Also not correct. Again, Camaro does indeed out-accelerate Mustang and, on road courses where that superior acceleration and better brakes can overcome the Mustang's handling advantage, the Camaro wins. That said, the fact that all of the Mustang's handling numbers are superior to the Camaros tells you that if you start taking away sections of straightaway and add more curves the advantage will eventually swing over to the Mustang. That means that some tracks will favor Camaro and others will favor Mustang.
I'm talking about handling in real world situations. You know how pointless it is to have a track mostly made of curves? That means horsepower would amount to almost nothing and have little affect and things like the Evo X could outdo Z06's lol.
