A lot of what you read is BS. Both mustang engines are SAE rated, and are not underrated. Magazine idiots are responsible for calling a vehicle underrated after some chassis dyno results and funny math. As for the solid axle handling better, they usually down play the poorer ride quality that comes with those "better" handling numbers the Mustang achieves. The Camaro irs handles many situations very well, including everyday driving around town. The point is, GM can easily offer a stiffer suspension package to achieve better skid pad numbers, but the current balance is probably more agreeable for the majority of people.
