I would still give the edge to the Mustang due to the gearing and higher trap speed, but it is certainly closer than they managed. You can even hear it on their launch how they bogged the Camaro out of the hole.
The main thing that bothered me in that comparison was the complaints about the Camaro styling. They LOVED this car a year ago, the general public seems to be pretty happy with it, but all of a sudden none of these guys think the Camaro is worth owning? I thought that made the write-up seem pretty biased. I think they say whatever is the most surprising to try and sell more magazines. When something changes to bump the Camaro ahead, all of a sudden they will all love the styling again.  |
Yeah, the styling complaints were really strange - they complained about the Mustang styling and build quality last year and raved about the Camaro. Now the Camaro sux - please. And that
was a really pathetic launch in the Camaro, like they didn't even try and the Mustang launch was balls to the wall. Don't get it - I know the Stang is faster but that was kinda lame looking.
