2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 – Head 2 Head Ep. 71

Posted by

There’s a muscle-car war brewing in Detroit these days. Right as the handling-champion Z/28 goes out of production, Ford delivers a Shelby-badged suckerpunch with a flat-plane-crank V8, MR dampers, and carbon fiber wheels. Head 2 Head host Jason Cammisa takes the two through a series of challenges: first, some canyon carving to see which car is better on the road. Then, a dyno shootout: can the GT350R’s 5.2-liter Voodoo make more power than the venerable 7.0-liter LS7? And then, it’s onto Chuckwalla Valley Raceway where Jason and racecar driver Randy Pobst find out not only which one is faster around the track, but which car handles best. No muscle-car comparison test would be complete without a drag race, of course, so Cammisa lines up the cars with the help of his cousin Bob from West Virginia. This episode of Head 2 Head, presented by Tire Rack, is the one-stop shop for everything you need to know about the latest Detroit muscle-car rivalry.... Read More | Share it now!

Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, is an all-new show for the Motor Trend channel! Each episode takes you into the engine-dyno room where power claims are questioned and head-to-head shootouts ensue. Engine Masters finds the truth about speed parts and has a lot of fun doing it with hosts David Freiburger of HOT ROD and Roadkill, Steve Dulcich of Engine Masters magazine, and Steve Brule of Westech Performance Group. In this first episode you’ll find out if Blueprint Engines is accurate in its advertised power for a 400ci Chevy small-block crate engine, and then we’ll see if Freiburger is justified in his love for dual carburetors and high-rise tunnel-ram intake manifolds—plus there’s cash on the line. In upcoming episodes you’ll see carbs versus EFI, Chevy versus Mopar, Edelbrock versus Holley carburetors and lots more.
