Well said!

Mustang want's it bad , nice revs !

ERNIE ARAMBULA, Penske/Donahue cheated back then with acid dipping the bodies and using fiberglass components wherever possible. If not for that, the Boss 302 Mustang was faster.

@@sergeantmasson3669 All of the Shelby transams Mustangs & Cougars were acid dipped also .

@@sergeantmasson3669 - Acid dipping was pretty common back then. Sam Posey's Challenger got nabbed for that in tech inspection when an official was jaw boning and leaned on the roof with his elbow and it dented! He said something like "Oh boys, boys, we can't have this now." The head of Chrysler appropriated a new car from a local dealer and they spent the night changing bodies.

pg1171, Boss 302 Mustang was faster and handled better.

You just described the very essense of their biggest differences. The Chevy 302DZ engine made it's power in the lower rpm range where the Boss302 engine was all about top end speed. I'd give the brakes to the Ford and the handling to the Chevy though.

Thank you! I have a few laps around RA under my belt 😄

72 Pantera with a 351C. Yeah, I know what I’m missing.

@@ces4399 LOL

'99 mustang with a 454cleavor ... i'll keep my car that can handle vs that horrid front system the boss had :3

My Dad had the 69 429 Boss. Only got to drive it a hand full of times with him riding along. Just as well I guess. Wish I had it today!

Owned a '70 Boss 302 in college 1973

The Boss had a little more top end oomph but both great cars

Boss 302s can't be beat on the straights. They're top end monsters. He was toying with the Camaro on the straights until his tires were warm then it was bye.

My guess, the Camaro overheated his rear tires, in desperation, trying to stay ahead.

So since your car shit all over you and lost you the race, you want to give it to me, right?

And drivers were Racers!

and the corvettes plowed through the corners instead of taking em LOL!

It got a little tight, but we squeezed through. A fun race!

@@evan_pecore Would have been nice to had a rear view to watch you gap him....

aw man, we arnt all that stupid... >.

i lost it, straight lost it... like he did xD xD xD

Thanks!

A lot too much,or his brakes failed😂

That's not true. Z28 302 cam was 455 lift whereas the Boss 302 cam had 540 lift. Both engines had near the same compression ratio. Both rated at 290 hp but in reality, the Boss 302 was 340 hp to the Chevy 310 hp. Boss 302 advantage was the 351 4v cylinder heads. All Boss 302 engines had 4 bolt mains. Only the '69 Camaro Z28 302 had 4 bolt mains. Bottom line, the Boss 302 was the more superior engine.

But the Camero had the superior front suspension. That helped them. The Mustangs were hampered by theirs. It was a mucked up setup. Okay for street driving but weak for anything more spirited. I had a '70 fastback as a daily driver for 17 years. Got a little spirited on the street in my youth. ;-)

@@sergeantmasson3669 just about drop two golf balls side-by-side down those ports too... shame the combustion chambers wernt as crazy as the ports or they really woulda been crazy good

@@narmale Get REAL ! Chevy 302 and Ford Boss 302, the Ford Boss 302 was far better.

@@bumblebeebob Camaro front suspension was superior over the Mustang? According to who, you? Street driving, the Mustang handled far better. Camaro rear mono-leaf springs were a joke. Chevy tried adding traction bars and staggered shocks but neither helped. Camaro front suspension, the ball joints were weak and often failed. I'm a 50+ years master level factory certified auto/truck tech. Camaro has never been superior over Mustang. GM discontinued Camaro for 8 years and it's being discontinued again. There will not be a 7th generation Camaro. Mustang began in 1964 and it's never been discontinued. Mustang has always outsold Camaro as well. Enjoy your delusions.

I'd like to see wht's on the Camaro's camera, I think the Mustang wiggles it's way as well...

@@robertpoudrette4483 That was only an observation of the guy under pressure. Which after the Camaro fought so hard to keep the lead, well I figure his tires were shot. Needed some rear end dampening in there, way too stiff on the rear for this road course. Heaven knows I'd take that Camaro any day as well...

These engines are built with modern internals, but built to the original displacement using steel block/heads. For reference, the mustangs engine in this video was over 550hp at the crank and turned 8400rpm.

Is that an actual 302 Trans Am Camaro? Or is it just some other late 60s Camaro set up for racing, but with a 327 or 350? That's surprisingly not mentioned anywhere here, despite the fact that it's a pretty big detail. Assuming it is a 302 T/A Camaro, then it's impressive how closely matched those cars were with their Ford, AMC, Mopar rivals.

It actually looked as if his rear end is causing the problem. way too stiff, and bouncy at the same time....

@@kramnull8962 to much spring, not enough damping

Let's go Brandon! Print those ballots!
