What I think is comical is that the Mustang gained weight (the 87lbs is for the GT with the manual) and with GM switching the Camaro over to the ATS platform, it's set to lose significant weight. So we may end up with the Camaro actually weighing LESS than the new Mustang.

I'm sure GM is watching this while they're developing the new car. If the Camaro with the V8 uses the LT1, it should make about 445 - 450hp (must protect the Stingray) and it comes in around 3,600lbs it'll be a pretty quick car. Most articles I've read had the ATS as having the best chassis of any of the cars tested, so there is a stellar basis to start from.

Still, I'm not feeling the new Mustang. I think it looks too much like what a Honda Accord coupe would look like if it were RWD.
