Most of my cars have been high reving boosted cars. I don't lug them and have never owned an automatic.That's because the Camaro doesn't have a an actual power band..
Sounds like you like to lug your car, or not use to using half the powerband to get around town. They way you describe/critique makes me wonder why you don't just get an automatic.
Subsequently, if you were on a technical track... you would notice the difference between the two engines matted to their transmissions.
Drive the cars back to back and come back and talk torque. The LT1 makes more torque and it is very noticeable when you drive the cars back to back. It's a 6.2L engine vs a 5.0. On the flip side, I liked how the Mustang keeps pulling after 5K rpm.
Their are pros and cons to both cars, the Camaro has more torque and is a better handling car, the Mustang is more comfortable and has better design and is more functional.
Some people place more empahsis on driving dynamics than others. Whether you track the car or not you can notice those driving dynamics just driving the two cars back to back on a good back road.
So I don't buy that the Camaro is only better at the track at the limits, people need to get out and actually drive the car. I am still torn between Mustang and Camaro. I would love to drive a PP2 Mustang just to compare (drove an 18 PP1) but I don't see any dealers near me with PP2's on the lot and they simply may not order many and it may strictly be a custom order type of car.
