Bigger Wheelbase but not by much 101.3 vs 101.1
More Rear Leg Room 29.9 vs 26.9 Better Gas Mileage 18/26 vs 18/25] PFFT who buys a muscle car for gas mileage, wheelbase, and leg room? you gotta be kidding *and that gas mileage is a HUGE diff. by the way...

I'm a mustang guy but I will admit that the mustang gt will get beat by the Z28. It isn't a fair comparison in performance though. The fairest comparison would be the 305 hp Mach 1 versus the 310 hp Camaro Z28.

sorry, the stangs are way more expensive..
You're paying for the mid life crisis, middle aged white guy car yeah the lt1s do have more down low hp. it's basically an iron block vs. aluminum block dilemma. For all the f-body haters. This car got a bad wrap due to the 3rd gen. cars. 82-92. Those were horribly built. But if you look for reviews for 4th gens. You'll see they're built really well, and got excellent marks from consumer reports. Except for the cheap looking interior. But I'll take that if my car will be reliable. Also, my 99 v6 cammy has 65k miles on it, not one problem with it! |

in response to dolla bill, the engine in the v8 is bigger. But the displacement is the same. Basically meaning, the size doesn't matter

actually the 4th gens chassis is weaker then teh 3rd gens. not to mention the better handling of the 3rd gens. the only thing the 4ths have on the 85-92 TPI cars is LT1 and LS1 power and the simple fact that they are more up to date in styling since they are newer.
the new LS1s are pretty under rated to. 325 or 335 they are rated at, most put out 300-320 at the wheels outta the show room. and they take to mods extremely well. ls1 is very well designed engine, and its also nice to beable to take a gen III 6.0L block, punch it out and have a 427 small block Ls1. its also nice that GM can get 406 N/A hp outta a z06 and ford cant break the 400hp mark with a blower.

1BAD305, Ford is actually pumping out 430+ hp out of the supercharged 4.6 liter engine. The cobra is dynoing at about 375rwhp/375rwtq. With a 15% drivetrain loss, the cobra is actually pumping over 430 horsepower and 430 torque. That is more than the ls6 produces! I've noticed that all you can say about the mustang is that the cobra has a blower and the camaro/corvette doesn't. Why aren't you saying stuff about porsche. After all, they use twin-turbos. Please quit saying how crappy the cobra is because of its supercharger. There are plenty of companies that use superchargers on their cars!

i think the reason the "they just put a blower on it" comment comes up so much is just an excuse. for me i say it in a way kind of disappointed because if ford put their brains into it they could make a really nice motor that produces that hp.
all through the 80s/early 90s fords 302 whipped the 305, then the 350 came out making 275hp/285hp in 96/97 while fords 351 makes 300hp in the cobra r... but why does it have to be so expensive that they start dropping 4.6s (SMALLER MOTORS) in the stangs. true the new 5.7 like i have will make 360 or so stock (it varies) but at the same time the 5.4 cobra r will make 385. they need to make the motors more cost efficient they'd be on top of their game

Ford's biggest problem: 4.6 liters. Simply put, that is just weak.

I guess this comparo is only based about performance and horsepowers right? Because if not, the Mustang would be the winner, is so much better looking, nice interior with the quality Chevrolet doesnīt has and is more confortable, and come on, I know Camaro is a little faster, but is that a main fact at the time of buying? Ask people who own way more Mustangs than Camaros, or even both

I personally do not own a cobra. But ask anyone who does and they will tell you that the horsepower was underrated by Ford!

Ford is at least making an attempt to move forward with technology instead of just using the same stuff from the 60's.
The '03 Mach 1 has an NA 4.6 liter engine and does the quarter in 13.1. That is faster than a regular Z28 and about even with an SS. Why should a car(Mach 1) with over 1 liter less displacement and is heavier hang with these lighter cars with larger displacement engines(Z28,SS)?
