3rd gen Mustang VS 3rd Gen Camaro

Z28boy1991 · #1 12-30-2003, 10:54 PM

What do u think has better performance or looks the 3rd gen Mustang (1982-1993) or the 3rd gen Camaro (1982-1992)? I think the 3rd gen Camaro is million times better looking and so much more powerful.. Yeah the mustang is light and the 5.0 5 speed can take off fast.. but com on the 5.0 over the 350 5.7 liter... i think 350 smokes the 5.0... trust me i have quite down many mustang drivers.... lol

Well most third gen camaros had 305's but still the camaro whoops the mustang. I hate when people put down the 305, I think it's an awsome motor. I'm putting 400hp to the pavement. But the camaro has always out ran the stang. We have bigger engines, better suspension, and better aerodinamics. Ford tries to take a box and make it go. Chevy takes a box, smooths out the corner and makes it really go. The only thing the stang has on the camaro is weight. And while it's a big factor on the track looking for 10ths of a second it's not going to play much factor on the street. Camaro all the way, they may not make them anymore but the camaro will never die. And for all them mustang dudes that say the camaro is dead, bring them my way. Sorry, I got carried away.

yeah man most 3rd gens did have the 305s.. and i think 305's are one of the best. I have the 350 5.7 which is another good engine as well.. but yeah camaro are sooo much better then mustang besides weight.. big deal its still more powerful and the 5.0 305 can kick the stangs 5.0 anyday.. i love camaro and always support it..

I beg to differ. Unless you have the TPI 305, i doubt the TBI could touch the 302 Mustangs. (IMO, the 302 Stangs were better). The TBI 305 makes an astounding 170 HP at the wheels. The 302 (1988+ Roller) makes 225 crank (minus 15%, someone do the math, im too lazy). Im also lookin to invest in a 302 Car. (1988 Lincoln Mark VII LSC) Power..performance...luxury...

The 305 had like 170 horsepower stock, 5.0 had 225. Weight was about equal. I think you can put 2 and 2 together. I'm sure the 305 is a good engine, but you have to admit the 302 is a MUCH better performance platform than the 305.

hey RS yeah im 16 and i had my license for like 3 to 4 months.. I bought my Z28 like 2 yrs still smells like the dealership lol... Anyways the 305 in chevy i think is still better then the stangs 5.0, because for Mustangs r a piece of shit and i work on them at my dads garage all the time.. The only reason you love ford is if you or your dad owns a gas station because thats how you make money in the mechanic buisness... from fixing shit boxes like fords.. Plus ur RS is a million times better looking then those mustangs ... Stangs in the 3rd gen are just soo ugly... but the 4th gen Mustangs..they got more taste plus in 94-96 when they were making the 4.6 in stangs the mustangs are much better car then they were in 3rd gen.. Yeah but the thing is i have a 350 5.7 which came 245 hp stock. plus added things too it, which its 300 hp but me and master mechanic (dad) plan too make it around 400 hp then im gonna stop cuz i aint gonna fool with it.. :naughty

My friends told me that they could kick my ass with there Gay Stangs... But after racing on Route 95 in Mass.... I took care of them....

Hey pal i hate Ford and always will and im talking bout 8 cyl!! 5.0!! NOT 4 you moron.. when did 4 cyl com up? Im comparing with the 8's not 6 and not 4.. And sec of all the 5.0's in Mustangs do suck ass, they burn alot of oil and fucking dont last for shit... I see these Piled up in my dads garage all day.. there like the #1 sport car that goes there and causes headaches... funny thing is we really never work camaros that much besides oil changes, tires and easy bullshit....well thats why they switched it too 4.6 around 95 or somthing like that.. they suck balls.. and i aint saying chevy the best either because the 305 aint a perfect engine either as well as the 350.. But its hell alot better then fords 5.0.. Well chevy still uses 5.7 in alot of there newer models like camaros as well as Pontiac Firebirds.. but mustangs dont have 5.0 anymore... that im aware of..

Go to the track and learn something about performance. Not to offend any camaro guys here (sorry 98IROC and 92RS) but the fox body mustangs ruled the 3rd gen camaros. Besides the aftermarket for a 5.0 is so much better than a tpi car. Oh and if you where such a mechanic then you shoud know that the 5.7 that they use today is nothing like the 5.7 L98 tpi. The L98 is a 350 and the new 5.7 is like 346 or something like that. I'm not trying to bad mouth The camaro or anything. They are damn nice cars, but give credit where credit is due. Also if you don't work on camaros then you don't have a shop. They have there share of problems just like a mustang does. 16 year old arrogance is what get you in trouble when you go to race the big boys.

Well stangs and fbodies alike have there problems. I can not knock the ford 302, it's an outstanding motor. It has a bore about the size of a 5.7 with only a three inch stroke. So you have more explosion area and less travel, so I by nature(rev happy) am a fan of it. However, ford didn't tune the stang as well as they could have from the factory. The Stang 5.0 has probably more potential than our beloved 5.7, and yes the LS1 is 346CID by the way. From the factory the fbody had better performance. But if you know what you'r doing then the 302 was a...well ford put it best. BOSS. Know..I saw someone knocking the TBI and the 305 again... C'mon now..Yes stock it had 170 at the wheels, or so chevy claimed..It's more like 201hp acourding to my "before" dyno. And by the way that 215 at the crank pulls about 191 at the wheels, which is the same as the 305TBI. So chevy's second best fbody was matching the stangs. Now hands down the IrocZ and Z had more. Chevy clamed 235 I believe, wich was underated I'm sure. But the factory stangs couldn't keep up. Before you start busting my balls remember that I'm talking stock now ok. But anyways, anyone with some gears spinning for brains will find away, take me for example, to make there car hell of a lot faster. ie. my 400rwhp RS. ok I'm done.

IROCS and GTA's where too heavy. But what do I care about the argument between a foxbody and a F-body...... My G-body buick eats them both for dinner. (stock for stock as well as modded)

P.S. Just had to put that last comment in nobody talks about a "Buick" like they do a camaro or mustang
