In a nutshell, I am able to take a new 5.0 and run 11's with one using tires/wheels and a tune.

My 2010 1SS would have resulted me digging into my pocket to the tune of $6K+ to get to the same point. The Mustang also is less expensive to start with.

If you are into road course work, the Mustang is the better performer there stock-for-stock as well.

Nothing against the Camaro, it just takes more $$$ to get to the same point with it.
The mustang isn't much faster around a road course. And it's honestly not much faster in a quarter mile. We are talking a few tenths of a second in both instances. Not sure what kinda 5.0 you have, but 11s on just a drag radial and tune? Your high. Maybe 11.999. Safe bet for a no mods 5.0 with radials and tune is gonna be about 12.2.

And what are you gonna put $6k in on the camaro to only do an 11.99? I think you are really exaggerating here...
