A $23 grand manual LS with no options Camaro can pull more lateral G's with proper tires than the most expensive 2010 mustang you can buy.

top gear print media (magazine, not sure exactly what they call it) actually compared the GT500, SS and SRT8 recently. that said, while the camaro had the best ride, the GT500 was actually better in the turns. the 2010 mustang despite the solid rear axel has suprised many by its capablity to negotiate turns well. i remember that episode of top gear. i was suprised that they didn't clarify the difference between stated crank HP and horsepower to the wheels. given a standard loss, the dyno number equates to roughly 500 crank, even in that video, which is why i find top gear TV enjoyable for entertainment purposes mostly. their magazine/print media is actually more accurate when it comes to performance testing.
as to "churching" HP, the GT500 actually dyno'd at higher than normal loss. like stated upthread, its actually above 540 at the crank. here's a link to the Top Gear article that compares the 3 2010s:
