When you hear all the stats about the new Camaro you get the distinct impression that the Mustang is in serious trouble.  But it's actually a pretty close fight between these two automobile powerhouses.

For my purposes let's just talk about the Mustang GT and the Camaro 2SS.

Mustang GT
Price - $27,995
weight - 3572 pounds
Transmission - 5 speed
Wheels - 18"
Horsepower - 315
0 to 60 - 5.2 seconds
1/4 mile - 13.5 seconds

Camaro SS
Price - $33,745
Weight - 3860 pounds
Transmission - 6 speed
Wheels - 20"
Horsepower - 426
0 to 60 - 4.8 seconds
1/4 mile - 13 seconds

Basically the new Camaro has more (better) features like a 6 speed or bigger wheels but when the rubber hits the road the 1/4 is close.  Too close.  A Camaro with a 110 horsepower more than the Mustang should kill it but the Mustang is lighter.  With an average joe behind the wheel, this race would be a dead heat.  Mustang lovers should add a few performance parts like a better exhaust or a supercharger and you've got a Camaro killer.

Camaro lovers need to eliminate a little weight or add a Hennessey air intake for some quick horsepower.  On a side note if you haven't seen the Hennessey Camaro with it's 562 horsepower! you are missing it.  That is a ridiculously fast Camaro.
