the 2010 camaro may have just beaten the 2 others but the 2nd and 3rd production years of the camaro will be even sweeter

Most people who are splitting hairs on this forum about magazine results probably aren't skilled enough to drive the car to max potential anyway.
I don' see why it is so hard to give some kudos to the Mustang for hanging in there with a SRA...it isn't like its going to make the Camaro any less of a car or take away from anyones value as a human being because a Mustang GT had some unexpected potential on the track.

How many of those reviews had a mustang GT with track pack installed? Give the Camaro an extra $1500 in upgrades and I would suspect the story would be a bit different.

no one has said that mustangs flop around the track like a station wagon. . ..all though, top gear did beat a V6 mustang, with a horse, but it was a really tight circle.

but the track pack tuned for track, and loses alot of road comfort. the camaro ss is tuned for performance, but still delivers a smooth ride for everyday driving.

No one person in particular I guess, but ever since the 2010 Mustang reviews have been posted with the track pack, there have been a few gripes with how the Mustang fared in the handling department. Especially considering that the Mustang did as well or better (in some reviews) than the Camaro SS. some of the common reasons being: 1) unfair because there is no track pack for the Camaro 2) This was not the "standard" Mustang GT 3) Accusations that this or that magazine was given money to post a particular opinion or finding 4) Camaro competition mode wasn't used 5) Cold temperatures Maybe a lot of this is based on earlier discussions about the Mustang GT w/track pack performance on other threads....but all the above reasons were pulled from this thread, and while potentially valid they are still splitting hairs a little IMHO.

No, not really on a track. The differences will show up during aggressive driving on irregular (mountain/city) roads. But you really shouldn't be drving THAT aggressively on public roads anyways.
