Mustang also offers 3:55 gears and 3:91 gears as an option where your only rear end choice with Camaro of a 3:91 is to go for the 1LE package.
Seems GM could tidy up the Camaro and have an even better car.
Same could be said the other way

I'm puzzled why a Camaro gets a better engine and Mustang fans have to settle for less when we've been in the game and had the ability to respond to the 5th gen release.
If the Camaro 1LE can beat the Shelby around Willow Springs then why even mustang?
Also Camaro offers upgraded exhaust and we're stuck with no option.
Camaro's have independent rear suspension while we're still stuck with a live rear axle.
With all the advantages that the Camaro has, we're left to go aftermarket which means more bucks and more hassle.
Seems like GM's tidied up a bit and made the Camaro an even better car.
