Video: 2010 Mustang GT vs 2010 Camaro SS vs 2009 Challenger R/T
Earlier we wrote about an exhaust sound comparison test between the Mustang,Camaro and Challenger. Now MotorTrend does a performance test and handling test on the following cars and tells us what they like and don’t like about each car. I was very suprised the the 0-60 times on all of these cars. The Mustang GT is a lot faster now and suprisingly faster than the V8 Hemi Challenger. The Camaro SS does a 0-60 in an amazing 4.7 and is a steal at $30,095. These are all nice modern muscle cars and I’d be happy with any of the three. What do you think of the muscle cars?

witch is the best handling,performance,comfort, etc camaro ss vs mustang gt
******It is so sad that the New CamaroTransformer edition cannot actually transform for real cause i’ll let all of thoses bast*** of mustang loosers pass in front of my camaro transform kick there pony ass re-transform and get in front again hahaha that would feel so good…And please don’t go and post has me with my name tag and say stupid things, thinking the others will bite on it cause you will just proove me right that your just a bunch of pathetic moroons who can’t accept defeat and i’ll never take back what i said mustang sucks…
Hey pathetic ford guy’s go check out that video of the HPE650 camaro vs your stupid supersnake mustang vs challenger on youtube and try to come here and flap you mouth again without knowing that your just a stupid band of bad lossers morons…you all talk about mod this and mod that and the camaro as more hp then the gt bla bla bla…got there and have a look of the 3 cars all mods up and test on track no one can say anything this time they are all modify so stop crying ford baby’s and even better to shut your mouth up the supersnake has more hp the the camaro test on the same dyno and still smoke your fuc*** slippering ass retarded differential mustang on both tracks and 1/4 mile.
And for that guy who said that the camaro should do better in 0-60 cause it have 100 more hp then the gt then if i follow your thinking a 700hp-800hp car should do a 0-60 in like ”-2.0 second” stupid dumb ass then a 1/4mile race car should do it in -5.0 second since it as 1000hp and more PFFFF stupid mustang addict you have never notice that at a certain time it takes almost a miracle to make a car go 1/10 of second faster on a 0-60 there are limits in motor technologie you know we are talking of high tech car here…and yeah your all a band of morons paying for a mustang GT when you can get the sam or better with the V6 camaro.
And honestly just look at this camaro…first place far in front of this crying puppy eyes looking mustang isn’t it the most beautiful thing you have seen from years…all this frustration and hate is because deeply in you you are sick of yourself getting attracted by the camaro
Remember the supersnake has like 15 or more hp then the camaro so it is just another proof that hp is not all in a cars like most of the little nerds who post here think, they just look at the hp of cars on google and say that a car is better then another one pffff most of them has never put there monkey ass in a muscle car so…for exemple the corvette can beat so many car who got more hp, because of the weight…or some car beat others because of a better transmision or gear ratio and the most important the driver.

If I could afford just one of these cars, I’d take it. Don’t care which, all would be better than my 93 GMC Sonoma.
You know, It’s funny. I’ve been going to the drags for 10 years now, and i shure am seeing a trend. Can any body guess what it is?!?!?! A Sh!t load of……………. you guessed it, MUSTANGS! More and More, and they are getting VERY FAST and DOMINATING with that little 4.6/5.4. Hell, even all the CHEVY guyes are now racing the Mod motor mustangs. I see a trend, and I’m shure it will continue when GM goes belly up for good!
And for the gye that said ford was sandbaggin on the 03/04 Cobra #’s, Not true. there were many dyno test to prove the crank HP rating of 390 from the factory. Just admit it that cobra was a bad AS$ car. Exhaust, pulley change and a tune and you were opening the 600 RWHP Door! Thats impressive! I dont care who you are or what you love.
Also, did you know that the the first 07 GT 500 with 500HP is the same motor (inside and out)as in the 2010 GT 500 with 40 more HP!!! all that changed is the tune for the extra power. Do you think all these company’s are leaving LOTS of power on the table for the sake of fuel milage and emissions. You bet!
How on earth anyone could describe the Camaro’s interior as being “higher quality” than the Mustang or “well executed” is a mystery. It’s a collection of tinny and cheap plastic that’s overstyled to the point of being cumbersome. And while panel fitment may be a bit inconsistent for the Mustang, those are matters that can be easily adjusted and resolved at no cost. Good luck trying to replace the Hot Wheels interior of the Camaro.
Looks like the people are voting with their wallets. For the 5th straight month Camaro’s have outsold Mustangs. October’s numbers are 8082 Camaro sales vs 4789 Mustangs. Just wait till the convertibles and the Z28 hit the market!
You guys really need to look at the facts and not just resort to name calling.
saying “yeah but i can mod the mustang to be faster” is a deadend subject, you can mod both and your going to see better results from modding a 6.2 over a 4.6, that 6.2 has a pretty lame and lazy cam in it with AWESOME heads, cam swap will net ALOT of power, more then so on a 4.6
Do you really think that 3v sohc v8 is easier to work on then a pushrod v8?
yeah, its 300lbs more. thats the price you pay for a better built car with higher quality materials. you cant argue with that, also part of the reason it costs more, which is why it also needs a bigger engine.
13.5 vs 13.0 is not as relevant as the 111mph trap of the camaro and only 104mph of the mustang. So the mustang got a better launch, maybe he shifted quicker, TRAP SPEED is the indication of speed. Trust me, there’s plenty of room for a big ass tire under the rear of the Camaro so traction is not a huge issue with one modded, if you do it correctly. 325 wide sticky tires will do just that, stick. Like said, the camaro will pull like a freight train on that mustang if both launch the same, thats a mid to high 12 second trap speed.
Mustang is a cheaper made, less powerful car that costs less.
and about the vettes and supersnakes, theZR1 will own a supersnake in all performance categories. ZR1 is a supercar, supersnake is a souped up pony car.
Mustangs are nice, but there is a reason why the camaro costs more. Dont take into consideration the dealers asking 7k over invoice. Its an anticipated car that was just released, same thing happened a little with the new mustang. Hell, even the PT cruiser demanded a big premium over msrp at one time.
Too bad jeeps are faster. Check out the Jeep srt8 henessey twin turo. It pumps out 800 horses and makes for a 2.9 seconds 0-60 time.
I think the Mustand being only 2 tenths of a second slower than the camaro with a much better smaller engine is the more impressive car. I parked my 07 Mustang next to a new Camaro and the Mustang looks better. The Camaro is too big. The only reason the Camaros are out selling the Mustangs is all the Mustang lovers already have a Mustang and are not going to replace them until they are paid off. The Camaro lovers are buying camaros just because they had nothing to buy the last few years. Remember the Mustangs are rated more reliable as are most Fords over GM and the Camaros copied the Mustangs. I like Fords because they didn’t have to steal money from the tax payers to stay in business. Also Ford is making a profit and GM still lost almost $1 billion last quarter so who cares if their car is .2 seconds faster in the quater. lol
Just because a car is heavier does not mean its a better built car. You have no idea what you are talking about. The Mustang is considered more reliable than a Camaro. Look at the issues with the new Camaro already. The Mustang is lighter because its a smaller car. The Camaro is ugly and a complete copy cat of the Mustang. The Camaro sales will peak once all the GM lovers buy their new Camaro. I don’t hate the Camaro at all but I would never own a car with a 6.2 liter engine that can barely beat a car with a 4.6 liter engine. The Mustang only has to get 20 more HP to beat your beloved Camaro because of the weight difference. Once the 412 HP Mustang comes out it will blow the doors off the Camaro but who cares since i don’t race my car anyway. The .2 seconds difference doesn’t keep me from having just as much fun in my Mustang and it looks a lot better.
I can’t beleive the Camaro people are a bunch or redneck hillbillies. do you actually think us Mustang lovers care if you can barely beat a Mustang in a race. How many of your race your $30K car? I wouldn’t purchase a used Camaro of Mustang from anybody under the age of 40. I hate to tell all you GM lovers that GM are not rated as high as Fords and haven’t been for a while especially chevys. I forgot most of you can’t read, lol.
umm…. excuse me dale 1 or wat eva what da hell iz ur problem chevys are the best they are better than fords an d mustangs are good but cameros are more stylish and are wayyyy better than mustangs so if u dont no wat ur talking bout then just shut the hell up dumb ass!!!!!
yup i was told 38,000 cdn for a 1ss base not extras add taxes and delivery and admin fees.it gets pricey fast.and no incentives.i am now getting a 2010 gt for 38,000 all in with 19inch alloys and a block heater lol.and who gives a crap what car does what,they all look nice.i test drove a 1lt camaro and did’nt like it.it felt cheap and sluggish.i have no preference between ford chevy or dodge,but i am buying the ford for sure.
or sorry and yes i agree the inside of the camaro felt cheaply made even though i liked the simple looks.and the wheel wells did’nt seem well finished when i checked them out.
who is the only one that never stopped making the vehicles were talking about here FORD BABY thats who.. chevy just tries to put alot of horsepower in a ugly car and sells it to you suckers. and dodge who in their right mind would buy that transmission eatin bastard. mustang will always outdo the competion because its not about horsepower its about gettin laid … nothing says have sex with me like a mustang gt… UR ALL CRAZY MAN
Ford, Chevy and Dodge owners need to stop fighting and focus on the damn imports. I personally love the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger, but I can’t stand those stupid ass rice-mobiles that sound like a pissed off lawnmower. Domestics unite!
you all suck a ma dick, i will kick your dog. Long live Mustang GT
I have a ’07 GT naturally aspirated but modded with deep dish bullit wheels 10″w, 275-40-18 performance rubber x 4, short shifter, alum drive shaft,true-trac diff, center-force clutch, and a bunch of rpm mods, plus a lot of suspension brands. I respect the camaro drivers and their cars, we have something in common, cars! We are the same. I have been in some street races with Chevys of all types, those guys just can’t stand the sight of a happy mustang driver. Here is what I learned: there are no rules in street racing, the winner is the crazier driver, and I am glad we all avoided jail and wrecks and I let ‘em pass now. If nothing else, they trip the radar up ahead. I will tell you what sucks, tickets! ( 3 of ‘em) Anyway if camaro owners are as happy as I then we are all happy. The GT is a good owners experience: fuel economy, price of car, price of insurance, defect free quality, performance, handling, style, super sound, sat- radio, leather buckets, etc=an overall winner. Mustang is not a super-car, a ZR1, Z06, GT3,911, BMW+ models etc. but it is something to drive that is Steve McQueen cool and affordable. I modded the car because I like working on cars and the upgrades make me like the car more. GM says 2010 Camaro makes Mustang primitive. I agree, at least for the ’07 GT. A mustang is a hot rod: T3650-5 speed, 8.8″ solid axle, long hood, short rear deck, fast back roof, rwd V8, dual growl exhausts, US built, clean lines-steel body, to me that is the definition of a hot rod. All this sync, IRS, Jaguar-like wood-chrome interior, LCD dash, blue tooth, DVD screen, GPS, hands free phones, paddle shifters, 6-7 speeds, leather with lace, auto everything, is stuff that does not belong in a hot rod. I have wrangled with two of the above mentioned high end sports cars and held my place to 135 mph.
But that is all. Those true sports cars run 175-205mph, I cannot use that level of performance For $26,5K ($2K off sticker)for an ’07 GT, mustang is a good buy in $/ft-lb ratio.
Drive safe men, I am, well, at least I am trying real hard.
