So, do you have any comments regarding the handling comparisons of the new Camaro vs. the Mustang with track pak. I for one was expecting the camaro to be superior to the mustang out of the box, but in some respects the old school mustang was superior to the Camaro. That may be a blessing in disguise for you folks who will be supplying those of us who want a Mustang killer with parts, however I’m curious how this happened in the 1st place. Any insight to what contributed to the Camaro’s less than stellar outcome, and where you think the Camaro will benefit most. These answers would be welcome to those of us wanting to improve the Camaros performance here.
I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking with the IRS, the years of development, and the advanced Zeta platform that the SS would outperform the Mustang. Although I do recall one of the comparisons mentioning that the Camaro's lateral acceleration numbers were a little less because the extra power it had made it lose it's grip a little prematurely. Maybe wider wheels would help?
