When it comes to Domestic cars that focus on handling and straightline acceleration it is GM>Ford. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that ford is FINALLY getting away from the "thats good enough" mindset, But in all honesty you really described the mustang demographic.
My argument in two short phrases....

1: The fifth generation Camaro is arguably the most popular and best received f-body in many, many years

2: As of right now the fifth generation Camaro has one suspension setup, and that setup says lounge lizard a lot louder than it says sports car.

There is nothing wrong with that, it works and given the popularity of the car it seems the fan base approves. However, that makes it very difficult to make a case for the notion that the typical Camaro enthusiast is overly concerned with razor sharp reflexes. And perhaps that was the problem prior to this model, GM was focused on things like offering a 1LE package when what Camaro buyers really wanted was just a comfortable, good looking car with a lot of power.
