Just remember, these are the official numbers and should be the gospel as to what the Camaro is and is not capable of, regardless of the test conditions and/or the driver. That was/is the standard of measurement when talking about other makes and models like the Mustang and the Challenger, so we need to be consistent in how we use magazine review numbers.

I don't care what someone else is able to get out of the car on an actual track, these numbers MUST be used whenever a comparison is being made on the internet. Agreed?

Well, looks like we will need to keep the Camaro on the dragstrip. Afterall, if the 2010 Mustang GT is only a one-trick quarter-mile pony with it's handling numbers, the Camaro is going to be downright dangerous!
