All major automotive journalists disagree the Camaro handles better.

Stop trying to down-play the Camaro! Making Ford think they've got this one in the bag won't do us any good
My mistake. For some reason, I was thinking of the Challenger when I wrote that. So I suppose it could be said that the picture I posted was actually me... now that I'm not braindead, I remember that yes, the Camaro is only a few hundred pounds heavier.

If you don't count Road and Track, Motor Trend, Car and Driver or Automobile magazine, which all say the mustang is the superior handling car.

I believe jedikd is agreeing with you, he is just not one with the grammar.

You are seriously implying the 2002 Camaro handles better than the 2010 Camaro?

Have you driven either of them?

Did you even read what I wrote?

2002 Camaro vs 2010 Camaro

Reading is hard, I know

Nope not implying that. Not even close. What I responded to was jedi's post that, "all major magazines disagree the Camaro handles better." Which is different than, "All major magazines disagree with any assertion that the Camaro handles better."

The 2010 Camaro does indeed handle much better than the 2002 Camaro. It also handles better than a 1974 Coupe de Ville, 1971 matador and pretty much every year of Gremlin. I was just surprised because to me it appeared that someone was saying that the Camaro handled better than the 2011 mustang.

While I might agree that I could perhaps should have read each and every post before I responded to one, I think that my post was clearly a comment on the inferiority of the current Camaro's handling prowess when compared to the current mustang.
