See, I'm not sure about this. My thinking is it is like putting a person on a horse. If one horse weighs 1200 lbs and one weighs 1000, adding a 120 lb person is only a 10% increase to what the big one's used to, while on the smaller animal the 120lbs is a greater percentage of his body weight and should affect him differently. If the area under the curve of the Camaro is greater than that of the Mustang, an additional person would affect the Camaro less.
If I'm right about the curve thing, this would be an argument in favor of the Camaro as a better street car.
