We already knew how this would go. GM knows how to actually put a suspension and some tire under a car. Ford knows how to perfect the SRA, but they have yet to figure IRS out, unless you count the Ford GT, which was recalled for breaking all 6 control arms, and turned VERY poor lap-times at every track it was tested on, given its power/weight.
Once again, the inevitable occurs, and the car with a modern suspension trumps the log-wagon. I was kicking mustang arse in my Trans Am back in the day of LS1's because the mustang just couldn't put even its little measly 260bhp (or 320 for the Cobra's) down. Ford didn't correct the problem back in '05 when I worked for a Ford dealer, and the cars hooked HORRIBLY.
I think the mustang is a great car, but can Ford PLEASE! stop shafting its customers with it's SRA which limits handling rougher/wavy pavement and forces them to use skinny tires because of lateral movement!? Put an IRS under the car, and it might just do what it should have been doing all along!
Until then, it's a killer pony-car. Lets evolve it, though!

So you don't think the extra >100 hp on the Camaro had anything to do with it? I'll go way out on a limb and say the GT500 will destroy the Camaro...... with the SRA.
