If the area under the curve of the Camaro is greater than that of the Mustang, an additional person would affect the Camaro less.
If I'm right about the curve thing, this would be an argument in favor of the Camaro as a better street car.

maybe if both cars had the same rear end and transmission gearing then your argument might hold water. The LS3 would have a very slight advantage. The gearing differences completely negates the argument though since the Mustang "sees" more tq at the wheels when you factor in the rest of the equation (gearing).
