The main thing for me with the Mustang v6 is the poor performance and fixed rear axle/suspension. I know that they have juiced it up for 2011 but my Camaro is a handling GOD. If they haven't improved the handling then it wont really be competitive.

The Mustang V6 actually outperforms the Camaro V6 in handling more so than straight line acceleration. You can get the same suspension in the V6 that the GT uses to out handle the SS.

And a lot of people are very ignorant on IRS v SRA.

Pff.. again. "Mustang V6 actually outperforms the Camaro V6 in handling" and "GT uses to out handle the SS". Where are u getting this? Amazing categoriality with 0 facts and experience... 2005 GT is handle like a huge hippopotamus.

I already posted the article with the v6s up against each other that showed the V6 stang out handled the v6 camaro.

I am sure 1968 Camaros handled like crap to.

You sure you want to accept those times. I am sure you can find worse times to fit your argument.

Or you can keep your fingers in your ears and keep saying "nananananannannanaananaanana".

This is not quantum physics, folks.
Where is this coming from? My 2010 v6 didn't come 312hp at the crank? EDIT...just saw the statement from GM. Yay for us, lol. 8bhp due to a press release, Ford will re-issue a press release soon stating they just recertified thier 3.7ltr, it gained 8bhp and 5lb-ft of torque as well. It's now 313hp and 285lb-ft, lol..

Again, please re-read my post. I clearly state that 8hp at the crank doesn't amount to anything other then the paper king.



At least now people can start the 2011 vs 2011 comparisions, and if the Mustang still comes out on top, awesome! 2010 vs 2010 the Camaro was king, 2011 just might be the Mustangs. We'll know in a few short weeks!
