Well,i've owned both a Mustang and a Camaro and i grew up with a Firebird and i'd say i'm pretty unbiased. Since the '80s,both cars have been so close in performance that it's basically up to a person's personal preference,no car has ever dominated in all areas. For example,a '94 GT down 60HP on a '94 Z28 was very,very close in times on a road course test from a old Car and Driver and so on and so on. I could get an art table in the back of my Camaro,but i could actually see the front of my Mustang when parking.
The new Camaro will have the advantage in Handling and acceleration,yet with the lighter weight and hopefully,Bullitt 3.73 gears,the lowered HP GT will probably be as fun to drive as the SS. That's what i'm into,the sounds,the feel,which is more fun. A '02 Z28 was faster than my '04 GT,but i liked the smaller,airier feel of my car. Look at the Challenger R/T,superior power,yet its getting dull reviews because of the power to weight ratio,it apparently doesn't FEEL fast,i've yet to drive one so the jury is still out,it's just what i've read and heard,i read the same about the GT500,Autoweek said it didn't FEEL like 500HP.
I'm excited to try out both cars next spring. Both will have high and low points,these cars are FAST.....once you get into the 320+HP range,there are no losers,these are great times to be a pony car fan. If the new '10 is actually the Bullitt,it would be awesome.
