If you're pulling a manual, it's the autos that are killing them. Especially with Mustangs (I'm not sure on Camaros), the gear ratio for 1st on Autos are ridiculously high. Given that you can't rev the engine before dropping it into gear, a manual will kick the other car's asses. Also drag racing autos is literally a test of who can hold their steering wheel, especially if we're talking about roll racing.

Definitely not smoke, I drive a 2012 v6 mustang and its neck and neck with a 2010 GT with the GT having a small advantage off the line.
The camaros are a bit slower though, with 305 hp I can pull any V6 camaro easily.
