Sorry Vizon, but I have got too set the record stright. 1st the Mustang with a track pack IS NOT 400lbs lighter than a Camaro SS.
Camaro SS 3860lbs - Mustang 3572lb = 288lbs

Also it takes more than hp to go fast like gearing. The mustang with track pack has 3.73 gears and 27" diameter tires compared to the camaro 3.45 gears and 28.6" tires (probaly a big reason the camaro is more fuel efficient)
2nd 0-60 is meaning less, 1/4 mile times and trap speeds are much better at testing acceleration. In those cases the mustang is left in the dust.

Mustang GT: 0-60 5.2 sec 1/4mile 13.7 102-103mph
with Track pack: 0-60 4.9 sec 1/4 13.5 104mph

Camaro SS: 0-60 4.7 1/4 13.0 @ 111mph
2011 Camaro SS with 3.73 gears: I am guessing 0-60 4.4 sec 1/4 12.7-12.8 @ 114mph maybe

Edit: does your mustang have the track pack, if not then I your car will not duplicate those number, espescially in handleing.
