I'm planning on buying the camaro z28:
6.2L supercharged V8, 560 horsepower.

Is mustang losing it's touch or should it not be compared with the camaro?
2010 mustang:
4.7L V8, 300 horsepower. I understand that it's 400 lbs lighter, but will that make THAT much of a difference?
I think FORD needs to step up their game. Chevy has won the 2010 pony car games.
HMUSN:
i know the camaro SS stats by heart.
the camaro is not being delayed any longer, but the camaro Z28, the one i was talking about, is being delayed, the Z28 is a higher performance car than the SS, i got my stats from a motor trend magazine i read yesterday.
I did not know the 1/4 mile time or 0-60 for the 'stang, but the camaro Z28 (the delayed one) goes 0-60 in 3.9 and runs the 1/4 in 12s.
^^ that's the same 0-60 as the 2009 corvette and one second slower 1/4 mile.
 
From a looks standpoint, the 2010 Stang and Camaro are tied (and they're both fantastic). From a performance and engineering standpoint, the Camaro is absolutely the winner, hands down.

The question is really this: in this economy, and with the likelihood of gas prices shooting up over $4/gallon in the next few years, will anyone buy either vehicle?
 
Last time I checked the 2010 Camaro isn't coming out due to Chevy cutting their performance line because of the recession. So I would say Ford wins that one. Ford is also the only big company that DID NOT take the bail out money. and the mustang is a 4.6L, and 400 pounds is good for 4/10th's in the 1320. ALSO, I don't know where you got your info from but here is the correct info:

2010 Chevy's Camaro SS outfitted with the 422-hp 6.2-liter LS3 V8 six-speed manual hits 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and runs a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 108 mph according to Oppenheiser.

Last time I checked ,a bone stock GT 300hp mustang does 0-60 in 5.1 and the 1/4 mile in 13.5 .. with 120hp less. lets see how we do with an extra 400 pounds shaved off. Est. a 13.1 1/4. not too bad considering the Camaro outpowers the ford huh?
 
i do aggree with you i love the new mustangs but the new camaros have gotten ford beat. i was told they were going to start putting super turbos in the mustangs but it going to effect the price greatly and its only going to boost their hp by 50 i wish they brought back thecosworth and put them in the new focus. that would be so fuckin bad ass...
 
If the race was held today the mustang would win the car that is available today always wins against the one that is coming soon.
