Mustang vs Camaro

I previously owned a 2010 Camaro SS and belonged to the Camaro 5 forum. I check in once in a while. I traded it for a 2012 GT and never looked back. On the Camaro forum title Camaro VS particularly vs Mustang
there are many posts titled what do I have to do to beat a 5.0
they are spending thousands to accomplish this, gear changes, tunes,exhaust,blowers the only thing to show for all this is a statement
"well the Camaro is better looking" and has an IRS I don't race , those days are over, but I still have that feeling.
Very happy with my GT

I make those guys race me. Lol. I'll pull about one car ahead of them on the hwy (closed circuit of course ) and just wait for it. They can't resist.
