Default Re: 2011 Mustang GT first 11 second pass

I just read Car & Driver comparrison on '11 Mustang GT with 6-speed and 3.73's against 2010 Camaro SS w/ 6-speed and 3.42's.
The Mustang ran 13.20 @ 107 to Camaro which ran 13.0 @ 109.
The comments were the Camaro had bigger rear tires from the factory so that's why it was a little quicker.
So I read the tech sheet.
The Camaro 6-speed has a 3.02 low gear and the Mustang has a 3.66 low gear! Holly crap, why would that Mustang need such a dump truck gear?
The starting line ratio on the Camaro is 10.32 while the Mustang is 13.65 which is a good number for a drag car! Obviously that Mustang will be hard to hook on stock tires with that kind of multiplication factor. But I want one!

Also, they compared the 6-cylinder versions. The Camaro went 14.5 ET and the Mustang went 14.0 ET.
