Why, I have no idea.

Well, maybe I do.

It may have something to do with shear volume of active Mustang sites vs. Camaro sites. Especially ones catering to the 5th gen. This site is is by far the largest Camaro forum on the internet catering to the 5th gen. I'm assuming moderncamaro is second, but it has a small fraction of the volume that camaro5 has. So this site is really the focus of the 5th gen, and everyone, friend or foe, gravitates here. The Mustang sites are more diverse, so there isn't a single "target" that everyone aims for.
I think you're right.

Plus, the 5th Gen is so new and we all got REALLY excited about it so there was a lot of buzz. And that coupled with the power numbers got the Mustang crowd on the defensive. Many of them just couldn't stand the horsepower difference and they had to 'educate' us on their cars.

This site is EASILY the one they all look to when wanting to defend their cars or come talk rivalry.
