Stock vs stock is very important though in the minds of the magazine readers. Obviously it's a drivers race, however bias cannot mask numbers as in this case the Camaro won by a hair. I remember the Mustang beat the Camaro in all categories other than actual speed and times which gave it an edge to the writers. They all said the Mustang has a better interior, better feel to it, etc..So it was rated higher and won last years shootout. This year it should be no different in the comfort category but I am surprised at the very similar times in the 0-60 category. It seems the stock GT should be hitting 4.5 0-60 based on the lesser weight.
Overall I am glad to see Ford still churning out cars American's want to buy. I am hoping Government run GM doesn't mess up the sixth gen Camaro.
