AKA they even out and its no faster than the mustangs that got burned by the test camaros. You want to compare handling of a mustang? go rent a golf cart.

I'll chime in here and say I don't think the Camaro can handle with the Mustang GT, so long as that Mustang is equipped with the Track Package. (I'm throwing braking into the handling category here) IRS helps, but in this respect I think it will only make the heavier Camaro ride better than the GT, I don't beleive it will outhandle it.

As best as I can tell from the photos, and I worked with automotive interiors for a looong time, materials quality and fit and finish look to be a wash. between the two. I personally prefer the Mustang's more classic, refined interior to the Camaro's more retro-futuristic approach and I am inclined to beleive most consumers will as well, but we wont really know what public opinion is in that respect until the sales numbers come in. My only Mustang interior sore spot remains the lack of a telescoping steering column. Seat comfort will remain an unknown for both cars until butt hits hide for the first time.

The suspension wont change anymore for 2011 since the 2010 GT gets the same stuff the 400hp 2011 will. The brakes from the Track Package will be standard with the 5.0L powered 2011 model, but that shouldn't add much weight. Look for less than a 100lb increase for 2011.
