually an honest result? The only reason I see for want of a different tire is hoping for better results over the competition. If the manufacturer sells the car with a specific tire or tire option then that's what you test with. The manufacturer knows what their competition is using and if they didn't want to use the same tire or a more capable tire then the end result is the end result. Having the same tires doesn't mean an equal playing field, what you get from the manufacturer is what you get.

Noticed that Randy prefers the reliability of the 5.0 engine compared to the Voodoo engine. Good to know.

[@sunnyside9273]

I remember Randy questioning the long term reliability of the 350/350R back during its initial release in the MT reviews.

[@ice44567]

@Jack Dalisky lol the 5.0 is more closely related to the voodoo than you'd like. 7500rpm redline versus 8250. Less hp but more torque.

[@ice44567]

@Jack Dalisky bro, its got the same bore spacing as any other modular motor, lol. The cylinder heads and physical dimensions are the same (minus some better porting and camshafts) The only real difference is its non-traditional flat plane with cross plane counter weights, as well as a tiny bit of extra displacement lol. I'm not saying that it's not awesome, but its not some clean sheet special child. Ford is poor and did what they could with what they had.

[@ice44567]

@Jack Dalisky well I mean it is technically special with how it's throws are setup. Literally no one else does it like that. Probably because it has even worse vibration than a normal flat plane design. That's why there are counter weights lmao

[@jreydelacruz]

@Jack Dalisky coming from an owner, if your looking for a collector car, gt350 all the way. If you want to go fast, any coyote will always outperform a voodoo. There are hundreds of examples of boosted coyotes from 1200-2000 horsepower, while I've only seen a handful of vodoo 5.2 making around 1000hp. The flatplane crank is its weakness.

Nice job Randy, you know your stuff. This was very interesting in that you have the newest baddest 5.0 10R80 against a slightly used 3 year old manual 1LE with bad brakes but track alignment. I have to say I’m impressed the SS was so close even with its brake and loose rear conditions, love to see 2 10 speeds against each other. I really wish GM cared as much about the Camaro as Ford does the Mustang, in a perfect world Chevy would be putting LT2s in SSs now, and the new LT6 FPC DOHC 5.5 V8 from upcoming ZO6 in a Camaro Z/28, and why not put LT5 in the ZL1?

The modern Camaro and Mustang are two sides of the same coin, IMO. Camaro wins in the handling prowess and performance edge (low end torque ftw), but the Mustang wins the comfort and practicality category, and also gets a bonus point for having a unique, rev happy engine.

I like the track comparison videos with Mr. Pobst driving. I remember many years ago standing in the pits at Lime Rock watching the (World Challenge?) cars come down the downhill during practice or qualifying. Mr. Pobst was driving a red MR2 and each lap got the left rear wheel a little more off the outside. I remember thinking he wasn't going to make it the next lap, and sure enough he didn't and the crash was fairly spectacular. His aggression and skill have certainly taken him a long way in motorsports and surely prove the old Andretti saying, "sometimes you just have to come back with just the steering wheel in your hand."

Wat opinion does anyone have about the Gt Ford Mustang? I’m in Australia will the parts b hard to get ? Any advice would b appreciated .

[@Kinmartin0789]

@randy do you think you'll redo this test when you can get a hold of the 2021 or 2022 Chevy ss 1le with the 10 speed auto? That's available now. Originally 1les were only manuals. Additionally the 1le didn't have the oem 1le rims that are forged for weight reduction, not sure if those z/28 reps are heavier or not. Thanks for doing these videos, love that you can hear your passion for cars in every ride!

[@B41L3Y]

@Ryan Kinmartin, those are NOT Z/28 wheels. Replica or otherwise. Completely different design. I own a 2015 Z/28.

[@THEDriverMod_]

Randy I would love for you to test my GT350 against a Mach 1 at Sebring if you are up for it!

[@jrms60r]

Randy said LS think he meant LT1 9:26 It’s ok your still the man!

[@lb9gta307]

@@saltyfloridaman7163 Those are just option codes. It was the public that latched onto the LS name because it was a small block but not a Chevy small block and people wanted an easy way to define it. There have been other engines with an LSx option code just like there have been other engines with an LTx option code. But yes, the current LT1 is basicly just a 6.2L LS with GDI.

[@lb9gta307]

@@saltyfloridaman7163 because it isn't. It's a corperate GM engine not created by the Chevrolet division unlike the Chevy small block and have next to nothing related to Chevy small blocks. They're also not "adopted into other GM vehicles" since they were designed from the start to replace the Chevy in everything it was used in. Corvette just gets the latest stuff first.

[@Esqezmee]

Randy, could you go into the weeds on your experience regarding the flat plane crank in the 350 and it not being happy long term on the track?

[@randypobstofficial]

Simple: excess vibration due to an improper design. Driver can feel it. It damages it's bearings if run at 8000 rpm long term. The Mustang teams do not race it. GT500 is cross-plane again, and GT still is.

Good to see you get you're own channel....I agree with the others...YOU'RE driving opinion matters....you REALLY wring em out and tell it the way it is.

[@robertc4311]

40k miles, dubious brakes and only 4/10s of a second difference? Thats impressive! That’s the difference in drivers. The Camaro held its own. Great video content! I’m subscribing right now. Let’s go do this!

[@somguy728]

Only a Volvo guy could be so unbiased - one of the best reviewers on the net.

[@kirk9899]

Randy, great video. I think you may want to consider comparing the Mach1 to a price comparable Camaro. I purchased my 19 ZL1 1LE for 63K before dealer fees and tax. I know that Mach1 with the Performance Pack is 62K.

[@williambedard8452]

Camaro would eat it, Randy can't trash Ford with an evenly priced car race.

[@changes8]

Yo, I didn’t know you had a dang channel. Had I known sooner, I would have subbed sooner!

[@busardr1452]

Working a lot harder in the 1LE compared to the Mach 1. Looked like had more fun in the Camaro as well. Both are great every day cars that you can take to the track and have a lot of fun. The price disparity between the two cars brand new is huge though. A Mach 1 with the track package will run you north of $60k and a well equipped one is almost $70k. The Camaro well equipped with the 1LE package is less than $55k. That is a huge difference in price that will help you afford tires on those track days if you go with the 1LE.

[@cardo1111]

Randy is the real deal. He really knows his stuff, a pleasure watching him do what he loves to do.

[@JonBecker81]

He’s had the car a month then goes to the track and hands the keys over to Randy Pobst. Randy is about the only person in the world I’d feel comfortable doing that with. Richard Hammond on the other hand…

[@user-yq6ov6ow7l]

I’ve had the opposite experience. The better the driver the more freaking nuts they are. Yeah he might be less likely to put it into a wall, but I promise randy is absolutely punishing that car.

[@JonBecker81]

@@user-yq6ov6ow7l well you know going into it that he’s going to be putting it through the ringers if you’re taking it to a track. That’s what you’re signing up for. But it most likely won’t end up in a ball of fire like it would with Hammond. I see your point though.

I was so excited to find this video! I love watching videos that have you in it because out of all the people I’ve seen, you explain racing in the best way! I love your personality and your joy for driving! Keep up the good work I’m sub’n for sure. The Camaro is my personal favorite car and am hoping to get an auto SS 1LE this coming year! Would love to see an updated video with a Mach 1 and a auto SS 1LE! I’ve always enjoyed the mustang-camaro rivalry never gets old

[@farmerjae443]

I’m in a rental Mustang GT with the 10 spd and wow! You are spot on about the transmission figuring stuff out. A bit jerky som times but when you give it hell it’s perfecto 👌. The 5.0 have a great should and power. Need to see about an SS test drive and I can decide my next car finally.

[@1LE_Ciko]

It’s has and adaptive learning transmission.. at first I thought my shit was broken lol but as it learns your driving style the jerking occurs way less

[@lb9gta307]

I'm more into older cars, fuel and spark is all I really want a computer involved in, but these comparisons are still interesting and I think you have a great on camera personality. Happy to see that you have your own channel.

You can fill a hole in the internet with ALOT more comparisons. Since the death of Head 2 Head on MT, there's nowhere to watch a real driver's driver shake down two cars.

[@randypobstofficial]

Thanks, Michael! Yeah, I miss Head-to-Head also.

[@danielmembrillo6472]

I agree. I think any car aficionado will watch Randy because of who he is. They trust his judgement and ability. If he can get his editor to do better on videos are start posting more REAL head to Heads (everything even on cars) and then time each track session....could be super successful. I'm sure Randy has other things going on though....
