What is bigger the Chevrolet Camaro or the Ford Mustang?
The Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are almost exactly the same size, the Mustang being only one inch taller than the Camaro. The two vehicles are extremely close in size, although what matters more than space and size is their 0 to 60 times on the V8 engines. The Ford Mustang goes 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds with its 5.0 liter V8 while the Chevrolet Camaro 6.2L 0 to 60 mph time is 4.3 seconds. This means that with the lighter engine, the Mustang is able to get up to speed faster than the Camaro. The next question is how fast are the supercharged versions of these vehicles? The Camaro is fast, but not as fast as a Shelby GT500 which gets 0 to 60 in a whopping 3.4 seconds. The Camaro Z28 gets 0 to 60 mph in a speedy 4 seconds, but it just does not compare to the 3.4 seconds, which for your information is faster than a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 that goes 0 – 60 in 3.7 seconds. The only other Ford engine that compares is the Ford Raptor R, because it is the same engine as used in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
What is better on gas the Ford Mustang or the Chevrolet Camaro?
The Ford Mustang is slightly better on gas than the Chevrolet Camaro. If you are looking for the most savings at the pump, then the best gas mileage you can get between the two coupes is the four cylinder EcoBoost Mustang engine. This engine gets 22 mpg in town and 34 mpg out on the highway, while the comparable Camaro engine gets 22 in town as well and only 32 mpg on the highway. However, if you are looking for a better gas mileage for a V8 engine, well firstly you might want to be looking at a different set of vehicles, but the Camaro is more gas efficient than the Mustang with V8 engines. The Camaro V8 on the high end, gets 26 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg in town. The Mustang V8 gets 15 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the highway. Again, if you are looking for V8 muscle car to have better gas mileage, you may want to try and find a different vehicle group to look at.
Which is better the Ford Mustang or the Chevrolet Camaro?
We prefer the Ford Mustang to the Chevrolet Camaro. This is because the Ford Mustang is the quintessential muscle car, and one of the few that we know will keep the tradition well into the next few generations. On the interior, the Camaro can be a little bit stale. With a slightly boring dash and less than stellar interior design, the Camaro feels less flashy than we want in a sports car. On the other hand the second you sit in a Mustang, the racetrack beckons. The dashboard is less than basic and is focused on offering a traditional muscle car experience. On top of offering a superior sports car experience, the Camaro is just a tiny bit slower than the Mustang across the board and for that reason we prefer the Mustang over the Camaro.
