Consumer Reports? Consumer be-warned-that-an-SUV-can-tip-over-if-we-test-it-in-a-way-that-will-cause-a-rollover Reports?

Maybe for a test of blenders or washing machines, but not Mustangs and Camaro's.

You guys at AutoSpies should be ashamed.

I wouldn't buy into Consumer Reports' test on anything. The only thing that separates the Camaro and the Mustang is brand loyalty or preference for one styling or the other. Performance-wise they will be identical. I sat in the Camaro and rowed through the gears and the shifter felt like a rifle bolt to me. I haven't been able to compare the Mustang as yet. In due time though.
