LOL!!! Thats funny, I am no Gm fanboy, and your post is still wrong. Just because the camaro has an IRS does not mean it should handle far better than the 2011 mustang. The camaro IRS does mean on on surfaces that are not butter smooth, you can put the power down easier without worrying about it haveing the tendancy to hop around as with a SRA. But the way the camaro suspension is set, it is baised towards comfort than road course handleing and has the tendancy towards understeer. Also though I hate using mag rag test as some sort of ultimate proof which they are not. Road and Track has already done a comparison test at the track between the camaro and the 5.0 mustang. The lap times were only seperated by .1 of a second. They are about the same in performace. The Camaro has a better powerband and more low in torque out of the corners, while the mustang has quicker corner speed. Also out of curiosity what makes you think the camaro SS will not get any suspension bits from the z/28?? its a no brainer. I await your non bias and totaly objectional opinion.
You make absolutely zero sense. Why shouldn't an IRS perform better in EVERY aspect then a SRA? It's an IRS. "Butter smooth" is that a new term for road surface testing? No road is butter smooth. And on road's that aren't exactly smooth the Mustang doesn't tend to "Hop" around. In fact it hooks relatively well. So the Camaro is set for comfort? That's why it doesn't handle as good? Got it.
They are not about the same in performance. The Camaro isn't as fast around a track. Why would the Camaro Z28 share some suspension bits with the lower end SS? That's defeating part of the purpose of the Z28. Will the 2012 SS have a revised suspension yup. Will it share it's components with the Z28 no.

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.

When did the 2010 Camaro out handle the 2010 Mustang? The Camaro did beat it in acceleration, braking and the 1/4. The gap isn't large at all. I never said it was, BUT A tenth of a second is losing. Of course there is more that effects performance then the rear suspension. Your generalizing about proven numbers. The cars are NOT the same in performance. I don't know why you responded to me. Your post's are full of opinion and you're generalizing the cars in terms of performance. I'm here to talk about the Camaro and it's competition with numbers. What are you here for?
