CHEVY VS. FORD THE SAGA CONTINUES

Unit is right about the weight, and that the F body has only beaten the mustang in the most recent years. But even with the weight thing, look at the gearing. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know they have a lot more in their rear than the mustang (mustang still comes with 3.08, the maro is higher 3).

The quality thing is my biggest problem with GM. Recently, one of my friends went to a car show and GM was bragging about how they got 350 horses out of their 350cu/in crate (read: performance) engine, WHOOPDIE F*CKING DOO!. The Ford 351 crate makes 385hp, 35 more, and I don't think that its coming from that extra 1 cubic inch.

The reason that the camaro is faster as of late, is an attempt by GM to win back buyers. The company has had numerous problems in the past 15 years, and the biggest reason that they are still around is that they sell a LARGE portion of their products to fleet buyers: governments, rental companies, and large corporations. There was a very good article a couple months ago in Car and Driver by one of the editors talking about GM quality, he made some very good points, mainly pointin out that people are embarresd to drive the low quality products.

GM is having lots of trouble, and is smply trying to get their act together.
