2010 Camaro Review Compilation - Page 13 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think several reviews have commented that the 2010 Mustang is, in their view, more nimble and with more responsive steering than the new Camaro. Please tell me the Camaro doesn't have the same steering gear as the GTO, I have one and if feels as slow as a Buick rack.

the Camaro will have a steering gear similiar to our Pedders high speed rack. It is a good gear! the Mustand solutions to handling are to add a sway bar that is ridiculously over powering. They do the same thing on their coils. A Rousch set up approaches handling in this exact way. Pedders does not. We have just completed the last 2 Mustang generation Xa coil over fitments, and they work really well and keep the tires on the ground.

Just got the July 2009 print version of Car & Driver.

Update: found review online

Mustang 1st -- 209 pts -- lighter and tighter in every way, good visibility, engine sound

Camaro SS 2nd -- 193 pts -- like acceleration and grip, inventive interior; dislike angry appearance, tiny, trunk, hard seats, and "nose-deep-in-a-hole feeling" (high beltline)

Challenger R/T 3rd -- 190 pts -- too heavy, awful tires

Just remember: the car you like the best is the best car for you, what reviewers think should just provide guidelines for you own test drive...

When I was a little guy in the mid to late 60s, there was the Mustang vs Camaro arguments and in 20 years, they will still be discussing it. Pedders has just completed our beta test fitting on the last 2 Mustang generations, so we know how the vehicles handle compared to the Zeta platform vehicles. Ford is still very old school with their Mustang suspension. They hide or try to hide their flaws by putting on gorilla sway bars and such. The Camaro suspension is seriously better than Mustang, but does have more body role than Mustang, which is one of those things that I do not like.

So in the eye of the beholder, to me, the Mustang looks good in and out, but the Camaro look awesome which gets me back to my first sentence: in the late 60s, I liked the Camaro look over the Mustang, and we even had a Mustang. So traditions continue.......

I'm LOLing at how the Mustang is barely cheaper than the Camaro, and based on C&D's test is 6 MPH and 0.6 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile. That is a butt-stomping in musclecar terms. These car mags always are on the Mustang's jock no matter what the test results... like the "gotta have it" factor when C&D tested the Mustang against the GTO despite the Mustang losing almost every performance test.
