if you like the Mustang, I would consider it, but absolutely DO NOT count the Camaro out of the race.

Im buying the car that offers the most driver feedback/dynamics, not for straight line goodness.

can you either confirm or deny that the steering feel will be fixed by 2011?

I cant confirm or deny anything, because i dont know anything...

I think that engine is being featured in a classic hot rod type vehicle

We cannot confirm or deny that about steering feel, or any other guesses as to what may happen in 2011. All I can accurately say is that there is a good chance that something could be offered which may help improve one or more aspects of performance, presumably as a reaction to the assumed performance levels of the 2011 Mustang. The general nature of this which may be offered is known to few outside of GM and specific details are rarer still. So those who know the answer to your specific question would never be allowed to actually answer it. Because of that, any answers you may hear are most likely speculation and probably a lie.

So I could simply say 'yes' in order to misinform you (and everyone) there are two problems with that. After all, I said any answers are most likely a lie, so a 'yes' would mean the actual answer is 'no'. But I could have said that intentionally in order to hide the truth in plain sight. However, I might be clever enough to know you might think thats my intention so my attempt at deception is really a deception in itself, thus reverting my actual answer back to 'no'. But if I know that you know I am that clever ... you get the picture. And all that would assume that I actually know the truth, if I were to give an answer, which I'm not. I just presented what I could say. In reality, I am not commenting on steering feel will be affected. I just had half an hour to kill and figured I'd try and confuse the hell out of you and merely flipped a coin as to whether I'd say 'yes' or 'no' in the first line of this paragraph.
