Based on the data we currently have available regarding the Camaro SS, the 2009 Mustang GT and the 2010 Mustang GT, it is quite easy to see that the Mustang has, indeed, narrowed the gap between the two cars. I never said it had closed the gap.
As for the percentage of people who would consider ride quality as a major factor in choosing between the Camaro and the Mustang, I would say that it is very small. Roughly the same percentage of buyers who really care if a vehice has an IRS or a SRA, as long as the prospective owner enjoys the overall feel of the car, IMHO.

Here is what a recent poll by Consumer Report's showed as the factors that matter most in their car buying decision, listed in order from most important to least important:

1 - Reliability / Dependability
2 – Exterior Styling
3 - Price / Cost to Buy
4 - Interior Comfort
5 - Value for the Money
6 - Fun to Drive
7 - Manufacturer’s Reputation
8 - Quality of Workmanship
9 - Engine Performance
10 - Road-holding / Handling
11 - Fuel Economy
12 - Storage & Cargo Capacity
13 - Ride Quality on Highway
14 - Durability / Long Lasting
15 - Safety Features
16 - Future Trade-In / Resale
17 - Length of Warranty
18 - Rebate / Incentive
19 - Discount / Value Package
20 - Environmentally Friendly Vehicle

really.
