It's a link to a PDF that shows test results for a Mustang/GTO face off published Jan 05. When you open it, the chart is pretty small. Don't know why they posted all the charts in separate PDFs. Do you have Adobe reader on your computer? If not, you can download a free version from Adobe's website that allows you to look at PDF files.

That's about all the comparable info from the two articles. C&D measured 70-0 braking for the GTO while R&T measured 60-0 and 80-0 for the Crossfire. But based on my personal experience, the SRT6 brakes are FAR better in every way than the brakes in the GTO probably due in part to the fact that they are managing 600 lbs less weight. The slalom times don't surprise me as the GTO was a 4 seat porker and was tuned for a softer ride.
And I know, two different days, two different tracks, two different drivers, but the cars are about as evenly matched in acceleration as you can get for two production cars.
