If Ford didn't have the PP2, the sure...that's all we would have to compare. But that's not the case.
As for the GT, even GM knows it doesn't match up with the SS....which is why they are talking about making one to compete with sales.
"Chevy product head Mark Reuss said yesterday that the automaker is considering a cheaper, stripped-out Camaro SS to better compete with the Mustang GT."

Chevy needs a cheaper camaro with all season tires so they can snag more year round sales. Anyone currently interested in a camaro in the frozen tundra will immediately have to buy a new set of wheels and tires just to be able to drive the car home. |
The PP2 is a newly fangled thing tho. It has been GT to SS and then PP1 to SS 1LE all this time. Now all of a sudden the PP2 gets advertised and the PP1 is no longer a valid comparison to the 1LE because it got smoked? I don't see it that way. That's like saying the GT isn't the match for the SS because the GT got smoked. What happened was the PP1 got destroyed by the SS 1LE so Ford had to make a PP2 that would perform better. That does not make the PP1 any less of a natural competitor to the SS 1LE. It just means it got smoked and now you need something better.

And that is the reason it underperforms...or performs well enough for women. They love Mustangs. And the Mustang is on a girly level of performance. Now if they liked Mustangs and the Mustang had a suspension like the Camaro and the performance capabilities of the Camaro then fine. But they are mainly posers who want a Mustang because they're in their "badass" phase which lasts like 2 years tops yet they don't want the harsh ride that comes with a stiff chassis made to perform because they want something that rides nice and comfy and they're scared by anything more than 300 something hp and the steering can't be too tight and they want it to be roomy and fuel efficient and have a lot of trunk space to store all the worthless shit they pile into their cars (get it?).
