Comparison tests 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 vs 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

[Merc1]

Who's King of the Modern Ponycar Hill?


"Not fair!" howled a bunch of Ford fans when we pitted the 2010 Mustang GT against Chevy's new Camaro, and it lost. "What about the Shelby GT500? You should be comparing the top-of-the-range Camaro with the top-of-the-range Mustang."

Hey, it's not our fault Ford brought a knife to a gunfight. The simple truth is you can buy a 426-horsepower Camaro for the same money as a 315-horsepower Mustang. In fact, order a GT Premium with the TrackPack -- the only way to get the GT500-inspired suspension upgrades, 3.73 rear axle, dual-piston front calipers, recalibrated stability control system, plus the 19-inch wheels and tires that make the 2010 Mustang such a blast through the twisties -- and you'll pay about 1500 bucks more than you would for a 1SS-spec Camaro, which comes standard with Pirelli tires, Brembo brakes, a six speed manual transmission, and a 21st-century rear suspension.

Camaro for me! Face-lifted Mustang looks like a mental kid... she is expensive, slow & got poor mpg!

Camaro looks so wicked and mean..one for me here.

I simply love the camaro...looks futuristic yet somehow retro, which I find really interesting.

GT500 all the way! I love the looks of it, it's charisma... the fact that it is built on 19:th century technology does not bother me at all!

The Mustang has more power, a better interior and is nearly as much of an eye-popper on the road. I've seen the new Camaro on the road now, its a stunning design and I'd wouldn't mind having a SS version, but the Mustang I just like better.

I thought axle hop was a thing of the past. That was pretty bad.

The Camaro in a heartbeat. Never been a fan of the (any) Mustang.
