I'm not "hoping", I'm just trying to annoy the non Camaro owners off the boards.

My comparison is valid because all I have heard about is how the camaro was in big trouble because the mustang was going to be so much lighter. The Camaro would not only lose in a drag race, but it would be beat on the track because the "track pack" makes up for no IRS.

My contention is that the SS comes standard with 20's and Brembos and IRS and you need to ADD OPTIONS to the mustang to compete. I don't care how much lighter the base car is because you're going to end up in the tire barrier with those stock brakes fading and the base suspension.

So, what you end up doing is comparing the base weight of a stripper model to a much more capable base model Camaro. A Mustang with no track pack and the tiny all season tires will not beat a stock SS on the track.

It's pretty simple.
