While the numbers favor the Camaro...it's best not to count the chickens before they hatch.

Given MT's predisposition to GM, even if the Mustang bests the Camaro in some metrics they will still pick the Camaro

That's a bold statement. I have always felt MT has been fair in their assessments.

They definitely favor European cars. Not sure they have ever favored GM over other domestics.

So even if the Mustang wins in some metrics and the Camaro wins in most metrics shouldn't the win go to the Camaro anyway?

Can't wait to see the comparisons... Almost jumped into a 15 gt pp. I'm sure I made the best choice by waiting for the maro.

No no that's not what I meant.

"Thee Mustang brakes faster and smoother but the Camaro gets the win because we feel it fits the car better"

Or something like that.

Oh ok so you mean they will tip the hat to the Camaro in each category. I don't really keep up with the mags so I'm not aware of any bias, but the numbers don't lie and that's what I'm interested in seeing not some prissy opinion.

Basically what happened to the ATS-V. I read opinions but make decisions on stats. I've always hated when they mention "feel".

The big debacle around the ZL1/GT500 tests put a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of people towards MT.

And then they went and reversed their feelings about the ZL1 when it was against the Hellcat. Exactly why I could care less about their opinions.

Basically the, GT500 beat the Zl1 in every performance metric except for braking and around the track by a bit from what I remember, And the rag said the gt500 felt scary and out of control and the zl1 felt like the better street car. While that is probably pretty accurate description of the cars, they should have given the gt500 more credit than they did.
