Your explanation is why i thought the camaro won. The track looked like it was designed where entry and exit was more important than midcorner speeds on this "particular track" It wasn't that it was curvy that gave the camaro the advantage, it was more like the type of curve. I know the mustang has "the advantage on many types of tracks. But Willow just looked like on film like IRS would have an advantage on that track.

I was specific in saying IRS had an advantage on "THAT" track, but you went and jumped the gun thinking I was generalizing. FANBOY REACTION!!!

Oh you're right about the camaro having a better shock and tire set-up and that is the GENERAL advantage on the camaro. Live axle is the general advantage of the mustang being a track car...

Sorry i didn't explain what i mean, when i said it's very curvy, maybe i should have elaborated but... Damn.
Ok, now I'm confused.

You said, "Willow is very curvy. IRS will have the advantage."

I took that as, "IRS will have the advantage because Willow is very curvy."

I just wanted to know exactly WHY you feel like IRS would have the advantage on this particular track aside from just a generalization. I pointed out that I didn't think IRS/SRA made much of a difference regardless of track given how both have inherent advantages/disadvantages. I believe it's more tire/shock related than anything else.

Wasn't meant to be a big scene.

It was a joke. I sold my Mustang last weekend and we have a history of fighting.

Impressive performance from the Camaro.

Still not a fan of the looks tho'. Sure wish they'd bring back the Firebird

I was looking for a SRT8 comparo when i found this
2012 Boss 302 vs. 2010 Camaro SS on Road Course - AmericanMuscle.com - YouTube

and this...

The final review. He hits it on the head with the mustang. You feel like you're sitting on it instead of in it. SEATING position has always been the biggest deal breaker for me.

Well if you just look at the comments from the video (from the pro driver) the difference was the shocks and the difference in grip from the tires. Pobst addressed the SRA issue and didn't mention it when talking about why the Camaro was faster.
