You really have to see the new Mustang in person. It’s beautiful.
Ford, you done goofed. Not only is it heavier, but uglier too!
And you actually think Ford doesn’t know that haaha they can easily bump
the power of the 5.0L to 450Hp to match the new LT1 powered Camaro.
the new GT350R already destroyed the z/28’s time by 5 seconds around the
nurburgring. GM doesn’t have a naturally aspirated engine that can match
Ford’s new 5.2L flat plane crank V8. That engine is a beast!!! Lol Ford has
once again showed the US who is the king of performance.
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
When the shelby comes out. Iv seen the car in action….if theses guys test
it And the camaro wins ……lmao…..Ull know where they’re funding comes
from…lol
To me the new mustang is a flop. I saw the concepts and was thoroughly
impressed, but then I see the final version and the looks are more like a
family sedan than a 2+2 sports car. And such a big deal is made over the
new IRS and it still gets stepped all over by a much older Camaro in need
of a redesign. Ford Fanboys always say “It was built for straight line”
like that is a valid argument. You gain only a tenth in the quarter over
the Camaro and it pounds you in every other performance category. Ford
could have done a lot better with this one. We shouldn’t have to pay the
big bucks for the Shelby to get a good performance car. Now let the Fanboy
rants begin.
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.
im a mustang guy, but what the fuck was ford thinking with this new
design….barf
Am I the only one that thinks the older Mustangs looked better?
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.
Shelby GT 500 would kick the Z28’s ass though.
Let the hate begin.

15 Mustang is just ugly now. The only one’s buying it are the loyal pony
buyers that feel obligated to buy one even though it just doesn’t look good
anymore. The fact is many would rather buy a newer uglier model than go to
a sworn enemy in GM or Dodge.
Camaro is for people who want more than just .1 faster in the quarter mile.
*2015 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS*
Who will win the American muscle rivalry?
#HeadtoHead #Ford #Mustang #Chevrolet #Chevy #Camaro #CamaroSS +Ford Motor
Company +Chevrolet #HotLaps
I’m a mustang guy, but I’m buying a Camaro SS. ;)
That new camaro is ass ugly, more than the stang. Trying to hard. To much
technology, if anyone can agree the most recent best looking stang and
performance has to be the 03/04 cobra. Simple, easy to work on, easy to
drive. And oh that IRS and cast iron block, the market for mods for that
generation is plentiful and very available. You see to many of the 06′ and
up camaros and mustangs. The last time I saw a beautiful cobra on the road
was about a year ago. It’s rare to see and has character. Not played out
Even just by watching the Camaro track you can tell its a more refined
driver’s machine but with some Mad Max thrown in, you can hear the quicker
gear throws and listen to how quick it all synch’s up, the engine sounds
like a toothy beast ready to slap its trap on anything less than what it
is, it makes the Mustang sound like a little boy’s toy to be honest, you
can see how unrefined and sloppy the Mustang is compared to it, not to
mention the looks of the Mustang. I was never really into the looks of the
Camaro but this is one beast of a car and it has done it’s homework in
comparison to the Mustang. Nice GM.
The SS got quicker, the GT got slower. lol… I’ll take a 2013/2014 5.0,
doing 0-60 in 4.4, 1/4 in 12.7, add a ProCharger, intake, exhaust, tune and
some stickier, wider meat out back. Will be running mid 11’s no problemo.
Pretty sure 90% of people who own these cars don’t go to a track anyway, so
all that extra handling is pure bunk, and it’s not like the Mustang is some
sort of terrible handing car to begin with… lol… I do like the way the
new Camaro looks a LOT better, however…
Gm hasnt stepped up there game. They just come out with alot of cars at
once. Thats why there beating most cars. The gt350 and the new shelby hasnt
come out. Thats whats going to change america perspective about ford. The
gt could of definitely done better but i think it was just the tires that
it had in this video that needed a change. Most of what i can say is that
if you buy a gm vehicle you wont be as happy as if you were to buy a ford.
Gm has more expensive vehicles that aren’t worth the money such as gmc
vehicles. Just go to ford and buy a luxurious vehicle for thousands less.
The mustang always dominates the camaro. Gm is just scared that ford will
come up with something better. Thats why there always making cars left and
right. The camaro just came out this year. Now there making another for
2016. That proves that they cant hold their game.
Idk which looks worse, the new camaro or the new charger
I’m a CAR guy. Not an oval or bowtie guy. I like both…however, this
review sounds REALLY biased…
Too bad the Mustang turned out to be an even bigger fat-ass than the older
ones, and not the lighter, nimbler one we were hoping for. Worse weight
distribution too.
At least the rear end isn’t as hideous as the previous generation. And the
Camaro, fair or not, just can’t shake its cheeseball image. Chevy should
have gone to a truly retro design and made the smaller, lighter car that
Ford failed to deliver, while upgrading its interior. Come on, GM, why is
your driving experience so tacky and rattle-infested?
“Do this have a pussy magnet?”
-Borat
motor trend is always chevy biased though
Winning just by an inch..Now which will u choose..?! The 2K15 Model..!!
Ehh the mustang looks to much like an Aston Martin from certain angles.
Ford has designed a fake European car. /: when will they learn?
FORD = Fuck Old Retarded Dinosaurs
Great comparison. Congrats to the Camaro. They covered all important points
about both cars
Camaro looks dated, cheap and crappy in and out. gt350 will murder the
chevrolet, with its flatplane crank v8
What else would you expect from General Motor trend? The Camaro wins ALL
episodes, bought and paid for by Government Motors.
The fact of the matter is, both are cool, but I’ll still take the Camaro.
And I’ve seen both up close, thanks to the Ford & Chevy dealers where I
live.
I’ve had a white 1LE pass me on the street as they shift into 3rd and blow
me away with that sweet Exhaust blip from the quad tips.
It surprises me that the GT would cost almost 5 grand more than a 1LE which
is basically an SS with a bunch of ZL1 parts, performance suspension of
front & rear stabilizer bars, 3.91 gears, a 6-speed, ZL1 wheels/tires &
good brakes.
L.A. has a lot of straight streets, but once you leave Downtown, you gotta
make turns, especially in urban neighborhood areas in L.A. County and lots
of other cities that have curves and winding uphill and downhill roads.
Even the freeways have curves with cars going past 90 MPH when no highway
patrol or cameras are around.
I’d really like a GT painted in Highland Green to tribute Steve McQueens
1967 Fastback AKA BULLITT.
And a Black 1LE for when I take my McQueen sport coat off.
I think Motor Trend has a slight bias toward Chevy and some reasons are
that in this review he did mention that the mustang gained a lot of weight
in its generation switch at 1:42 and said that there was a slight weight
difference but he failed to make cleat that the mustang gained independent
rear suspension and was STILL lighter than the camaro. At 2:05 you can see
that the tire width and compound is way more aggressive on the camaro then
the mustang, but after the lap times he didn’t state the obvious of why the
camaro was faster. Also he did say that they were both there respective
track pack so the playing field was level but there was a $5,000 price gap
and the camaro is obviously much more of a track car and the mustang was
pretty much standard with a few add-on race bits. Lastly in the Best
Drivers Car a camaro won. I’m not saying that a camaro can never win but it
did beat a Porsche 911 turbo, which was clearly much more driver focused,
and yet they didn’t say why it was so much better than the Porsche or the
Alfa
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.
I’ve been around since Camaro TPI’s and Mustang 5.0’s (Fox Body) went down
on the streets. In today’s terms, “Turd” is the best description those ever
received. To see how much they’ve changed is an understatement… They’ve
revolutionized! What we spent HOURS of work on upgrading, they now offer
for a certain sticker price…
The Reason why that Mustang loss of because the Camaro has better control.
Mustang has better features.
Give the Mustang a break! It’s a first for the Mustang to have IRS, and
Ford needs time to get it in shape, I have created a short list of what
Ford needs to do to get the Mustang back in the game: Weight reduction(alot
of it) , bigger and stickier tires, brake tuning and much much stiffer
suspension. And maybe a functional aero package.
ok heres what i don’t understand why did mt test 1le against the gt
instead of the regular ss the 1le was a was a track pack all the mustang gt
is a upscale model why not test a boss or gt350 against it but i guess
thats mt for ya they tested a zl1 against a boss 302 laguna no comparison
doesnt mt no that the mustang weighs more cuz of the irs duh
Why did camaro steal the tail lights off of an 80’s honda civic?
Honestly, ford just needs to give the mustang some beefy ass tires like the
camaro 1le, thats the only reason that the camaro handles slightly better,
with the same tires, the mustang will outhandle, and outbrake.
I remember when all the cool options and parts like roll bars bigger
lighter wheels and strut stuff was “stupid ricer stuff” us import guys put
on cars, now it’s optional equipment on everything including stangs and
Maros…my the world has changed
I’m glad you mentioned the ABS acting up at 10:54
I crashed my new 2015 Mustang GT, When I slammed my brakes, They locked up
and I couldn’t stop in time. I brought this up to the dealer, They said the
brakes aren’t the problem because they’re “Tested” before being delivered
to the dealer, So I’m glad you mentioned that.
It sucks too, The brakes work wonderfully, Until you ACTUALLY need them.
Am I the only one who threw up everywhere when I saw the interior of the
Camaro?
the camaro beat the mustang twice already in the head to head. go check out
episode 25.. same head to head but with the previous gen mustang.. and the
camaro still beat it..
Great review, I really enjoy these showdowns between these 2 legends and
adding all them gadgets to see the g’s and revs with speed makes it pretty
cool. I gotta say I love both of these names but lately I haven’t been a
fan of the camaro design, looks too flat, I really hope the general makes a
few changes. Ford on the other hand has finally made beautiful horse,
really digging that design.
I usually enjoy watching Carlos` reviews, and even though I like better the
Camaro, over the Mustang… the comments throughout the video are just *so
GM biased* it`s unbelievable..
so wich one should i buy? i like the Mustang more but i dont know wich
one:/
I’m glad
