Mustang>Camaro: Here's Why

ONE The Mustang is the original ponycar
There’s nothing like an original, and the Mustang in my book is Ford’s first true sports car. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and such is the case with the Camaro imitating the Mustang.

TWO The Mustang has never stopped production.
In 2002 the Camaro stopped production “due to slowing sales, a deteriorating market for sports coupés,” The Mustang has had a model for every year since 1965, even when there was the debacle of the Mustang II. It seems as if the Mustang will never give up.

THREE Carrol Shelby
Who knew that a chicken farmer from Texas could have such a big impact on America’s sports car? He was a great racing driver, helped breathe some fire into the AC Cobra and the Ford Mustang and his name continues to adorne Mustangs throughout the world.

FOUR The Mustang has had better sales figures and it has a bigger fanbase.
By looking at the numbers, it’s obvious that the Mustang is more popular among fanboys and buyers alike. Not to mention that the Mustang has a better reputation internationally, it’s being sold in Europe as we speak. There’s strength in numbers.

FIVE The Mustang is lighter most of the time.
Looking at the numbers, the Mustang is more of a lightweight than it’s Camaro nemesis. The Foxbody Mustang is a good example of that, being a good platform for a drag car. In the sports car world, the lighter the better, which means that in a way the Mustang is better.

There you have it, reasons the Mustang betters the camaro. Both the camaro and the mustang are cars i want in my garage.

Comments

NONE of these reason really make the Mustang itself a better car than the Camaro, except for maybe the last reason. If i was choosing between a Mustang and a Camaro (so never) then i couldn’t care less about these points.

The camaro is a great car, but I will always prefer the mustang

That’s a cool car

i like cars in general I have a Camaro because I’ve always preferred Chevys but I’m sure I would enjoy a mustang just as much

Is that why you see so many LS swapped mustangs?

Hahahahahaha

I would take the Camaro over a Mustang any day.

Same here.

Not even close to the original “sports car”. No chance at all. Totally wrong.

And what do you define as Ford’s first sports car?

It’s all just personal preference. I like the mustang personally

And the mustangs are usually faster too, to this day it is like GM makes their cars slower on purpose, the ecotec camaro is at a rather substantial deficit from the ecoboost, the 2009 GTs and V6s were the same way, the 4th gen and new edge have yet another similar tale.
