Is it the handling? Yes,the Camaro will handle better,but if you're going that route,why not get a STI,it's also just as fast as a Camaro,and it wil outhandle it......because,well,when you look at the price.....and than compare it to the price of similar performers(Camarocoughcough).....it's hard to take to the Camaro seriously,because it can't fit a Dishwasher in the back like a STI could.
STi MSRP - 35k. no options, no leather, no electronics. 35k you get a shell.

305hp
0-60 in 4.8
Lat G's .9
1/4 mile ... 13.5

Camaro MSRP - 31k.

426hp
est. 0-60 in 4.6
est. .94 G's
est. 12's

not to mention the Sti may just be the stupidest looking car on the planet.


Edit. maybe you ment the new mustang...

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
