2015 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS - Head 2 Head Ep. 58

[@Arthurzeiro]

In my humble opinion both cars are winners, cause they're keeping the powerful engine in the front, rear wheel drive and manual gearbox combination alive.

[@justdrisco11]

I can't agree more, but a mustang with a 4 cyl turbo TERRIBLE IDEA!

[@justdrisco11]

It maybe cheaper but a 4cyl in a mustang? come on thats what you buy your wife to run back and forth to the grocery store.

[@nickscustoms269]

justin driscoll A strait 4 twin turboed to make 310 hp doesn't sound too bad.

[@CardiacAtttack]

justin driscoll There have been four cylinder Mustangs before and besides the only thing it does is increase profits so the real enthusiasts can still have their V8's.

[@justdrisco11]

single turbo not twin. not saying thats a bad engine because the focus st has proven its performance. Its just seems wrong to not put a v8 in it, but hey lets see how aftermarket companies mod this combo, it will be interesting to see at least.

[@MrPl0xygen]

People talk shit on cars to much, pick the one you like, take fucking care of it, and it will last...

You really have to see the new Mustang in person. It's beautiful.

[@edwardcarballo390]

I went to the Ford dealer and saw the new mustang and was like that is SO DAMN UGLY. Guess ill just keep my 04 Cobra.

[@xCkillaxC]

edward carballo Damn, 04 Cobra's are still worth 20k. It's like fuck depreciation!

[@edwardcarballo390]

xCkillaxC Its still the best mustang I have ever driven and I have driven most. Just wanted to look at some thing new. I was very disappointed.

[@xCkillaxC]

edward carballo Hey, some people are stuck in the past I guess. I got an older car too, it's a 1999. I won't tell what kind of car, because you're a muscle car guy, so you could probably care less XD

[@justonp1981]

Agreed. In person this thing is so tough looking! I feel like this is GM Trend! The GM Track Pack is $1,000 more. Which gives wider tires, more dampening, etc... For $1,000 you can get the extra power and wider rubber and dampening to gain 2 seconds on the lap time the sliver of lateral skid pad and figure eight improvement to compare with the more expensive GM Track Pack. Regardless we are talking about bolt on parts. The Ford is praised as having the more refined interior, size, and the overall package. The GM is accused of having a cheap interior in comparison and the less desireable size to throw around the track. Ford put their value in things that are harder for the consumer to improve themselves.

[@kdogg257]

Personally I'm a Camaro guy, but I've driven a few of my friends mustangs as well as rode in them. Mustangs look great and perform great! I'm biased towards the Camaro, but the Mustang is still a great looking car that is awesome!

its nice to see someone appreciate both cars!

[@claytonforry5609]

I like this guy. You are not that bowtie or die kind of Chevy person.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Impressive! I expected the Mustang's return to be more sparkly. When it comes to the track, Chevy always seems to pick well in regards to tires. Big and sticky.

[@bdt999]

love your channel bro!

[@fightfanian]

It seems to be their thing, just throw a big engine and big tires at anything and voila, less engineering, more ugh, ugh, big stick hit hard!

[@deadeyedickification]

fightfanian That's interesting considering all the GT500 has to offer against the ZL1 is big engine, more power. I'd say Ford engineers are the ones worried how hard a stick will hit something. Did you know you can install a blower on a ZL1 that is the same size as the one on the GT500 and match it's boost level and it'll make more power than the GT500? You probably didn't. You're too busy trying to clean up all the butt hurt.

[@ihatecrackhead]

***** ZL1 performance package changes pulley to make 15psi form the stock blower and makes 790hp if ZL1 had GT500 blower it would makes over 800hp @15psi boost

[@deadeyedickification]

ihatecrackhead If that's true, then that's pretty interesting. I'll have to search it on YT

[@XTheDriverX]

Has anyone else ever noticed that all the car comparisons so far this year and late last year between a GM product and other manufacturers, the GM products has won pretty much everything? 2015 mustang vs camaro 1le= Camaro (GM) Nissan GTR vs Camaro Z28 = Camaro (GM) 2014 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car = Camaro (GM) 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year = Caddillac (GM) 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport vs 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport = Cadillac (GM) It's either GM has building some really amazing cars, or some people should start considering changing their company name to GM TREND.

[@MorePreviews]

Lol thats actually true! Even in this video, Randy and Carlos's words sometimes contradicts each other. When they're talking about the GT on the track they mention how it's "too hard" for the road but too soft for the track. But then Randy goes on to say the 1LE has even harder suspension which is why it's better on the track... and... that is what you want for the road.

[@AndrewBitting]

They've always been biased towards GM

[@HemiMike]

So it seems GM is building some good cars this year! is there a problem?

[@TinoMiller]

Lmao ... It's true .. General Motors has been devoted in making a big step for this decade .. Truth be told some companies are going to start stealing GM ideas .. For economy cars GM has the best exterior looking cars and as my opinion the interior also ...

[@wtpjustice100]

Mike Camaro Good cars??? Jesus, look at all the recalls!

[@Dolby109]

Has anyone noticed that the 1LE Camaro here just beat the time for the new BMW M4 (and also Lexus RCF). And here there are still people that think the M4 is faster than the Corvette. Camaro 1LE - 1:22.81 BMW M4 - 1:23.73 Lexus RCF - 1:24.05 Mustang GT Track - 1:24.32

[@jeffwill4923]

Problem with M4 is the instant torque of turbos. BMW didn't hold it back on that issue. Those SS tires can't put the power down in cornering. M4 is a drift machine.C&D where checking Z51 pack tires vs M4 and couldn't believe the difference at VIR.Both have SS but Vette run flats grip far greater. M4 power is very similar to Vette only comes in later in rpm. It nudges the Corvette at peak delivery by a few horses and some tq on dyno. M4 is more of a strait line car. Would be good race with DCT vs Vette Z51 with new auto.

[@Dolby109]

Jeffrey Williams Randy (or any experienced driver) is good at feeding the throttle. If the M4 is tail happy it is likely due to suspension setup. Maybe it could use wider rear tires as well.

[@jeffwill4923]

Adam S Rear chassis is very stiff. It's bolted in without bushing if I'm not mistaken.Very little flex is in the rear because this. Could be a reason but this drift machine need some R tires or Cup2 for cornering.

[@Dolby109]

Jeffrey Williams Yes a stiff rear end will make a car prone to oversteer. Despite being FWD the Fiesta ST will oversteer sometimes because they set the rear end so stiff (which is why its so fun).

[@nusterrab9286]

You can still lose

[@BrawndoQC]

Can we stop being 5 years old fanboys and agree they both are great car. I've a 2015 GT Premium and I find the Camaro to be gorgeous and sometimes jealous of the sound although the 5.0 Coyote sound is nothing to be ashamed of.

[@harrisondemyers1956]

Exactly

[@ShepperdOneill]

As a Ford guy, im disappointed with the '15 GT. However, I also do not take magazine tests as official. Towards the end, Carlos says, "If the Camaro weren't here, then we would be singing the Mustangs praises." Seems like they already made up their mind with a statement like that. In a previous head to head when the GT500 beat the ZL1 is most tests, they gave the win to the ZL1, which was odd. But now that actually give the win to the car that won most of the tests. Flip flop, flip flop. Either way, im not impressed with the new GT. I will however be patient and wait to see what SVT pulls out of their butt with the GT350. Its either going to be a monster that sucks up GM products and eats them, or it will be a heavy disappointment. Either way, I gotta give it to GM for making a really nice track car like the 1LE, even though im not a GM guy. But then again, the 1LE is just a ZL1 without the blower and MRC, so its no surprise that the 1LE was slightly faster.

[@HemiMike]

Sanic x2

[@3rdGenGuy]

Mike Camaro idk about twice as good. The GT is the better daily driver though. But it can't touch the camaros' handling.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Also, the zl1 beat the gt500 in every test except the 1/4 mile. That's why it won. The zl1 best the gt500 in every comparison. Edmunds,car and driver, drive, ex.

[@seedubhuntx]

i'm still really pissed off about the gt-500 vs zl1. Gt-500 won more tests, was more fun, and in the magazine, appeared to have more positive points than the camaro (in the article) and still lost. and then the hellcat one for being a gt-500 with more power -_-

[@ShepperdOneill]

Sanic Thats where I gotta stop you. The ZL1 did not beat the GT500 in every test. If you read the MT article, it lists all the tests, and the GT500 won in 0-60, 60-0, 1/4 mile, top speed, gas mileage, faster around Laguna Seca, and the only thing the ZL1 won, was the handling portion (figure eight). The GT500 had the better results in most of the tests.

[@emchammer1815]

The one negative I give the Mustang is the exhaust note. It's like they wanted to quiet it as if it was competing for luxury points. Mustangs need to roar!

[@artsohc]

Eric West You need to go sit in one. The 2015 GT sounds like my 2011GT, but my GT has the Ford Racing axle-back exhaust. It sounds good stock, and is about as loud as my buddies 2014 1LE with performance exhaust.

[@emchammer1815]

I did and it wasn't as strong as the 04 Mach 1 I used to own. It sounded nice but wasn't as gutteral. Hard to explain without comparing it to Mach 1 (2004).

[@ForTehNguyen]

Eric West exhaust note had to be neutered to comply with euro noise regs. Theres a reason why 2015 GTs are gaining 30 rwhp from exhausts.

[@maurapalacios3006]

ForTehNguyen

[@FlightX101]

The gt350 is way better :)

[@Tonyisgaming]

Man, as a Camaro guy I was hoping the 2015 Mustang would wreck the Camaro. I like the competition and it's important to drive all automobile manufacturers to improve on their vehicles more and more. To be honest though, the only reason the Mustang lost is because it's Performance Package is a rip off... If you bought the stock GT and did your own customization and put some better tires and suspension on it I'm sure it'll be right up there with the 1LE. Biggest issue you run into with the Mustang though is that wheelbase. The Camaro is still very low and wide and the Mustang has a lot more body roll. Can't wait to see what Shelby does with this thing, hope it blows me away.

[@g3nesisprime183]

So 9 Minutes in and from what I understand... better suspension and tyres for the mustang and it'll be best option. Awesome

[@AnthonyTreadway]

thank you now we have a real car guy XDXDXD

[@jreimer666]

***** I dont know if I would change the suspension on the 1LE I hear its pretty good

[@24thMandark]

JR666 I've gone to track days in my 2012 1LE against some pretty modded mustangs. My camaro isn't totally stock either (mostly bolt on engine upgrades and some tuning) but I usually kick quite a bit of ass.

[@dbottiaux88]

alexander vick and you don't consider that could be all driver? Not saying you're a pro driver at all, but the other drivers are just doing it for fun. Nothing is a competition. I guarantee most of the drivers aren't even comfortable pushing the car to it's very limit. G3nesis Prime yeah... definitely. ***** oh lawdy yes it does!

[@coureurdebois]

***** yea just use 20K in upgrades!! thats all and it will be a better car!!! more power to the ford fan boy brigade

[@skooli2]

Here's what bugs me about this comparison, I'm a Ford guy, but Chevy got it right. They delivered a purpose built track car that is relatively affordable. They got it. Straight line performance is too one dimensional for today's market. Ford has this phenomenal engine and they keep missing the mark on the chassis. Make it stick in the turns. The technology is there, but I think Ford doesn't really care at the moment. It's like they gave us the IRS just to keep us quiet. I'm still on the fence about the looks too.

[@sahiel5]

u got it wrong...it was the same story with last gen gt with PP was for light duty racing and brakes upgrades for the roud track version was the boos302 and we all know what that did to chevys...

[@skooli2]

Not sure what you're saying I got wrong.

[@sahiel5]

skooli2 ask your self what dose MT knows?are thouse rly comparble only cuz MT compared them? PP on mustnag is aimed at difrent porpose than 1le - u can see it in the price,i went to site of ford and gm and base stang gt with PP is 2,5k less than base 1le u said gm delivered purpose built track - ye they did, but that mustang is not its competitor last generation GT compeat with ss,1le with boss302,gt500 with zl1 and all was right in the world that irs is all all ready over 3 sec faster on this track with same driver than last generation gm cars are fast on the track because of whide sticky tiers and hard shocks and its the same thign that makes them worst on the bumpy roud

[@skooli2]

For the moment, the car that Ford gave for the test is the closest they can get to the 1LE. Ford has not built, nor have they mentioned building, another Boss 302 (which by the way, was much more expensive than the 1LE). As I said in my original post, Ford doesn't really seem to care at the moment.

[@MrHoboyoda]

***** you, sir, have not driven a camaro ss 1le. These cars cost about 40000.00$ but also feel like 40000.00$. Compared to the gt on a track...no comparison. The 1le doesn't really even feel like a camaro on the track! It feels like a smooth roller-coaster ride that you get to control....very track designed but full of forgiveness. .

[@AHeadlessChicken2008]

[@ernestothebesto1]

Numbers don't lie

[@theguywhobeatthathookermar870]

+Ernesto look at the engine sizes... It's kinda sad that a 6.2 is just a little better then a 5.0. So first of all the numbers don't even match to begin with.

[@jerrydstorer7598]

Whist like your gay ford father

[@TheMrRichard]

Tristen Martin Well, considering the external dimensions of the 5.0L is bigger than a big block Hemi, I would say that it is a fair comparison as they are also running quadruple the camshafts and double the valves.

[@dane302]

Chase M Very very well said. It's not talked about but GM is a very large contributor to Motortrend.....

[@kevinbreese5739]

I'm a mustang guy...for many years, but I don't know how anyone can say the Camaro is "ugly." That car is totally badass looking. It actually comes from the factory with proper wheels/tires that look awesome and have proper offsets, while Ford as usual chose to go with a Wally Wagon setup. The Ford's interior is definitely nicer, and the visibility is obviously much better, but other then that, the Camaro wins this, and at a MUCH lower price. Not only do Mustang buyers pay a higher price up front but then have to pony up (no pun intended) another couple grand for proper wheels/tires & even more aggressive dampers. Bottom line: The Camaro comes turn-key, the mustang you need to invest a lot more into on top of the higher price tag. You'll then have the better car but at a much higher cost + time.

[@nyelement007]

i like how you put it kevin coming from a camaro guy. the mustang is faster in a straight line but cornering its got nothing really. i feel bad for you ford guys cuz i actually thought they was gonna come out with this track monster with like 450hp and outhandle and outperform our chevy cars. but really they slacked off made it heavier nice interior tho....but only faster by .1 tenth? brakes are a huge concern for me anyways and the suspension needs alot of improving still.......how much time will 1 need lol? a camaro is ready to race right away no excuses or anything. now just imagine a hennesy700 upgraded camaro SS. check out there site and cars you may like them. i think they do mustangs too?

[@kevinbreese5739]

Ok I'm going to have to retract from initial comment a bit. After posting it I did a "build and price" with the Camaro and it's not any less expensive. In fact it's actually more expensive. The only reason the Ford is more expensive in this comparo is because the Mustang is loaded up with all the options including recaro's, while the Camaro is not. Building a GT premium as I would want it came out about $1000 less than the price of the Camaro SS as I would want it. Add in Ford X-pricing and it's quite a bit less expensive than the Camaro to the point of more then offsetting the cost of new wheels/tires (after selling the stock ones). At that point I think they both look equally nice on the exterior. But looking back at the interiors, there really is a HUGE difference in my opinion. I'm not sure I could ever get past that camaro interior, whereas I think the new mustangs interior is superb. Definitely a place I would enjoy being as opposed to sitting in the Camaro which would be a matter of tolerating it. For starters, those generic chevy steering wheels…uggh. The only advantage the Camaro would have then is a slight handling advantage. But that can be remedied without too much difficulty or expense. It would already be partially offset with more aggressive wheels/tires. Plus some people may actually prefer the softer ride quality of the Mustang. After all, not everyone goes to the track. Either way it's not too difficult to change. While on the other hand, the Camaro's interior you can't do much about it. There's also the better visibility of the Ford and I personally like the Mustang heritage and name better too. Plus it's still is lighter and bit quicker as well. All Said and done I have to go back and give the edge to the Mustang. Both however are great sports/muscle cars. To each their own.

[@Mark01gt]

Both fast cars but the mustang looks a hell of a lot better.

[@Silenced_by_Utoob]

6The6Devil6 ford ditched the boxy look....chevy is doing the same with the 16 camaro.

[@smibru]

Mark01gt The mustang looks better than what? In my opinion the camaro looks ten times better than the ugly mustang! Hell the old 2013 mustang looks better then this thing! You are sure you wasn't drunk when you looked at the stang. If not time to update your eyeglass prescription!

[@keptkozy]

smibru Lol sounds like a stupid reply considering looks are a matter of opinion. I wish the Camaro looked more like the Mustang.

[@jrcannjay8016]

smibru you sure you wasnt drunk? Who learned you how to spoke?

[@smibru]

In fact, I did have a little too drink. What's your excuse, "Who learned you how to spoke?" You should keep you judgement to yourself and say it out loud so you can hear how you sound. This isn't the year 1913! LOL.

[@TonyTube407]

Well. I'm definitely disappointed that the Mustang didn't do better against the Camaro. Having said that, I think the disparity in performance isn't necessarily a mark against the Mustang as much as a pat on the back to GM. Track numbers aside, I can think of plenty of reasons I'd much rather have the Mustang in my garage, but that's just a matter of personal preference. Dear MotorTrend: this is hands down one of THE BEST comparisons of two cars I've ever seen, and certainly the best Head 2 Head episode you've done. It was a little bit of everything. Raw track data, driving impressions both on and off the track, and finally an awesome real-time split-screen comparison of one complete lap. Simply awesome. I really came away feeling like I learned something tangible today. Thank you!!!

[@willsnyder2190]

Agreed, i'm a chevy guy but I do still like mustangs mainly the 60s gt fastback mustangs. the track data backs up what the presenters have said. the camaro has better brakes than the mustang decelerating faster into corners.The camaro has better suspension resulting in more corner grip allowing it to take corners faster. it has consistently higher corner mph than the mustang, especially in the second to last corner. The camaro's low to mid range torque helps it accelerate out of corners faster but then the mustang counters with more mid to high range HP so as was said their straight line speed is almost identical with the mustang being slightly faster in the quarter mile due to gearing and a higher power band. I would still buy a camaro but I certainly wouldnt say no if some one gave me this mustang. all in all great test and video and go Chevy!

[@zachbackar5389]

I agree.

[@tech4dummies584]

will snyder Tires are the biggest difference between these two cars. Mustang needs a couple section widths wider front and back, with probably a 305 in the back, judging by the way it gets loose. Camaros front tire width and compound is a huge part of the braking difference as well, six piston brembos on 15 inch rotors, stopping 3800 lbs in 107 feet? That means the Mustang definitely has a ferocious set of brakes already, it just needs more rubber on the ground to take more advantage of them.

[@ih8humanity]

Tech4Dummies Both are probably still coming from the factory with those crappy Pirelli P Zero tires. First thing to do with a stock Mustang or Camaro is replace those worthless things with better tires and sell the Pirellis to somebody's grandma. I swear GM and Ford must be getting those things damn near for free to keep putting that crap on their high performance cars.

[@tech4dummies584]

***** Yeah my rear pzeros were trashed on my '13 5.0 at 10k miles. Wear-marker city. I bought some Falken Fk453's, traction is just as good but they're $100+ cheaper per tire. They're still back there with 25k miles on it now. Bout ready to be replaced, but still, 15k miles of hard street abuse ain't bad for a relatively sticky (and cheap) summer tire that has good grip/traction and a 186 mph speed rating. The Pirellis aren't that bad but definitely not worth anywhere close to $330 a tire for a 255/40-19.

[@ronquishafarley5826]

Mustangs are a small crap car an over rated to some people , smh throw up car.

[@carblader4254]

What people are seeming to forget is that this new Mustang is in it's very first year while the Camaro is at the end of the generation. Of course the Camaro is going to be more refined handling wise. The old Corvette ZR1 is faster than the new Corvette C7. Rerun this comparison in a year or two and the results will be different I bet.

[@CholoMojica]

I sense butthurt.

[@davidmitchell5638]

carblader4254 dude i'm so sorry but how stupid are you to compare ZR1 to the new Corvette? its not about early or the end of the gen!! Ford promised this new Mustang will handle better than the BOSS 302! but she didn't:(

[@randomguy-z2l]

turbotimthree what company had to be bailed out twice with your tax dollars? Was it ford? No. It was GM, why? Because in order to satisfy the needs of their unions they have to use cheaper parts in their vehicles in order to make it profitable. Sorry, not trusting a GM product past 1970.

[@TheYBGOON]

carblader4254 Surely the new generation is supposed to be better than the old generation and its competitors at the same level. the zr1 has like over 600bhp and a c7 has 450 or abouts. In 2 years time there will be a new camaro and it will eat up any mustang. just like how the new c63 amy will eat up the m3 :p

[@jo23bulls]

That's the scary thing. Chevy has the new LT1 waiting for the new Camaro. Not to mention all the things learned with the engineering study with the z/28. Performance wise the next Camaro should be leaps and bounds over the old Gen.

[@MrManny999]

Before getting my 2015 car* I compared prices, comfort, handling, speed and overall feel of all 3 pony cars... Needless to say, I went with the camaro😎👌🏼 .. Better handling than challenger and mustangs, better feel of the engine as I take control of the streets from my hands on the steering wheel, and that sounds everyone seems to love .

Put the the same shocks, sway bar and tires on the Mustang,as on the Camaro. The Mustang wins. Remember the Camaro performance package is $1000.00 more than the Mustang. Add a $1000.00 dollars more to Mustangs performance package making it dollar for dollar equal.

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

Ford Racing has always offered suspension upgrades for the Mustang in 2 versions, Hard and Rock Hard, for around $1200 for anybody that can handle a wrench. Ford also made the Wheel Wells on the 2015 Mustang bigger for bigger brakes and tires.

[@nezerac]

EscapeforMankind I've wanted to see a mustang built like a z/28 for a while now. The Boss was the one that came the closest. I really wish ford would stop skimping on things like brakes and tires and factory suspensions and just build the car right the first time. I've also been wondering why haven't they built a real corvette killer yet? I'd like to see them bring back the thunderbird redefined into a a direct competitor instead of taking a mustang to the races and losing some more :/

[@Shane-Singleton]

I've been a Camaro owner for a long time. And in fact I still daily one. And while I wouldn't pick the Mustang GT over an SS (Because i just like the looks of the Camaro better) I am very impressed with how Ford did with the 2015 redesign. Especially FINALLY getting rid of that solid axle. I mean they did it on the 03/04 Cobra so they knew HOW to use one. I'm just surprised it took them so long to roll it into the main line. Honestly you can't go wrong with either car these days. The 5th Gen SS was an excellent car. The only reason I'm not still driving one is I upgraded to the ZL1.

[@thelightning1568]

Camaro Vs Mustang Which one is better? Which ever one your heart falls for .... Hopefully that will be a camaro

[@05gtdriver]

Much bigger, stickier tires, stiffer springs/shocks, no surprise the Camaro 1LE wins on a road course. The Mustang now has a better chance to equal whatever GMs equips the Camaro with, just a matter of Ford electing to put super stiff spring/shocks and expensive, wider and stickier tires. The platforms of each are now on equal footing, just a matter of Ford wanting to "extreme" the regular GT or just making the upcoming GT350 the all around extreme Mustang. Should be interesting to see what both manufacturers have up their sleeves......

[@HemiMike]

I agree. Mustang is on par with the camaro now. It probably needs inly a few tweeks to better it performance wise.

[@VoltLover00]

All the deficiencies you're pointing to (tires size/springs) were well known to Ford before the car was released, if it doesn't stack up, its Ford's fault, not some unanticipated advantage for the Camaro.

[@05gtdriver]

Volt Lover I never said the Camaro had an unfair advantage, just stating that Ford is not giving it's newest Mustang a package equivalent to what GM has bestowed the 1LE version of the Camaro SS. Let's not start a brand war............

[@VoltLover00]

1LE is the performace package for the Camaro SS, and they tested it against the performace package for the Mustang GT. If Ford's performance package doesn't measure up (its inferior), its Ford's fault. The 1LE package isn't new for 2015, its been around, Ford knew what they were up against. Its a valid comparison of the equivalent packages from the manufacturers.

[@ihatecrackhead]

Volt Lover Nope, Camaro has a performance option, a mild cam making 460hp, Ford won;t allow for testing against mustang Just like Ford refuses to allow a test between 1LE & BOSS mustang even though BOSS has an engine made from aftermarket parts, that are made standard by chevy on even V6 Camaro, like Drop Forged & Ball Peen Forged connecting rods

[@christophermclendon2208]

I knew the outcome before clicking the start icon.......... The 1LE is way more track prepared than the Performance Pkg GT . The 1LE is still a ZL-1 without the LSA engine and magnetic suspension . I would have like them to side test a 2013 Boss 302 just for comparison.

[@HemiMike]

was done, Boss Lost

[@christophermclendon2208]

Mike Camaro ...But in a previous video the SSLE also ran a quicker 0-60 mph of 4.3 sec ...............Different car / day /conditions.

[@HemiMike]

***** right.

[@christophermclendon2208]

***** ...I agree with you too a point sir . My problem with some comparisons is 75% of individuals don't take into account that many variables that effect the results. This is the results on this day with Motortrend . In these mean streets , owner skill and traction may present another outcome. I am not hurt by the results @ all , you win some lose some . Hear me out though ......The SS1LE has many changes that became available due to the ZL-1 suspension work & wheels. The 2015 Mustang is not utilizing the Shelby GT500 pieces and wheels . brakes etc . I am let down by the output as well of the mustang being that the 2012-'13 Boss 302 was under-rated @ 444 hp and 380 lb-ft . The 2016 Camaro will probably use the LT-1 and it has shown to be a BEAST in the Stingray Corvette and Ford will be playing catch-up in my opinion.

[@Vader96]

and without the supercharger. And the GT500 couldnt really give the GT much suspension because it wasnt a track focused car. the ZL1 is mainly a track focused car. And with the 1LE, ZL1, they are both Chevy and work close. While the GT and GT500 is Ford and Shelby. They are kind of close, but again, the GT500 has nothing special when it comes to track performance, just HP

[@Countryguy5967]

My main issue with the camaro is that you can't see out if the damn thing. it's like looking through the slot of a WWII bunker. With that, it's nice to have the bigger engine. But with how Ford has done their 5.0 DOHC 32 valve, it's just hard to say no. If Chevy did a DOHC instead of their OHC, then they would get more power and more people would go looking for one. And finx the visibility!

[@Countryguy5967]

[@halfthe]

[@EddyTorrent]

I'm more of a Mustang guy. but I respect the Camaro to the highest degree still. The Camaro performs better, but I just love character and look of Mustangs more so. plus Mustang was my first car xD

[@ITRIEDEL]

I had 6 mustangs, my most recent one was a brand new '12 5.0. I sold it and got a brand new '14 Camaro SS 1LE. It's a great car and I love it 5x better than my 5.0. I saw the new mustangs and was thinking about getting one in that dark highland green looking color. After watching this, I decided I'm going to keep my 1LE :).

[@ITRIEDEL]

I feel like my 5.0 was quicker in straight line but I think that's because the softer suspension on the 5.0 plus the 1LE has a taller transmission ratio. The handling doesn't even make sense on the 1LE. The car is so big, but it handles like no car I've ever owned. I've had imports like Nissan Spec V's to Corvettes and the 1LE takes the crown for handling. The 1LE also looks so sinister. I always get looks and thumbs up. If you get a Camaro, don't buy it without the 1LE box checked. Totally worth the. 3500. I'm going to lower it an inch in a few weeks.

[@RyanTomScott]

The color your talking about is called Guard. Weird name for a color, but it's the best looking color on it. :)

[@ITRIEDEL]

I agree. My 08 Bullitt was highland green and it reminded me of it. I loved that car. Probably my favorite of all the cars I've ever owned.

[@Trades46]

It feels like a different engineering philosophy; the SS 1LE is obviously derived from the GT3-esque Z28. Chevrolet spent a big budget developing that car and the results are very good. The Mustang Performance pack feels like a standard 5.0 GT with a hint of extras. It wasn't derived from a GT500 or the Boss 302, which probably gives it a more street oriented character than that of the Camaro 1LE. Apples to Oranges; should have compared the SS & GT in base model form, or waited for a new Boss Mustang.

[@TheDonta99]

Exactly my point too, I rather they take a 2014 boss and run it against this 1LE... And anyone with common sense would know that too... They took a loaded up 2015 Mustang GT and ran it against this 1LE... A stupid comparison if you ask me why not run stock for stock I'm sure the outcome would waive the other direction lol...

[@V8Supercar1]

Your comment is exactly correct. The Camaro SS used to have a performance package. But then GM decided to go more hardcore, thats when this 1LE trim model came along.

[@V8Supercar1]

TheDonta99 I don't know. Ford claimed the new Mustang GT bested the boss on the track. Notice the word "claimed".

[@Trades46]

V8Supercar1 Nissan also said the Nismo best the 911 GT3 on the track, yet rumors has it the "time attack car" had noticeably different settings vs. the road-going model. I have a sneaking suspicion Ford 'tweaked' a "time attack car" vs. the Boss 302 or just marketing stepped in and softened up the "Performance Pack" because they believe people will buy it because they are trying to compensate for 'something' then later b**** about the ride & harshness to afterwards.

[@V8Supercar1]

BANANAHAMMER420 Oh look. Another ignorant name calling fool. What a surprise? But anyway, show me the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Camaro 1LE.

[@Linknelson]

10 years later and these both look even sexier when they came out. The 1Le 5th gen is an underrated car. Ford definitely nailed it with the first S550. Both will be diamonds in the rough in about 15 years.

[@ItsumiSensei]

The Mustang's flaws like a lack of tire footprint and poor suspension setup are relatively cheap to modify to your liking. In contrast.. The Camaro's whole interior being reupholstered so it feels like a 40K car wouldn't be a very cheap modification. Plus the Camaro is just face lifted, the mustang is an actual brand new, updated car.

Chevy paid them to have the camaro win and to make it best drivers car which is probably the worst drivers car they couldve chosen. The Mustang is wayy better inside and out, power wise and style wise. Thats why they sell more... Carlos is either a heavy chevy fanboi or chevy paid them to make their car win because the Mustang is the better car and the Mustang deffinitily should have one. It does in every other auto journalists book.

[@notasolution]

***** fair enough. But I agree, alright the camaro performance pack is a better track car but chevys completely missing the point. First of all, the mustang and camaro are only supposed to be good in a straight line, thats theyre heritage. Its great if they can do both straight line performance (which the mustang wins at) and still be a track car but it also needs to be a daily driver which the camaro would be quite difficult and uncomfortable to have as. People dont think of camaros and mustangs when they want a track car, lmao. Chevy is just in the wrong ballpark. The Mustang on the other hand covers all the bases with styling, performance and actual practicality that you could easily use a daily driver and yet have some fun and use it as a toy (that will out perform the camaro) whenever you want which is why the Mustang is the better car. The Mustang is better, Ford actually made a predecessor that goes back to the original mustangs heritage and yet can do everything right. The camaros chevys attempt at a scion frs with an engine swap, its not what the cars supposed to be lmao. in my book and im sure in numbers quite soon, Ford won.

Kenny, you need to grow up an pay attention to the facts. The Camaro performance models have been chosen over Mustang by pretty much every automotive we site out there. That's their opinion after driving in a heads up comparison. If you haven't been keeping up with the 2015 Z/28 reviews, then you need to start now. You hurt feeling aren't a substitute for the facts. Camaro is the better drivers car.

[@notasolution]

Ron LHeureux being the best track car and being the best drivers car are two completely different things Ron. Chances are if youre strictly a track car, you cant be the best drivers car, strictly track cars are unpracticle, uncomfortable and pretty much undesirable. You might think its the best drivers car but you cant drive it for more than 15 minutes.

[@ronlheureux7623]

If you ever watch one of the many heads up reviews on a variety of internet automotive sites, the you would know that the Camaro SS is the better street driving car. Things like flat cornering without under or oversteer matter even on the street. Stability and predictability are desirable in either circumstance. I think you should find Randy Probts driving impressions while behind the wheel of a Z/28 on the Laguna Seca raceway. Your opinion will be changed. Camaros are much more predictable than any Mustang. That includes the Shelby 500. That car took much, much more effort to handle turn. It was faster in the straight, though the brakes began fading in no time. The Camaro has zero brake fading issues. In the end, the track time for both was nearly the same. Bottom line: The Camaro required far less effort, particularly in turns. The 500's HP advantage helped it overall.

[@devonte3062]

I think the main point in this video that most people are missing is that the GT performance package is just that a PERFORMANCE PACKAGE not a "track package" as he listed the upgrades from it it just seemed really drag strip oriented which, in my personal opinion is what you buy a muscle car for. The 1LE package, lets be honest it's for track type racing. In fact the entire car is oriented towards the track due to things like "flying car mode" even as rediculous as it sounds it's very good for bumpy tracks whereas the GT has line-lock, this feature to me screams "IM A DRAG CAR".

I'm what most of you muscle car guys would call a ricer(I drive a pretty fucking low FRS), and if someone told me to pick one of these, I couldn't. The mustang seems like the way better option for a daily car, but if you're a track junkie I would go with the camaro. Aesthetically the mustang look much better from the back and from the side. Kind of iffy about those headlights. Lol maybe the after market will fix that eye sore. But from the front the camaro is so much more pissed off looking, so mean specially with the white body and the black/cf? Hood. Don't know much about mustangs or camaros, but I always hear about 5.0 guys making some serious power gains with just basic bolt ons. Idk, I'm leaning more towards the mustang on this one.

[@des..]

Ford Mustang my favourite car!

[@standoffsiren0269]

What the FUCK is this? Every single review I have read, have not been biased like you pricks. Every single one has said that there is no understeer. The only time the rear would step out is when you told it to. Also, every single one said that it puts it's power down well. Top Gear(Magazine) said that "it puts its power down like it has worms". Ford should stop giving cars to them. Same with Dodge. Motor Trend is basically just a huge circus for Chevrolet advertisement.

[@atahanozaydin]

I would prefer Mustang too, but no need to be disrespectful. At least we get free content. No need to be a fanboy. And about the worms thing. If you have worms, your ass gets itched. You always try to scratch your ass on the chair you sit. You wiggle. That's what the aggressive diff does to the Mustang. Makes it oversteer.

[@fawaz1165]

not a surprise they show us the z28 betting a gtr black edition lol, they have their history in fabrication.

[@CardiacAtttack]

StandoffSiren02 Oversteer is what happens when the back steps out of line, you can see the Mustang doing it in the video. Also Top Gear is the most biased car magazine in existence and they literally have no idea what they're talking about. Top Gear magazines thinks that wheel horsepower is the same as horsepower at the flywheel. MT definitely isn't biased towards GM they've made honest comparisons that are backed up by other magazines. Anyone who says MT is biased towards GM is just a butt hurt fanboy. They were comparing track performance so it's obvious why the 1LE won this test. Day to day the GT wins.

[@24thMandark]

fawaz1165 The Z28 slaughtered the GTR and if you read Car and Drivers lightning lap from this year you'd see that is totally justified as it beat all but 1 GTR the nismo.

[@CardiacAtttack]

fawaz1165 Other magazine's test data backs up MototrTrend's tests. The Z/28 is a very capable car. It was only a tenth of a second off of a Ferrari F12 in C&D 2014 lightning lap test as well.

[@USASPORTSCARDS]

As someone who ordered a 2015 Mustang GT with track pack and red interior, this review is disappointing. I was expecting it to handle great, not understeer and bounce around. My expectations were to high it seems, however Ford marketing did really "hype" this car up with a ton of claims including that it would beat a boss on the track; and there is nothing comparable when it comes down to performance for the price. I may still get the Mustang, but the nostalgia of it all has suddenly disappeared. I don't like the Camaro for some reason, it is an unusual feeling of dislike and disgust I have towards that car for some reason. Right now I was wishing I had enough money to be able to afford cars slightly pricier than these two like : -Base V6 f-type coupe. -BMW M3/4 -Mercedes C63 AMG coupe - Mercedes CLA45 AMG (maybe) -

[@TheDonta99]

Look you really have to understand how these reviews go and pay attention to what they really say, I don't think this comparison was really fair they took basically a 1LE SS on steroids with all these loaded up track options and ran it against a Mustang GT with the track pak option which is not much to write home about, when compared to the options on the Camaro with a thousand dollars more in parts add on mind you , not to mention all the loaded up heavy options they added to the mustang this is not truly a track worthy contender to even compete with the Boss 302 which mind you was scaled down and didn't have as nearly as many options as one of these so called GT's come with, be glad you're purchasing a 2015 Mustang GT... Just wait for a real comparison between the 2 cars I'm talking base GT and base SS trust me the out come will be different... And this is coming from a happy 2012 mustang 5.0 owner Cheers...

[@BeanieNinjay0]

Price as tested: the mustang was more expensive by 5k....the biggest disappointment about the new mustang is the increase in weight. How is the mustang going to compete with Camaro when it was been completely remodeled and can't beat the Camaro in its current form? Realistically, the mustang with its redesign should have easily beat the Camaro in nearly every category. The Camaro is about to get a new, supposedly lighter chassis. I'm sure ford will have to hit the drawing board sooner than they think

[@O2TG]

TheDonta99 As a Ford guy myself, you're lying to your self right now. Don't be mad at Chevy because they offer a better track pack than Ford does. This isn't a "1LE on steroids" it's the 1LE package, everything on the test car is standard with that package. I'm seriously disappointed with the new Mustang, an to make matters worse, it's 5k more than the 1LE! Guess I'm sticking with my 2014.

[@CJLink96]

OFF2theGYM No the performance pack for the mustang is cheaper. The overall cost of the mustang that they tested was 5k more because they had all the stuff like premium interior, and probably all the other options. I customized a 2015 mustang on the ford website and did it with just the track pack and a few other options and it was under 40k

[@ryancrow2876]

Alex Connor it would beat it in every category if it wasnt for GM suddenly putting race tires on everything to get a slight edge on the stang. those tires cost a lot and need constant replacing due to being soft youll spend thousands more over the life of the car just to slightly edge out a stang.

[@duro845]

Almost 4000 lbs that's ridiculous. Performance car weighing 4k is crazy

[@lesher27]

Europeans always ridicule Americans for driving mainly automatics but they fail to realize that OUR sports cars still have manuals, unlike a lot of theirs. Also, while you would think these cars would mash up, technically they don't. Yeah sure they are both performance packs, but as Randy said, "This 1LE is basically a z/28 that's not as fast". A better comparison would be a Boss 302 if they ever make another one.. That being said, GM is light years ahead of Ford right now in terms of performance with cars like the C7, ZL1, Z/28, 1LE, and Cadillac CTS Vsport.

[@lesher27]

***** im saying a new boss 302

[@lesher27]

I suppose. The 1LE is just a bargain and it makes the ford look way overpriced.

[@Digiphex]

With the Camaro being "Government Motors" which stole money from me, it already has a strike against it. But trying not to be biased, I would take the Mustang by far anyway. Maybe because I had an old Camaro and to me, the new one looks like someone took an air pump to my '69 Camaro and pumped it up with Air. It is like a party balloon version of the original. The Mustang looks slimmer than past models and the fastback looks extremely nice.

[@justinbustin677]

When the bankers crashed the economy, they bought ford's name and refused to loan money to GM or chrysler, why cause they had ford's name, so they wanted to put ALL OTHER AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS OUT OF BUSINESS and make tons of money from ford's name WHICH company was helping the sleezy banker do this, FORD! the sleezy bankers printed OUR money, but only for Ford, why is ford in the bed with bankers? Good thing the Government stepped or Mustang GT would still be 300hp!

[@Digiphex]

ihatecrackhead Well, first of all, bankers do not print money. Secondly, there were no bankers that crashed any economy, it was the socialist policies which forced banks to give loans to people who couldn't make payments and had no business in a house. Then government ratholes like Fannie Mae sold those bad loans and "securitized" them. Accompanied by the Fed holding interest rates artificially low, this crashed the economy. Getting back to the subject of cars, Ford did not take the bailout money and GM did. It was my money that I worked hard for, 50 billion all told. Any company that makes the Pontiac Aztec SHOULD go bankrupt.

[@nyelement007]

that camaro was sweet you gotta admit how smooth it was on the racetrack. the mustang was just a big mess. only faster by .1 tenth of a second and what 1.7mph? not really worth it to me unless your only gonna drag race. camaro wins all around better car period.

[@zzzhuh]

thisguy177 It was slower than the Camaro actually. I personally prefer the 05-07 mustangs the most. That style pays more tribute to the older 66-69 version which happens to be my favorite. The Camaro seems to have parts borrowed from the C7 which is why it is more practical on the track.

[@nyelement007]

zzzhuh i like the front end of the camaro the lights and hood. the backend dont look too bad either. idk why either car is called ugly really to be honest. but the front of the new mustang too modern and its got that stupid euro look to it. you like that?

thisguy177 Meh, it's alright. The grill looks similar to an Aston Martin (gee I wonder why.) I don't think either is ugly, but I think it is nice to see both car's being able to take corner's 'properly.' No one in the 60's would of ever though there would be a day.

It edged out the stang with what .02 on the skid pad? You people who argue over this shit are just stupid. When it comes down to that little it no longer becomes about the car. It is now a drivers race. 99% of people who own these cars will not see the times these pro drivers are putting up. This years Camaro and Mustang is all about personal preference. If you really think stock times matter then you aren't a real sports car person. If your mustang or camaro stays stock for longer than a month your doing it wrong. I could buy that stang buy some nicer tires, and 1 bolt on and be faster than the camaro in every category, that is how close it is. Hell i may not even need the bolt on, the tested tired on the stang are not as good as the camaros. To me the Mustang wins mostly because the interior. It is so much nicer inside and you can actually see out of it! The Camaro feels cheap. You cant see shit out of the small windshield and the A pillars are massive! Not a good combo for a car your doing 100+ on the track in. Seriously though, the people who get all mad and verbally assault others over track time are just sad. It is all about having fun with what you choose and respecting others choices.

And was marginally slower than the 2013 gt500 excuse for a performance car, again on a road course. Now if you are comparing which car can load up the most grocery bags then mustnag takes that category. However, as a performance car, we both know Camaro sweeps all important categories, easily. And is still the only real track ready car from the big three in this class. Don't waste my time with the gt350 disaster. If you can't reliably go to a road course, run hard all day long without something falling off, go into limp mode (LOL), or eat an engine/trans/diff and come home in the car you drove there (riding in it on a flatbed doesn't count) well it isn't track ready.

saying engine size isn't fair is a load of crap. HP is HP no matter what! GM is proving once again the engine doesn't hardly matter at all. they build AROUND what they already have. the Ford 5.2 is a decent motor sure. the GT350R beat the Z in the ring by like what... 5 seconds? lol the Z did it in wet pavement and has already been stated that the Z can easily achieve a 7:34 on the ring. so that would make the GT350R with it's special flat crank 5.2 that has 50 more HP only 2 seconds faster around the ring. if I'm not mistaken that 350R hasn't beaten the Z in a race yet! got beat on its debut race by none other than the Z28. AND GM is gonna be making another one with this new platform of camaro? lol yeah... it's about to get real.

[@reidmurnan6708]

Ever heard of driver vs driver? Camaro driver has been racing for 27 years. 350 driver has been for 5 And also let me add that ford already said they are putting out another mustang in 2016 with a re turned IRS and an extra 90hp

[@cliffordpurk5039]

Reid Murnan dude 5 years to 27 years makes no difference. Plenty of drivers in the world that have accomplished more or the same as drivers of triple the experience. The only thing Ford is doing is ensuring that any new model performance track capable camaro is gonna beat it if Ford keeps producing bigger and badder mustangs before GM releases anything to match it. I'm not hating or anything it's just...why throw aop your eggs n one basket so quickly instead of waiting for the competition so you can achieve something better?

[@G8GTJav]

Wow, a little surprised and disappointed that the fully loaded Mustang weighed almost as much as the Camaro and was almost 5K more expensive. I think a smart buyer should probably wait a year or two and/or buy a stripped down 5.0 and head to the aftermarket for suspension. I believe Ford engineers said their benchmark was the Boss 302 and they exceeded it. Doesn't appear so based on the review, at least regarding driving dynamics. Also, I hear wheel-hop is an issue with the new IRS at the strip. It is the first year of the design, however, and, if I recall, Motor Trend had similar complaints with the Camaro when it was first re-released. GM has been refining year by year and now we have the 1LE and Z/28 as a result. It will be interesting to see what Ford does with the upcoming GT350. Maybe they'll actually release the Nurburgring lap times this time.

[@GrandTourer164]

The camaro is an infinitely worse thing to live with day to die because of the far stiffer ride and horrid visibility. Drove a friend's 2013 SS, compared it to a 2015 GT I was looking at. On the road the difference is night and day in favor for the mustang.

[@harampug9150]

You just compared a 2013 car with a 2015 car

[@GrandTourer164]

Twenty ™ On the market they are priced similarly, both are around 26-28k. The new camaro is obviously faster but has even worse visibility if that was even possible, the only redeeming feature being the backup camera. 3.9 to 60 means nothing if I don't want to drive it daily, I'll take a half second off the pace for a more livable car, nobody tracks a base SS or GT.

I hated the front and side visibility in the old Camaro but I don't mind it in the new Camaro. You should test drive a 2016 SS with the stick!

Chevy made the Camaro, just to compete with the Mustang, as lewd as it sounds, a pony car competing with a muscle car.

They were competing back then, but it wasn't as obsurd as it is today.

[@TheCamaro5]

The sad thing is that FORD when benchmarking and tuning their new Mustang made a specific choice to not compare and test it against the Camaro. Why? Either they have their head in the sand or are trying to down play the performance advantage of Chevy, in both case they are losing face and the battle. Sad. Let me ask Ford, did you really think because you've decided that the New Mustang was in another league then the Camaro that 50 years of Magazine comparisons would stop? nice dream, welcome to the reality.

Jeff F Since the Mustang 2005, there has not been much style added to the Mustang. The ones before '05 looked more sporty like the ones you mentioned.

Regardless of what you think of the design it's self, there's no denying that Mustang has always provided the best and most reliable engines ever made in muscle. Ford overall does it right.

That's just my opinion.

[@DaftDucktool]

ihatecrackhead Um the only supercars that makes over 1000hp are the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Agera and Koenigsegg One:1. If you think those use an LS engine you are terribly mistaken. Also, if you are thinking in layman's terms, the NHRA dragsters use a modified Chrysler elephant engine and make over 4000hp. Again not an LS engine. But please do give me some examples as I seriously have no idea what supercars make over 1000hp and use and LS engine. And how is something engineered by Germans necessarily a bad thing? Any American car these days isn't really American anymore. Ford is mostly European now, GM is mostly Canadian and Mexican, and Chrysler is just confused.

Everyone complaining the the Camaro's tires from the ZL1 gave it an unfair advantage, yada yada yada, no, not at all. Motor Trend was comparing two cars that were spec'd equally from the manufacturer. If Ford does not give the GT adequate tires, that is Ford's fault and problem, not Motor Trend's. Motor Trend is testing the cars as they came from the manufacturer. If Ford drops the ball, then that is why they lost. In testing two performance cars, the Camaro wins based on the advantage given to it by Chevrolet.

that is so typical gm ppl ignorance,i wonder if u said the same if ford gave is so agresive tiers like on z28?i bet not dont u wonder why they took thouse "performenc packs" - because normal ss lost even to last mustang model one more thing ,ask your self about a detail that this annoying hipster mention:"is it posible that despite caling similar are aim at difrent targets?" for example fords pack is a sharper roud car and camaro pack makes it a track car? before droping verdicts lets remember that boss 302 equvilalent (which will be the true track versin) is yet to come

[@DIYAmateurHour]

Although your English is terrible, I will still correct your errors. The SS and the GT are the equivalent cars, the Camaro had its 1LE package and the Mustang had its equivalent, therefore, the cars were matched as evenly as possible by their manufactures. You say "normal ss lost to even last mustang model," I say, prove it kid, you talk a lot. Even if themustang have different targets, you saw the tests in this video, overall the Camaro was better everywhere. The fact that you say the Mustang is a "roud" car is irrelevant, because they tested the cars on a ROAD COURSE. Therefore, as you say, the mustang is set up as a road car, and the camaro as a track car, the camaro still one on the road course. The Boss 302 is Ford's attemp to compete with the ZL1, so there is no room for that argument here. Class dismissed.

SonicDriver24 Although its a tube coment,full of shortcuts u nit pick... gt500 was the one that WON with ZL1, whou do u kidding 1le felt beter on hard canion driving cuz of the same things that made it a track car "roud car" as more comfortable more every day even randy said so. u like a bling horse - just because MT compare them dosent mean they compeat with each other,ford moust sertanly never make it compeat witl 1le "I say, prove it kid, you talk a lot." im a ford blocke we are men of our word unlike GM redneck liers /watch?v=aB4vfZDYyO8 /watch?v=mVVzt2QfS7E /watch?v=mVC9fZfp4GQ /watch?v=uOwSPccbzl4 /watch?v=d04eIfUrH2Q camaro was not beter everywher ,they didnt even do so much in the reviev to call is everything,if any thing: THAT camaro is beter in performance driving than THAT mustnag

[@ryancrow2876]

ford didnt give it sticky tires because they cost a ton and need constant replacing because they're so soft. camaro owners leave the dealership with a huge smile (after paying 2500$ more than a stang for virtually the same performance) then after a couple months of driving they're gonna say oh shit, these tires cost thousands and ill need new ones every few months. fuck.

[@ryancrow2876]

SonicDriver24 how was it better everywhere? the mustang was faster in a straight line and had better interior, dramatically better gas mileage, etc. only thing the camaro had was slightly better track performance due to expensive race tires.

[@shaine2243]

why no 2016 SS Camaro vs 2016 Mustang GT video from motortrend yet? I love these comparison videos. both are awesome cars

[@clickman77]

Put the same tires on the cars dipsh*ts. I see Race Tires on the Camaro and pretty normal looking radials on the GT. Those tires wouldn't last 5k miles on the Camaro.

[@Dolby109]

The 1LE comes with summer performance tires...the same as the Fiesta ST, Focus ST, and........Mustang GT Track Pack.

[@clickman77]

1LE comes with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G: 2 285/35ZR-20 (100Y) and the Track Pack Mustang comes with Pirelli P Zero F: 255/40ZR-19 96Y R: 275/40ZR-19 101Y. The Camaro has a wider tire which is classified as extreme performance tire whereas the Mustang has a thinner tire front tire which is classified as a Max Performance summer. Close but no cigar IMO. I just think Motor Trend has a severe GM bias even though there product has been subpar, they still give them accolades.

[@cheezenug]

Yeah I mean I kind of get your point but it's not really a point. I realize tires make a huge difference in all performing aspects of the car. I'm an engineer for Ford and I competitive wheel to wheel road race but the fact here is that the OEM tire choice IS part of the car. And this evaluation is for the as-purchased car. It was Ford and Chevy's choice to pick their rubber for the performance packages knowing shoot-outs like this would happen. The playing field is perfectly level.

[@Dolby109]

clickman77 I guess MT's GM bias was really showing when they praised the Fiesta ST (and also picked it 5th best drivers car in a field of mostly $100k + cars). The fact is Chevy really has their suspension well setup with the Corvette and Camaro (1LE/ZL1/Z28). The 1LE here set a better lap time than the BMW M4...it took more than just tires to do that.

[@Dolby109]

***** So what kind of stuff work/design?

[@RomaneMaticaliseGordon]

Mustang all day everyday

[@gt_mustang_mark]

Hell yeah, dude. Agreed.

[@SomeOne-vf1rs]

It's funny how it's named after a horse.... Yet has less horsepower than the Camaro, the obviously superior car.

[@EcHoOzZ_]

My corvette will destroy you Gaystang

[@gt_mustang_mark]

Corvettes are small & ugly, I'll take a Mustang ANY day over them.

[@JHanlon22-11]

EchoBeast 315 OK shitvette

[@Starky513]

Disappointed Ford. You made it smaller and more refined in every way, but you couldn't keep the weight down. I'd love to see the normal GT compared with the SS just to see the difference between the track packs.

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

He said the car was much stronger and more rigid.

[@Starky513]

EscapeforMankind Which is why I said more refined.

[@mobst4r1]

It's because of the independent rear suspension.

[@bangcupid007]

Nice episode. However it should be noted that this type of outright racing is not something a consumer would do on a daily basis. Of course, it puts a smile every time someone does that but most of the times people would be driving in the city, to work, for shopping etc and then, you would want to be in car with better interiors and decent equipment. I really don't understand why Camaro sticks to that cheap claustrophobic interiors and hope they change it soon. But for now for all practical purposes, I think Mustang is the best bet. Just my opinion.
