2012 Mustang V6 vs 2012 Camaro V6
The new Genesis Coupe is pretty mean and can get the mustang 6 in a straight line, I think it even won in the comparison against the v6 w/ track pack.. (don't hold me on this, there's a comparison on youtube)
Obviously the main drawback is that the Genesis is a bit pricier, really the only drawback. Like Ibnzmonkey said if you want a great v6 the Genesis is BUILT with the v6 in mind.
However you can get pretty close performance with the Mustang and probably save a couple grand. It also depends on your tastes/styling...etc.

First, everyone stop saying the v6 comes with a track pack option because it doesn't. There is no track pack option. It has a "performance pack" option which only includes better springs in the front,the Boss 302 strut tower brace & a larger sway bar as far as suspension goes and you get GT brakes and 19" wheels. Not even close to track ready when compared to cars that come with a legit "track pack" such as the 5.0 w/ track pack, a Boss, or I would even say the Genesis. What I was saying was if you take a v6 premium and add a full suspension yourself along with a few power mods you would out do the Genesis and come out paying less. Stock vs stock yes the Gensis is better but its still not a fair fight since we are not given the same kind of options.

There's no question the Mustang V6 is a price point/mpg car. Ford does a great job in that bracket. And Korea tries to beat those by a bit with cheap labor/subsidies.
As for pigeon-holing the Mustang line across the board - because someone chooses the price point/secretary's car - is stoopid.
