It won't be out handling it unless it loses a lot of weight in combination with a stiffer suspension which will compromise ride quality just a bit. It'll be one or the other. The second one more or less. Far better was in response to the others posters post. And you know what as long as you bring that up...yes it should. GM set out to build the better car and they missed the mark.
Far better then the M3 for half the price? No not far better then the M3. but as good as the M3 for half the price...certainly. Ford did it with a SRA. When it can out handle the Mustang then GM can start looking at an M3 for competition. Why shouldn't it out handle and turn in better times with a system more advantageous in this area of performance versus against one that isn't?
GM had their priorities slightly skewed when developing this car. They figured the advantage in ride quality would be matched in the advantage in handling against the Mustang. However Ford didn't sit still and as a result the system that could of been better overall, really only proved to be marginally better in an area that isn't most desirable in a performance car.
The Manual cars are almost identical in a drag race. The L99 get's walked even by a auto GT.
The Mustang is GREAT. The M3 is even better. You and a few other Camaro guys don't seem to understand that the Camaro isn't as good as you perceive it to be. Brand loyalty issues. Problem is you will never admit Ford did a better job with a system that really should not be better.

Wow, what else needs to be said, there is so much fail in that post I am not going to even try to respond to all of it. A. The camaro was aimed at beating the 2010 mustang (which it did) and ford responded for 2011, chevy will probaly do the same for 2012. The mustang is a great car now (Finaly) What I would point out is that the gap is not as large as you are claiming to be, also have you forgotten already that it is not just what type of rear suspension is used that affect the performance of the car like I said in my previous posts?? They are about the same when all is said and done. You know what, why am I even responding to your, I am starting to think you are just Trolling, If you are just on a this site dedicated to the camaro just to argure that "My car is Better than Your car" then you should not be here. Go to a mustang forum.
