Now that doesn't necessarily equate into an overall good handling car but my point was it's a lot of car for around 30K and shouldn't be dismissed as primitive.
BTW, the Camaro will most likely take well to mods if gains on G8 and GTO's with simple bolt ons and tunes is any indication.

Though you somewhat stated it, you can not give a conclusion in how a car handles from simple statistics as skidpad and initial braking distances.
Throw some sticky rubber and quality brake pads in many of todays cars and it will yield a few good statistics that might "wow" a reader who isn't that knowledgeable.
Unless Ford changes the entire suspension, a mustang will always feel like mustang, even with some nicer rubber and upgraded brake pads. (My brother has one and I have driven it for hundreds of miles).
I don't understand why some people feel that if they gather 0-60, skidpad, and braking distances, they know everything about how the car performs (not directing this at you or anyone in particular)
It can be indicative at most.
