Anywho, this whole SRA vs IRS debate is stupid. By design, IRS is a superior basis for handling, while SRA is a superior platform for traction on even surfaces. This is neither here nor there as these statements apply to a "perfect world" just like the idea that OHC is theoretically superior to OHV. It is completely dependent on the application and the execution of the design in said application. In the case in question, the mustang's SRA is executed better than any SRA to ever be used in a production vehicle, period. The IRS in the Camaro is about middle-ground when it comes to execution, but that's only because IRS is used in every other performance vehicle around. The two designs perform right on par with each other in their current platforms, with the mustang having a slight advantage because of it's weight. It honestly doesn't matter which basic design is better because the fact remains that these two cars (m6 vs m6) are insanely close and it will always come down to the driver.

Just chill dude, you know where you are and you should expect to see reactions like this (due to your longevity here). Quit running off your previous reputation - you might find doing that will cause your credibility to drop off quicker than if you had none to begin with.

This is the Mustang thread, and I do own a Mustang.. I still like the Camaro as well and enjoyed driving it when I did. A lot of the complaints or little problems I had are being worked on for the 2011 Camaro per what Hylton has pointed out. So everything is going well and the Camaro is improving as it should just like the Mustang has over the years. This 2011 was the biggest leap forward ever for the Mustang from one year to the next in terms of adding all sorts of features to it. The next couple years things should remain about the same until the Camaro surpasses the 2011 in speed and handling. Will that take the new platform as the car moves away from Zeta? Only time will tell.
I identify myself as both a Camaro and a Mustang enthusiast because I am. My criticism of the Camaro is purely because I care about it and want it to improve so that we all can benefit from those improvements later. When I write my review of the Camaro I drove for a year, it may sound like a bash fest and I will be called names, however I hope Fbodfather and Hylton as well as some others will read it and get an honest take on the car just as Number 3 did when they beta tested the pre-production for as long as they did. Since I am not brand loyal, I am able to enjoy the best that any car company can offer and defend its position in comparisons to whatever car company that competes in its class. The M3 may not be in the same class, but it is a great comparison nonetheless for handling and speed. That is why I am a muscle car fan.. I feel sorry for people who get all worked up about brand loyalty etc. So lets all take a deep breath and continue on this never ending discussion.
