What too bad about it? They know their market and the car is tailored to that demographic. While it may be true for a few, I don't think the "ride quality" ratings are going to be significant factor in whether or not someone chooses between the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT. It might, however, cause a lot of women who currently drive Mustangs to swing over to the Camaro.
I don't think anyone here is about to make an intelligent argument about the mustang Closing the gap on the SS.

And you think Drag capabilities have a higher relevance to the general public than ride quality?

Seriously?

How many people do you think would appreciate a higher ride quality? compare that to the amount of people who would ever seriously track the car, and you have the reason as to why this topic is not worth debating.

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."
