Of course...the Camaro will still have that IRS advantage.....
yep. and by the time Ford tries to follow GM and give it the IRS, the Camaro will likely have a weight advantage on the 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."
