You dont get through that track on just straight away speed if thats what your saying....... You gotta be able to get through the corners fast as well. Im not going to look up all the acceleration times and weights of each car.... you can if you want. Sooooo its got more power....it also weighs more..... we could go back and fourth on this all day long

Once again.
Competition mode was not on for any of those tests. It will handle differently with it on. |

Also dont forget the test of the Camaro were done on a day that was just above freezing. MT already stated they wanted to rerun all the test on a warmer day to see what the car was better able to do.

The only comment I'll say as far as handling for both cars is.... it all depends on the loose nut between the steering wheel and the drivers seat.... how good of a driver that person is. So the best bet is to go drive both yourself and decide which is best for you and for me it won't matter that much because I'm buying the Camaro reguardless, so arguing would be pointless! It all boils down to... what is your taste and you won't change others minds on what their taste is.

There's no reason to be. They handle differently, because they're different cars. The "advantage" the Mustang has is so small it's negligable.
Chevy chose to seriously make a "sports car"...that means they stressed superior refinement over brutal performance. IMO, it was a smart choice, and sales numbers will reflect that. |

GM tends to go for grip over handling. Grip no doubt is fine, but I still think handling will be the weakest link in the Camaro's dynamics. That's not saying it will be bad, just not as good as acceleration, braking, and grip.
