There should be a 1SS on this list, at the top or just below the GT. A Kia makes it but not a Camaro V6???? WTF!

They clearly suck at driving. Those times are high for a 5.0 too.

Yeah, but if you don't account for roll-out (not sure if they do or not) a 4.8 is a pretty reasonable time on the new Mustang. Either way, a comparable time in a V6 Camaro would be about 6.1s. Plus, it should be far easier for a novice to get a good time out of the heavier, less powerful, less torquey Camaro.

So, when choosing the $30k cutoff, the Camaro is not eligible, but the Mustang is.
And the Brembo's are only on the front. Saw one last month, looks a little silly.
