I am sure people who have run 12.5-12.7 in the camaro have hit 0-100 in around the same time as well. But I guess I didnt clarify in the first place...so nice find I guess.

But yeah I agree it would probably not run away. I was simply implying that it would be something for the test to be off by 2 seconds and that the car pulled even further ahead from the 0-100 time. At the very least the camaro would have the edge is what I was getting at.

But the more I think about it 1 test doesn't mean whole lot....hopefully we see some more 0-130 data in the future.
i was looking at the test numbers for c&D 0-130 test and it looks like the camaro is ahead on that test by .5 to 100mph (took them 11 seconds vs the 10.2 and 10.3 MT got), .7 to 110mph, .5 to 120mph (doesnt look like the camaro is pulling at all 100-120, then all of a sudden 1.8seconds to 130mph. I think it would be more believable that it pulled .8 to 130. seems they "accidentally" added one second to it. If thats the case, then its possible the camaro pulls 100-130mph faster by .3 seconds.

looking at the numbers:

Mustang 50-120: 12 seconds
Camaro 50-120: 11.9 seconds

Mustang 70-120: 9.7 seconds
Camaro 70-120: 9.6 seconds

Mustang 100-120: 4.8 seconds
Camaro 100-120: 4.8 seconds

looks like the C&D test was even closer than i thought even though the Mustang trapped noticeably slower than the Camaro in that test.
