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

James and Thomas take the new 2019 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack 2 (PP2) and pit it against the Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE. They are price-matched, and both V8 rear wheel drive powerhouses. They've also been given the 'track treatment' by their manufacturers. The boys explore the cars driving dynamics and what they are like to live with every day. Can visibility of the and icon of the Mustang compete with the Camaro's performance offerings? Exterior and interior styling comparisons help figure out which one takes it in the looks department, and the back roads do the rest. Watch to see the outcome. SUBSCRIBE!

I got used to the visibility after a few years of owning the Camaro, then I drove another car and was like, holy shit, I can see everything!

[@jagsfanrick]

Yea but that low ride is awesome though IMO.

[@1TheXshadoW1]

exactly xD, i like my camaro but the the joke about seeing out of the car was well done lol. Still, i preffer the maro over the stang.

[@gtrance3567]

Not a daily driver for me so it’s ok. The only time I have issues is backing up, tight areas with curbs, and looking out my 4 or 5 through that tiny window. Normal lane changes are easy.

[@modernmusclecar1904]

Haha. I agree. But after owning my 5t gen for 6 years the visibility issue isn't even a concern.

[@markmarshall9941]

They compared a track car against the non track car, if they ran the mustang 350R against this car it's car for car, and that GT350R would be a better match to Chevy's track car and we ALL know who boss car for car, it's the GT350R in this case. But if you want Chevrolet to win something you must pit a modified or specifically spec track car against upgraded standard GT, enough said? Or do we take a fiberglass 2 seater (Corvette) against a GT 350 as well in which in most aspects the GT wins, even in a straight line. If they went GT 500 against the ZL1 Vette, it's GT 500 all day? Too much said. If you knew cars the Vette was created to compete against Ford's two seat with a monster V8, now hear this, it was the " Thunder " bird, in that case Thunderbird wins too, because the other TWO seater V8, the 426 and 427 Cobra would dominate anything and was the fastest production car ever made until release of Jaguar's XJ220 about 1989. So let's keep the apples with apples. The GT 500 beating a Vette is extraordinary because again a 4 seater V8 against a two seat V8 and it's fiberglass too, so put that in enthusiast pipes and smoke it.

[@artagain8977]

I have an ‘18 1LE. It’s an absolute dream to drive. I’ve owned Mustangs, Porche’s and various other sports cars but this out paces them all. Granted I’ve made some small performance mods since new but even stock it’s a tremendous bargain. The Tremec is rated for 700ftlbs of torque as is. Also, I’m so tired of people commenting about the visibility. Next time you see someone with a Camaro ask them about it. It’s not horrendous. You just learn to look around more. I can’t say from experience but I bet it’s about the same as a Lamborghini or some Ferrari’s but you don’t hear auto journalists whining about it in those cars. After rebates and a negotiated sale price, I paid $47,250 for a 2SS 1LE. Where in the world can you get another new car with stats to match?

Same like you I owned a Porsche 911 Carrera, '11 Mustang GT, '14 Camaro ZL1, Corvette C7 Stingray Z51 and now my 6th gen Camaro SS. GM raised the bar in performance compared to my previous cars. My preferred one in this order: 1.- 6th gen Camaro SS 2.- 5th gen Camaros ZL1 3.- '11 Mustang GT 5.0 track pack I hated both my Porsche and Corvette, they were very unreliable.👎

[@artagain8977]

JM M I will say tho, in 1989 I bought a 1986 994s and that cars handling was pretty close to the 1LE. Attributed mostly due to the 50/50 weight distribution.

Just by comparing the Camaro SS1LE with some exotic sport cars, we are able to see that this Camaro is already competing in a higher league: Per C&D at VIR: 2:54.6 Ferrari 430 Scuderia 2:54.8 Camaro SS1LE The performance Lap times of the ZL1 & ZL1 1LE are much better. 2:49.9 Ferrari 458 Italia 2:50.1 Camaro ZL1 2:45.1 Ferrari 488 GTB 2:45.7 Camaro ZL1 1LE 2:45.8 McLaren 650 S Spider From MT at Laguna Seca: 1:34.23 Audi R8 V10 1:34.30 Camaro ZL1 1LE

[@xDivulGeX]

This is not valid in this comparison. They are reviewing the SS with the 1LE Package. Not the ZL1 or ZL1 1LE. The ZL1 is an entirely different beast and should be compared to the GT500, from a price perspective. A ZL1 1LE costs just north of 70 grand and the GT500 is just shy of 73 base.

While I agree that if you are tracking the car constantly you’d want the 1LE because of the cooling and the suspension, the PP2 is definitely in the same performance category. It was actually quicker on C&Ds lightning laps compared to the 1LE. I ended up buying the PP2 because I liked the interior more, it felt more comfortable as a daily (mostly because you can see out of it), and most of the racing I do are highway pulls. Both fantastic drivers cars, my PP2 feels so special to drive around

[@Mully1219]

@@xDivulGeX sorry, but if you're going by price then zl1 should be competing against gt350 not gt500. And zl1 absolutely destroys it. You're comparing fully spec'd camaro to base mustang gt500.

[@ceooflovingthehomies9294]

Both are awesome! I’ve driven a 2SS, A GT and now own a GT PP1. The Camaro certainly has better handling (and every time I corner hard I wish I had the Camaro). However in every other situation I prefer the mustang, it’s ride is nicer, the visibility is better, I like the look better and I like the sound better. I’d have been very happy with both but since I wanted a grand touring daily driver I think the mustang lives up to the GT name. The SS lives up to its super sport name by being dominant on the track.

They act like the dash is there for fondling or something. The surfaces that you are actually supposed to be touching are soft. The plastic on the other surfaces is perfectly fine and durable.

And the Mustang you feel every bump on the road with those massive tires.

[@vincecarter4743]

Having owned a PP1 and now a 1LE, the Camaro is the better car.

[@jmm1174]

Great that you were able to try both. What advantages did you find on the SS1LE over the Mustang PP1?

[@vincecarter4743]

@@jmm1174 Honestly the 15 GT PP car needed about a $1K of Steeda parts in the rear end to deal with the severe wheel hop, then the Camaro has more torque and it throughout the RPM range...just feels way stronger especially on the low end vs the Mustang. Camaro chassis is just superior. period. Mustang is very very good, once modified.

I don't own them. I own 2 Toyota 4runners. But I drove the Camero for a while as rental. and I fell in love with it.

[@TheShiftKnob]

Revealing comparison of these two powerhouses. You really got me with the way you go about presenting...entertaining, personal, humorous and informative. I actually like the both of them; but maybe I'd give it to the Mustang - this iconic styling and the very typical exhaust note...you can always tell it's a Mustang that's coming or cruising by, not only a (great) V8. Addiction and cure at the same time as Coyote or Voodoo. Addendum: As overall package, I now consider the Camaro in (2)SS 1LE trim the best offer. Quite a few reasons for it, the price tag only adding to it. The iconic status of the Mustang stays untouched.

[@alphonsusho8962]

I like how it's a duo, because you can see they do have different preferences thus making the review less bias

I saw a couple of '19 1LEs at an event the other week and I think they look better in person instead of pictures and in the right colors. The two I saw were white and gray. I preferred the white one, looked sharp with the blacked out hood, wheels, etc.

Love the channel! I'd love to hear you guys talk about reliability and longevity of the cars you guys review and not just what's the car like when its brand new because cars don't really stay new for long.

[@kevinnorwood7355]

Thank you for testing a Mustang PP2 no one else has done it as of yet. IMO, I would take the PP2 over the GT 350 just because other then the track there aren't too many places you can wring one out. Get some sticky summer tires like others are going and have at thee. Early 80s Corvette did something similar as with the Camaro. It was 4+3 and would skip a gear to save gas.

[@sir5574]

The Camaro had Michelin tires which are not the stock SS1LE tires. Based on the tread pattern I saw in the video, they aren't even in the same class as the cup 2 tires you're running on the mustang. Given you're not running the OEM tires on the Camaro it wasn't apples to apples. Still a great video!

[@robertb8447]

I was just thinking the same thing! I was like why do they keep saying OMG the Mustang has the Sport Cup 2s? They never mentioned what the 1le has on it. But at 1:31 you can see it has the ps4s on it.

[@ThrottleHouse]

Ps4s are an equivalent tire to oem. And the cup2s are in a different league entirely. On the road having them on oem tires doesn’t matter because we aren’t doing lap times or anything. But when we take them on the track we might actually even the tire playing field. We will see...

[@valiant7357]

[@WildWeasel]

The real reason those paddles are there is the same reason the Corvette manuals have them. It's because they couldn't be bothered to make a different one for the manual so they gave them the function to turn on/off the rev matching which is an utterly ridiculous thing for you to use paddles for. But it probably keeps prices down just a smidge, so more power to them. :)

[@jamesmin2837]

Obviously. But who cares? German car have blank buttons everywhere. Some cars have exhaust cutouts in bumpers / rear diffusers for phantom exhaust tips. It is cost savings, and it's fine. For price of 1 BMW M4, you can buy both Mustang and Camaro. You can't have it all for such a low price.

[@Judaswyq]

The name of those cars actually define themselves pretty good. Mustang GT is more on the GT side and Camaro SS is more of a sports car. Both great cars.

[@KingDavid0606]

Actually the GT feels like a sports car. Would you mind naming another GT car?

Fenrir Wang - The Mustang is 100% sports car beat the 1le at VIR by little more than a second. Don’t go off one review.

[@zacharytrull4665]

leeleelee yeah then it overheated after a few laps, plus the 1LE beat the PP2 Mustang at Laguna Secca🤷🏻‍♂️ so it’s a drivers race between the two

[@KingDavid0606]

@@zacharytrull4665 that's not his point. He's saying that calling the GT a "gt car" instead of a sports car is completely incorrect. Having driven one, I agree. It overheated because the real "track pack" of the Mustangs are the gt350 and gt350r with all the extra coolers that also come with the 1le. To keep costs down, the GTs don't come with those. A strange decision by Ford to include slicks on that package instead of chassis stiffening, electronic diff, and all kinds of cooling since only very few buyers would ever purchase a pp2. I guess they didn't want it to compete with the gt350 and hurt it's sales.
