The only downfall you keep trolling around tooting your horn about is the handling... GM did a great drop engineering in a bit of understeer to keep the focus and attention on the vehicle for furture up-grades, need room for improvement somewhere... But lets keep talking about the dream machine 2011 Mustang on a Camaro forum...vroom-vroom internet racing is so much fun, even more so when you don't own either of the vehicles and have no idea what your talking about except what ya' read in an article...

Maybe I have the article wrong. The one Im refering to says "musting wins with less power" with the camaro mustang challenger shoot out.
Its a bs article. Do you believe the mustang has a better transmission because it can get to 120 faster from 5th gear than the camaro from 6th gear? Do you believe the mustang is a better sports car because it has one less gear. Or maybe because it has a "more egronomic" interior. Maybe you guys also belive that Transformers used GM vehicles because they like them. Maybe you guys also belive that in the new Knight Rider show they used a new Mustang because it was the best car around. The camaro beat the mustang in every legit catagory that wasnt opinion based. Except lat gs. So if on paper and on the track the Camaro out performs the Mustang.....how does the mustang win? Oh yeah, say it has a better interior and better transmission.....even though its a 5 speed. |

Your right the quotes about the Camaro's handling where not pretty.... Yet the mustang could not pass it and turned slower laps. Both cars have "issues" and depending on the angle you look at it from both sides can sling mud. The end result is what matters to me...... and the end result was the CAMARO had better times even with the bad handling. |

I agree handling is VERY important.... thats why one of the first things I will do is call up pedders. Still does not change the fact that the Mustang with track pack could not pass the Ill handling Camaro..... This debate will not end until we get a equal horspower and handling type test.... even then we will find something to argue about |

One, is the camaro, in stock form, capable of being a better handling car. What I mean is with some adjusting to the stock components can GM make the understeer go away? Not to be confused with: The suspension components on the camaro are inferior and therefore should be replace with aftermarket pieces. I'd like to think that the Stock Camaro can be tuned to perform better. But I completely agree that a stock camaro will never be as good as one with a some money thrown at aftermarket suspension. Lets not confuse the two... Well I guess there could be a third. GM could leave the suspension as is and offer a track pack like the GT... I'd still like to read a review of a GT without the track pack to see if it is significantly worse than one with the track pack... Maybe the non track pack cars have similar suspension issues to the stock SS... Just a thought...
