Ive posted this before in another thread but some of you old timers may remember the M/T test in 1982 at the same Willow Springs of the brand new camaro with 145 hp against the 157 hp Mustang GT. The mustang GT ruled the acceleration runs, but the Camaro was 2.8 seconds faster! And now we have the Camaro 3 seconds faster! Which i think is an even worse beating than in 1982 because what it tells me is the Mustang is very old school and not developed(except for its engine). But in 1982 the performance guys didnt care the camaro handled better.. the mustang could 0-60 in 6.9 secs and the camaro was 8.5 secs.
but i never saw another 157hp mustang run 0-60 in 6.9 secs. i think they were 8 second cars and the camaro was a 9 second car.
I had 4 third gen camaros and the mustang was not even in the same league in handling. My feeling in 2013 is the same as 1982. The Camaro chassis is just better.
