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.

How the hell can you even say, “The Mustang never stopped production” as a good thing. Have you ever seen the cars they made during that time. The Camaros they made during that time were way better.

mustangs only had t tops for 1 generation, camaros had them for 3, that trumps everything up there

Another reason is that mustang has more aftermarket companies, Camaro only has Saleen and Hennessy and Mustang has Saleen, hennessy, roush, and shelby. (correct me if im wrong)

what about lingenfelter?

If I could I’d get both and a challenger.

The Mustang was not the original pony car. The ripped off the body style from the 1962 Dodge Dart. They later ripped off the fast back style from the 1964 Plynouth Baracuda. The Mustang II, I don’t think I need to say anything else about that. Carrol Shelby has also worked with Dodge and produced the Shelby Durango and the Shelby Daytona. Lastly the Mustang may be lighter weight but it’s almost always under powered. The 2002 GT barely scratched 200hp. Mustangs are cool but of the two I’d take the Camaro.
