But if you look at the 0-100mph and 0-140mph times you can see that the Camaro SS dominates the Mustang GT. Once you get above 60mph, the Camaro SS just walks away from the Mustang.

Camaro SS, 0-100mph = 10.7 sec
MustangGT, 0-100mph = 12.3 sec

Camaro SS, 0-140mph = 22.3 sec
MustangGT, 0-140mph = 34.2 sec
True enough. Maybe some folks get to enjoy their cars frequently at speeds between 100 and 140. But for me in my daily commute, it's mostly 0-50 type stuff. So the 100+ stuff is nice for bragging rights, but not real meaningful to my driving enjoyment. YMMV...
