So how does the mustang win?

If I were to race the mustang at a drag strip...stock for stock with a camaro and beat it pretty badly, then go to an autocross track and beat it again, how does the mustang win?

Would the driver then come up and tell me I lost because he liked his interior better and prefers a 5 speed manual? Cause thats what Car and Driver did.

Moneyhat article.
/sigh, they didn't test them as 'which makes the best muscle car' they tested them as which car they liked better-period. They didn't give the Ford the win based on 1 category, they gave Ford the win based on the overall package of steering and handling and interior and they didn't feel that it was short on power. It's not the only test that said Mustangs were more fun to drive, and there have been a few tests that have come out sort of busting on the Camaros handling. And 6 speeds are not magically better than 5. The article is describing a forest- you are only seeing trees.
