Overall, its styling looks poor compared to the GT's array of textures and better styling. And that steering wheel?? Ick.

Performance is basically identical, skidpad, figure-8 times, acceleration times (0-60 and 1/4 mile), except the GT trapped slightly more mph, not surprising given its slight hp advantage. The Mustang's handling isn't as good feeling, but it's good enough to be just as fast as the SS, despite inspiring less confidence in the driver.

Most of the reasons given in the article of why the Mustang won this match-up are many of the reasons I chose Mustang over Camaro last year.

That comment about tourists in LA driving convertible Camaros with luggage on their laps is hilarious.
Sorry guy but that is your opinion, look at the recent throttle house video of the pp2 vs 1le and they preferred the Camaros interior. I prefer the Camaro's looks and interiors over the mustangs, as well as shift forks that don't snap, that's why I chose the Camaro, granted I have an 18' which I prefer over the 19's. To each their own, but interior and exterior styling are subjective comparisons and prospective buyers will have their preferences.

This was a pp1 GT and the instrumented performance numbers were identical to the ss which is respectable and great news for manual GT guys. However which one was the superior sports car was clearly stated.
