the question asked is ...ford is trailing as of right now in the speed, handling(not the same as feel), quarter mile, and track times...THIS IS FACTUAL BASED ON THE COMPARISONS OF MOTOR TREND AND EDMUNDS...
while the mustang trails by very little... it still does
now... after the 5.0 liter is introduced will any of that change...

I don't think so. I think this future "5.0" Mustang will be a mini-GT500.
Meaning heavier, but more powerful with slightly better handling than a current GT model.
The current car is 3570lbs with 315hp. IF...IF it gets all the way to 400hp, then I'm going to predict a 3650-3750lb car...which will effect it's handling slightly.
On the flip side, I also think Chevy will continue to dial in the Camaro. It's chassis/suspension has a LOT of potential...they just need to tap it.

Yes it is. It's still slower in the slalom, slower round MotorTrend's figure-eight, and slower to stop (in half the tests). Those are just the numbers -- factor in the driving characteristics, and they all found that the Camaro seemed more forgiving to drive. All things considered, like CaptainSam said, it's only behind by a little bit. And coming from a Camaro 'fanboy' -- that's too close for comfort.
