The Mustang becomes more appealing to me as each day passes. I like the new Camaro, but I am going to buy the best overall package. I am really interested as to the 2011 specifications of the Mustang. Ford may have a real winner here.

For 2011 it will not be pretty for Camaro unless they make some adjustments to the suspension.
I am pretty sure the reviews I mentioned were all about the 2010 Mustang. I am pretty sure all of them had a Mustang with the new front end in each review.

I was talking overall. The awesome LS3 always out quartermiles the Mustang, but overall - handling, fun to drive, interior, etc, the Mustang seems to come out top in most of the reviews I've read.

The point I'm trying to make is, adding 60-80 hp to the Mustang, will certainly not weaken it's position.

I think 0-60mph is pretty useless.

My 2005 Grand Prix could probably almost 0-60mph as fast as my Camaro if I put street tires on it.

3600 stall, 3.73 gears, ~ 380-400rwhp and street tires = blowing the tires off and just sitting there. While my Grand Prix will just chirp and Go.

Of course I'm talking about WOT and not rolling into the throttle like I have to do on street tires; but that isn't going to give you the true capability on 0-60 if you have to roll into the throttle...

All in all I don't even care, I look forward to some more cars around that can play.

I think the best test any of them could do would be to put some 15" wheels on with ET Streets, dead hook the SOB and run a 1/4mile. Even if you don't dead hook the MPH will still stay about the same and give a good indication of power to weight.

I said this and was made fun of. a new camaro trapping 110 mph pulling a good 60' should run at least a mid 12. I went 12.6 @ 106 with a high 1.7x 60'.
