V6 HOLY HELL....
They really outdid themselves on that .. next up..reading the GT

... 12.8@110... I'm impressed.... thats a Motor Trend quarter mile....
You can bank it being a bit lower in the hands of some great drivers at a prepped track

If MT got those... I can't WAIT to see what others do.

Awesome! It looks like its ride and handling have improved noticeably over the 2010, too, and that's definitely saying a lot!

"Not to overstate things, but the four-wheel independently sprung Camaro felt prehistoric compared to the lighter and more sprightly Mustang. Actually, the Camaro's ponderousness helped it out on Ford's track, as it was a second gear affair (meaning nothing but quick turns and big braking zones), but even on the broken asphalt the cars were running over, we much preferred the Mustang's moves and prowess to the frankly clunky, chunky Camaro. Also, your author is about 5'11" standing up straight, 5'10" otherwise. By no means tall. Yet while wearing a helmet in the Camaro, yours truly was tall enough to get caught against the Chevy's roof, which prevented proper visibility while turning. No such problems in the more spacious Ford, and further proof that the 2011 Mustang V6 is the more serious sports car, if not just a plain better car." -Autoblog

Oh, man, that's great!
