Croke and Edwards unhappy with parity, implying a two-tiered championship:

We had moments of being the best we could be, in terms of the Fords, including the last race where both cars ran strongly.

We did pretty well in the Mustang Cup. But we've got a bit of work to do.

Percat and Reynolds unhappy with parity:

From my seat it feels like third, fourth, fifth, sixth gear on the diff ratio that we have for Albert Park.
I don't know the numbers but it feels like they have quite a bit more torque than us, and a bit more drivability.
Ford has been working really hard in the background to make that better, so I think there are some improvements to come for drivability and mapping, which we couldn't get in the cars for this weekend.

In Newcastle we were all talking about the engine performance of those vehicles. I hinted that they started to pull away in fourth, fifth, sixth gear, even if you're only in [those gears] a little bit.
In Newcastle I was trying to pass [James] Golding and [Broc] Feeney and they would pull half a car length. It's not much there, but then when you go to a big track it looks so much worse.
There are obviously issues there, which I hope the category will sort out.
This weekend the podium was stacked with Camaros. Not one Ford has crossed the line first yet. That's what you have to think about.
But these aren't fights I can fight, I'm just a driver who sees what he sees and comments on it. We relay that and [Supercars] can take it on board or not.

Meanwhile, Will Davison expects parity adjustments:

There’s a lot of very fast Camaros at the moment – it’s very difficult to race them at the moment for us – but I’m sure there’ll be a few changes there to help us out.

Are the Mustang and Camaro already 100% equal and 100% interchangeable and the Mustang runners are merely making unfounded & outrageous excuses for their poor performance?
Or are the vehicles not 100% equivalent?
