I'm not trying to start any major arguments, just tired of hearing the camaro would not hang with the mustang/track pack on a windy road. The article goes into great detail.

The guy above got it right. Reasonably similar cars in the same segment and the difference on the racetrack is less than a second despite more than a 100hp advantage for the Camaro? The difference in mid range torque should have the Camaro absolutely running off and hiding from the Mustang. Reality? Camaro is running away on the straights and the Mustang is absolutely up the Chevy's backside in every corner. The Camaro SS should have an easy two or three second lead on the Mustang at least, and it just doesn't.
Yeah, this comparo proves it, handling is not on the same level between these two.
