I don't think this is right. The 1LE and ZL1 versions out-handle the Mustang with their track biased setups, but the regular SS and LT were way off from the Mustang in the handling department. The Mustang V6 and GT produced more lateral-g by a fairly healthy margin over the V6 and SS Camaro. It is also better balanced, with the V6 and SS Camaros suffering rather severe understeer.
That was true when the 2011 mustangs came out with the coyote, but the camaro received a revised suspension in 2012 right after. The hot wheels version of the ss tested recently with 21" wheels performed much better than the early SS. That and every test I have seen tested a mustang GT equipped with a track pack vs the SS that had none at the time.

I believe a SS now is on pace if not out handles a GT.
