.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.

Xanthos two simple questions for you. Have you even driven a Mustang GT or a Camaro Z28/SS of any year and or have you owned one?
In my opinion by the way you speak, you seem to rely a ton on magazines and seem to be an avid bench racer. The 2010 Mustang GT will not lose to the 2010 Camaro V6 Period. In the twisties, I wouldent exactly claim the Mustang GT is going to "sure as hell" get tromped by the V6 Camaro. 40 "Flywheel" Horsepower for under a grand...pointless. If you've ever actually drag raced, and know alittle about how to race the main thing to get you out of the hole is TORQUE. 2500 dollars for a suspension upgrade, how does this make the v6 any faster? At the drag strip IRS usually isnt the preferred rear end. 500 bucks for tires? Again what for? To help that 3.6 with your claimed 340 hp and 270 plus torque rocket down the 1/4
As for the V6 Camaro passing a GT in the 1/4 for roughly $4000 in upgrades this could be a valid point, to each his own.
Then again with $4k in upgrades, a 2010 GT can beat an SS...who cares. After you start to modify, upgrade its a whole new ball game.
Look better doing it? Thats an opinion, not a fact.
I guarantee you that you will not find a Camaro SS whether it be a 1SS/2SS being sold cheaper than a 2010 Mustang GT even with the Track Pack.
$31k for a Camaro SS=no. $31,000 for a Mustang GT/track pack=yes.
The Camaro SS is listed at $31k, this doesn't mean you'll find one for $31k out the door.
The Mustang GT has nothing to worry about from the V6 Camaro. The SS will be the 2010 Mustang GTs only competition along with the Challenger RT/SRT-8. Both will be faster and should be. V6 Camaros/Mustangs racing V8s Camaros/Mustangs is irrelevant. Itll always happen from time to time and these types of races are pointless, unless the V6 is seriously built up.
