I think I'd take a Mustang over the new Camaro. I don't like the dashboard in the Camaro. Mustang interior materials are much better. Way to go Ford! Our only hope. lol
Took GM way too long to release this car. I like a lot. After reading the review though, I would go with Ford. I like the 370Z better than both. lol
Mustang Wins
- Thread starter buster

I saw the new Camaro on the highway the other day and I was shocked at how large the car is, its way too big.
I keep coming back to the fact that the Mustang GT (with Track Package) out-corners the Camaro SS and isn't that much slower, despite having a live rear axle and a huge horsepower deficit. I hope people realize from this what a difference 300 lbs can make, and start paying attention to how much their car weighs. That'd be another baby step toward cars that don't weigh as much as houses.

Take that 370Z.

That's interesting. I remember seeing a video review that said the Camaro was way better put-together than the Mustang.

I'll take a BMW Z4 M Coupe. Not that its necessarily faster and all that, but just because the Z4 coupe has to be the most sexeh car I've seen lately.
As for the subj topic, I'll take the Mustang GT over the new Camaro.
I checked out several Camaros at the recent F-Body Gathering. The base Camaro V6 has a rather plain interior, decent plastics, nice fit and finish but not too snazzy. The more upscale SS interior with 2-tone leather has more style.
Exterior wise, the car is pretty big, easy to get in and out, comfy seats and good sized doors. A nice car for big guys. The exterior styling is a definite home run. I really think the Camaro will age well and look great 10 years from now. It has a great deal of presence and is stylish without being trendy. Very very nice.
Still, if a Mustang was parked next to a Camaro for an A>B comparo, I'm not sure how well the Chevy would do. The Mustang is equally stylish in & out and to me has a more usable interior. Hard to beat that combo.
The new Camaro is ugly too and the designer needs to go back to the drawing board.I do not like the looks of it
Ford did a nice job with the Mustang. GM took too long to release this car and failed to make it better than the competition.
Every Retro car GM has made has been a dismal failure. GTO, SSR..
Can someone also explain why GM interiors have SUCKED for the last 15 years or maybe more? Is it that hard to make a nice interior? If you can't design one, can you at least copy one from another vehicle! Ridiculous.

Make mine 6- speed , with the EcoBoost V-6 and 350hp
With its lower weight,it'll be a mighty fine corner-carver and still return mileage in the upper 20's

I just can't get past the horsepower/quarter mile times. The Camaro having nearly 100 more H.P. but being only .1 quicker in the quarter mile cannot be totally explained with a 300 lbs difference between the two. In my opinion, this is a real disappointment for G.M. and Camaro fans. I would take the Mustang too...there's something about knowing that the energy output of your car is more efficiently used than something that has that amount of driveline loss.
