Watch out Camaro.! The winner of most pony car comparos recently, the Ford Mustang, will roar into 2011 with a whole new set of powertrains. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/28/video-2011-ford-mustang-gt-shown-rollin-with-its-5-0/

But it's still going into a bloated 4000lb pig.

Camaro still has it beat.. HP, torque, mpg's.. Still no match for the LS3..

Mustang: Power-2-Weight (as a Lotus owner you should know that) and, IMHO looks go to the Mustang. Stang bested the Camaro and Challenger in road course/autocross work in recent car magazine review (with current V8 no less) as well.

If I were to own any of these cars, running a road coarse or auto x would be the last think I did with it! Kinda like having Rosanne Bar do ballet! The power to weight might be in the ford's favor, but I believe the broad hp and tq curve of the LS3 will make the Camaro a faster car.. I'm sure the mags will have a comparo soon. Not to mention a cam swap and headers will put the LS3's output to 550hp. The ford sohc in NA form just doesn't respond to bolt on mods as well. Glad ford did something though.. They were getting stomped on in the pony car war since 93 when the Camaro had the LT1 in it.
