It's handling is fine but it pays a ride quality penalty which the Camaro doesn't. That is why I feel the Camaro is more well rounded.

Why didn't the mustang do better? It has 100 more hp at the wheels and is 250 lbs lighter. It should have made a stronger showing. The Camaro is the more complete car,
More advanced. It is not a dragstrip star by any means. If you do mild changes to the Camaros engine it would kill the mustang on a road course. It corners harder, the stang doesn't have the contact patch the supsension, Mrc or the brakes.
