They are on par. Neither one beats the other hands down in all areas though I concede all things considered the mustang is the overall winner for a measly $20k more.

The broader power band is a gimmick. Sorry. When it's time to drive fast your engine lives in a 2500rpm range between gears.... or do you shift early and often so you can get some of those good torque numbers from the lower rev range into your drag race, or lay down some of that good 4000rpm torque at the apex of the corner?

I'm not saying it's a bad car, but the hype over this engine is just hot air. Being unique, or special to someone, does not make it any better. It doesn't make the car perform any better than it's OHV competition. Different, yes, better, no.

Name one place this engine gives a clear performance benefit to the mustang. One place where you can say "man if the camaro had an fpc it could do this so much better!"

You can't say it performs on par with an SS and then ask what the 0-60, 0-100, and lap times are. What are you basing your statement on?
