I agree. I think the two will be damn near tied in acceleration. I think the advantage that Camaro may hold on to is overall handling and driving dynamics, even with the upgrades to the Mustang suspension but I expect that gap to close also.

But I see Camaro getting the 10 speed also for model year 2019. It won't make much of a difference over the 8 speed, but it will help somewhat. Maybe squeeze out another 10th or two in the 1/4 mile and 0-60MPH.
