The old-aged, ugly Mustang beats out the other 2 in a C&D comparo:

They said it has the best handling and steering feel out of the 3.

Is this the same magazine that chose the Mustang GT over the GTO because of the "got to have it factor"?

Yeah, C&D sucks.
I can see how the Mustang feels lighter and tighter around corners, but I doubt it can beat the Camaro in a straight up performance camparison.
It'll be interesting to see the Mustang w/ the Coyote engine vs. the Camaro SS.

I don't get it. Most of us on here picked an S2000 for various reasons when there were other cars out there that beat it in the speed category. We talk about how it handles and its fun to drive, yada yada. So now when a bunch of people drive all three and pick the Mustang as the winner, its somehow a rag?

NONE of the three cars are on my list of desired vehicles, but it does not shock me that the car that is still quick and the lightest of the three by hundreds of pounds is the winner.

I don't find it surprising at all.

I wonder which one would post the fastest lap time? The Mustang appears to have a handling advantage so a tight course would favor it but a longer course would probably have the Camaro beating everything.

The Mustang still appeals to me most. Love that monster motor in the Camaro but ultimately, I'd prefer a lighter, better balanced car, even if it is slower.

I'm with vader1 on this one, I guess.
