True enough, but remember that the majority of those cars are FWD, it makes it much easier to equip it with IRS.

Im just playing devils advocate here....
We have heard from a few GM gurus that are CAMAROS are going to have great suspension........ but they are GM employees..... I cant wait until all of the car mags get their hands on the car and do some good number crunching.... Then and only then we will be able to put this to rest.... IMHO......CAMARO is going to take on and beat anything in its class. |

We've also heard unanimously from the car mags that tested the V6 that the Camaro's handling is definitely world class and they couldn't wait to get their hands on the SS.

So the enthusiast market with Ford is limited to those who make six figure salaries? Come on man, be realistic. If you don't think that the Camaro is right with the Mustang in "price vs performance" then I really don't know what to tell you. A car I can have for $31k that is still on par with a car that is $42k (GT500) sounds like a hell of a deal to me.

Either way the 2010 Camaro SS will be an outstanding performance value and should outperform a trackpak equipt 2010 Mustang GT. It won't be long until there are numerous reviews out there and then we'll see. Last edited by porcupinekiller; 03-16-2009 at 01:51 PM. |

I think expanding the line-up includes more of a difference between the V6 and SS (cosmetically)..and of course a higher-performing model to "compete" with the GT500 ( although the numbers look pretty promising right now). Also, it's nice (but not necessary, obviously) to have the little perks like Navigation. Thats kinda my one concern is that visually the Camaro is a knockout.....albeit a bit a tad plain until you get into the SEMA models.....Or Jinx's creations!

so the camaro is better

SO the your saying the STOCK camaro SS is better than the STOCK mustang. Put a suspension kit on the camaro from pedders then you can compare cars that have suspension packages on them. Until then just compare the stock cars. If you have to mod a car to compare it then you know the one your up against is better. |

I'm sorry did I miss something? When did a test come out for the SS Camaro? I haven't seen any evidence that the Mustang will have better skid pad numbers? The best I've seen from the GT is .95g and the only spec we've gotten for the SS is from the Chevy webiste which states greater than .9g, which could mean anywhere from .91g - .99g, I'm thinking somewhere around .94g - .96g! But, until we get a test we won't know for sure. But to be fair you did say the SS will whoop the GT so you're mostly right!
