No, what we're talking about is not 0-60 times - its 1/4 miles.

Mustang V6 - 15.3 @ 6.9 0-60 @ 21,000
Camaro V6 - 14.5 @ 6.1 0-60. If they drop it to 5.9 0-60, we're looking close to 14.3 @ 23,000
Mustang GT w/ track package - 13.7 @ 5.2 0-60 @ 31,500
Camaro SS - 13.0 @ 4.6 0-60 @ 31,000

.6 seconds, for 8,500 less. Yep, that'll be so hard to pick up. *sarcasm*

No, the camaro won't be faster than the GT stock for stock, at least not in a straight line (It'll sure as hell beat it through the corners, but thats not the point). The point is that for the price difference, you would expect a LOT more of a gap. Especially since the V6 camaro will pick up 40 flywheel horses for under a grand - add 2,500 for a suspension upgrade, and 500 for better tires (not even slicks), and the V6 camaro will pass a GT through the 1/4, for almost five grand less.

P.S. - And look better doing it.
