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.

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

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

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.

This was the golden era of MT. And H2H. Rip

[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.

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

2015 Muscle Car Appearance's

This is my opinion, not yours, but feel free to express yours

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.

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

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.

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!

I RECENTLY DROVE A 2013 SS CAMARO. WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT. STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT. ANYBODY WHO BUYS A CAMARO WILL REGRET IT. THE MISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE IS BUYING THESE CARS WITHOUT TEST DRIVING THEM. WARNING: BEFORE YOU BUY A CAMARO TEST DRIVE IT. IT'S A  GUARANTEE YOU WILL THANK ME.

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.

[skooli]

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.

[carblader]

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.

[TonyisToking]

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.

Motor trend isn't biased with Chevrolet. Chevrolet just make better cars than ford does. Enough said :)

[nezerac]

I'm a ford man...and I saw this coming a mile away....so why are people still bitching? GM's been on their shit, mustang has the most monstrous after market so Ford, as they always HAVE done, decided to make a good street car instead of a good track car. How can ANYONE be shocked by this?
