Ford Mustang GT VS Chevrolet Camaro Z28

[Roadster2]

well here it is everyone the biggest showdown for all comparisons the Mustang GT vs the Camaro Z28. well i like the mustang better and here is why

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

and MUSTANG IS THE BEST SELLER AND THATS WHY THE CAMARO IS GONE

#1, your gas mileage figures are off, LS1s have gotten up to 30 MPG on the highway. #2 rear leg room? glad you dont own an Fbody, and #3 you're forgetting the extra 70 RWTQ and 70 RWHP the LS1 cars have.

I think that if it came down to it and both cars where 6-speed, the camaro would take it. that 5.7Litre V8 is pretty damn powerful. but Im also biased towards GM cars...

The camaro just kills the gt the ls1 is definetevelly more powerful. A mach one would have more of a chance but that is quite above the standard GT.


Also the mustang is selling so well because of the V6(image car anyone)

Not only is the engine in the Camaro bigger and produces more power, its also have a lot more potential than the 4.6 from the GT. Hot Rod Magazine featured a 10 second LS1 F-body with the stock block and no forced induction. Some hot rodding school built the car, and it wasn't even all raced out.

And stock for stock? the average LS1 F-body with a decent driver runs low to mid 13's.... Although there has been few instances where high 12's have been ran with the spare tire, jack, and tools removed as the only mod.


The Mustang also sells better because Ford advertises it more. Not saying that advertising is bad.. Just wondering why GM didn't publicize the Camaro so much more..

Mustang sells better because it's cheaper...CHEAPER...CHEAPER CHEAPER!!!!!

Yea, the Mustang is a cheaper car than the Camaro/Firebird, and that's why it sells better, plain and simple

I thought that the GT and the Z28 cost about the same?? If I remember correctly... the difference in MSRP was only like 200 bones..

And how's the v6 Camaro cmpare with the v6 Stang?

Nope, the difference in 2002 was about $3000. Which changes the cost of insurance and the like.

They weren't THAT ugly. I admit, Camaros weren't the nicest cars, but either are Stangs. I think I would take the Camaro if I had a choice.

Tell me what car you think will get stomped??

[fatninja19]

And on top of what everything Scott just said.. the LS1 reacts to mods waaaaay better:spam:

Did anyone ever look at the power output and engine size comparison, sure the chevy has the bigger engine, but that ford is putting out a lot of power with that littler engine, think what would happen if they put a bigger engine in those mustangs (one the same size as the camaros), heck look at the new concept mustangs, not that I am bias one way or the other.
