Hi Frost.
We already have a the 2010 Camaro SS vs Dodge Challenger SRT-8 and a classic match-up with the 69 Camaro SS vs 66 Mustang.
The 370z and Mustang GT have been drawn against each other in quite a few test reviews. Similar horsepower and price. As I'm sure you know, the Z weighs a couple of hundred lbs less, but this isn't a straight up car comparison, far from it. This is a chance to take the bragging rights, but ultimately a lot of it will come down to the driving ability of whoever is game to represent their car and their community. It's as much owner vs owner, ego vs ego, as it is car vs car and community vs community.
The entire day will play host to 10 match-ups, some of which include . . .
Viper ACR vs Corvette ZR1
Nissan GT-R vs Porsche 997 TT
BMW M5 vs Mercedes Benz E63
Mitsubishi EVO X vs Subaru STi
67-69 Camaro vs 66 Mustang
Audi RS4 vs BMW M3
It's run what you brung. Owner drives. You don't need to be an expert driver, but some track experience is expected. One set of tires. A full tank of gas. No track-side tuning. We're looking for a stock vehicle, but encourage all submissions, even if you have mods. We will only be running fairly matched vehicles, but we aren't ruling out equally modded vehicles.
The shoot will be taking place 11/13/09 at Irwindale Speedway.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
