Well we raced the Camaro and the 2011 GT Mustang today. The Camaro ran
10.54@134 and the all stock Mustang ran
13.05@111.9. The Camaro is a KB powered 6.2 L99 and the Mustang is N/A auto with 315 gears. The Mustang will definitely run mids 12's with just a gear swap, and 12.0x with a tune and cat back.
As for the window situation.. I too do not like all the blind spots. I have cut a few people off in the Camaro. I definitley have to double check before lane changes.
If I had to compare the Camaro to the older s197, Id say Camaro all the way.Buuuutt..The new 5.0 on the other hand is a more refined version of the s197. The interior of the Mustang is nicer, it handles considerably better, and the steering is quite bitchin.The steering is controlled via a electric pump .The steering effort never changes,its the same regardless of speed.
If decision is made on performance,Its gonna come down to choice, as both cars perform well. JMO. I too will not seperate from my Challenger.I just flat out love my SRT8.
