We shall see how Ford fits that wide 5.0 engine in a narrower engine bay. While GM can fit the smaller and lower center of gravity LT1 engine in the 6th gen Camaro.
It will be fun when both cars hit the streets and real comparisons can be made with real cars. Hopefully GM doesn't drag their feet too long on getting the new Camaro to the market.

You may need to research. Depending on the models compared the Mustang is the better handler in V6 vs V6 and GT vs SS, where the Camaro arguably has Boss vs 1LE and GT500 vs ZL1. The non MRC 1LE handles arguably as well as the ZL1 and the non MRC Z28 will detroy it. MRC helps, bu it is not a magic bullet. It's real benefit is it's ability to offer stellar handling AND ride in the same package. And remember the Mustang is getting an independant rear and all the handling prowess it currently has is on an SRA. if you think they cannot challenge GM in handling, when they already are with a handling handicap, you may wan to rethink you Chevy colored views on the automotive world.........
