There were no tests in 2010 that the Mustang even came close to the Camaro, the reverse is not true.

I agree with you here mostly, but you're not completely correct. The '10 GT out handled the camaro in nearly every comparison. While it's not the subject of discussion here, a lot of auto magazines like to talk about handling, which is part of the reason camaros and mustangs have lost comparisons to european and asian imports in the past even when they walk all over them in a straight line. I'm not arguing with your point at all though.
EDIT:
I just found a video of said article's comparison...

I'm not so sure they did the 1/4 testing same place/same day. There is no drag strip at buttonwillow.
