re: I test drove a 2016 S550 5.0 6 speed with GT performance package today

911, I think part of the problem with the mustang is it makes no sound while it is going fast.

I think the Benz would be a bit much for my 15 yr. old kid.
You might have overpaid if you paid $160K, bro.

I really liked the mustang but when my real toy finally came out the shop I was like "mod or sell" with the mustang. my wife drove it sometimes and she didn't want it to be loud so it went bye bye for a Jeep.

Cosmo, we both know that black people don't have baby seats. They get a pass from trivial shite like that.

Where you gonna put your car seat's for your kids?

But the '10 Camaro had only 10-20 lb-ft more than the '15 Mustang. I fully expect it from the Vette - it's faster and more powerful in every manner possible and should be for twice the price. But I thought the Stang would feel more like the Camaro - though like I mentioned, probably just a simple case of manual vs. auto.

yeah. I'm sure with a tune to reduce torque management it would feel similar to the SS

A ford?

I just love comin up on some frat boys like you in a beemer or ricers in my 12 yo outdated Ford Mustang...it's a Terminator, 600 rwhp and yes, it's not that loud. See you on the road.

are you asking why the rear end gear ratio matters when you have a car with more gears over the 1:1 ratio?

You know having extra gears doesn't change the axle ratio.

Simply put in may cars in third gear you have a 1:1 ratio. For every rotation of the crankshaft you have one rotation of the drive axle. (this isn't all cars just and example) Now Now the driveaxle takes this and turns the pinion on the rear end. The gears inside then transmit power to the wheels. A 3.73 gear will multiply the torque from the driveshaft by 3.73. 4.10 gears would multiply that by 4.1.
So the greater the ratio, the greater the torque, but adversely the greater the engine has to work to produce speed, so generally 4.10 cars top out at much lower speeds than 3.51 cars. Or 3.73.
Any manual is going to have similar gears 1-3, but some cars are geared to stay longer in first than others. (A Lamborghini Murcielago redlines at 70mph in first gear, most others can't do more than 30-40)

So long post short, your post makes no sense.

No pics or anything?
