The Muscle Mustangs and Fast Ford's magazine article back then about this same thing was hilarious. They couldn't fathom how they were getting high 12s out of the Camaro whilst the turd GT was barely rubbing out mid 14s or some nonsense.
It ended up being more of a fluff piece on the Chevy with them ending it by begging Ford to do something about it and stop saddling them with anemic crap under the GT hood.
Ford finally decided to respond over a decade later in 2011.....

They were giving them away, one of my college friends got one, he could afford it while flipping burgers..
Yea I heard you could buy them with burgers.......
As a daily driver not much interested in going over the speed limit, I love the understated 2014 Chevy SS from Holden and also the 2014 Mustang for mainly City driving .. The Camaro Z28 of years ago was low with long overhangs but it never caught my fancy , for some reason . The Mustang , then had a neat growl to it and was shorter and felt it was sportier , to me , anyway .

The 2003 Mach 1 was competitive; however, the 2003 Cobra finally bested the Camaro's performance. Granted, the Camaro was out of production by model year 2003, but nonetheless, the "Terminator" was finally able to beat the LS1-powered fbody.

I really liked the 1998 SVT Cobra. Almost bought one. The '95-98 style Mustang looks much better, tighter and leaner, than the 1999 restyle. Style wise I take the 5th gen F-bodies over the '99-04 Mustang every day.
But yeah, Mustang has always been a little weaker power wise than Camaro. And that's in ALL trims, comparing apples to apples.
Even in the dark ages of cars, the early 80s when both had anemic 4 bangers as standard equipment, the Camaro's Iron Duke had more torque than whatever the F Ford was building at the time. Both engines were still sorry excuses for internal combustion engines, but at least on a good day a Camaro or Firebird could merge on to traffic.

That poorly designed cup holder in the Mustang brought me back to my equally poorly designed cup holder in my 1994 Grand Prix GTP. It was so shallow that you'd have to hold onto the drink even in the slightest corner or lightly braking. Glad we don't seem to see major mistakes like that too often anymore; well, except for BMW http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f38/bmw-i3-has-serious-design-defect-182657/

I wouldn't mind having a 1999 Mustang Cobra, I liked that body style and the Cobra had an IRS system....
