- The Mustang GT vs the Camaro SS in a 1/4 mile race seems to be a hot topic. Both cars are in their 6th Generation designs, with the GT moving to a 6.5 refresh. The A10 vs. the A8, 5.0 vs 6.2, its the longest rival people seem to care about. But who is the best currently? Mustang or Camaro?

Well that intro was awkward.... Forgot to edit it out ;(
Should have just gone ahead and shown the bong hits that transpired in the minutes before the video starts.
Proud to say I don’t do drugs. I just never sleep.
At some point, the effect is the same. : )
LethalGarage is
Lmr is late model racecraft not restoration
Mustangs, Camaros, Chalengers
It’s all american muscle and it’s all good.
From a Mustang guy
camaros and mustangs are pony cars while challengers are proper muscle cars.
@ZL1 Exorcist yes they are
Except it's not. It's am eri can crap.
@@beluga8851 boats are muscle cars?
@@beluga8851 why are they slower
Automatic is faster but I enjoy driving a manual much better
amen!
solkim23 ✊🏽 recently bought a 2017 Corvette I knew the automatic was faster they were trying to sell me on the paddle shifters but I needed a manual I love to drive the car don't want to feel like a civilian in it lol just mr
Check and see if the factory has nannies installed in the computer to keep you from powershifting. Ford had them on the 11 and up Coyote 6-Speed manuals. Disabling the factory nanny gained 3 tenths and a few MPH. Computer was closing throttle body and pulling timing when you tried to powershift.
solkim23 who the fuck told you that I got burned by a 50yo.....my uncle 😡
solkim23 me too
I can remember when low 13,s was quick...factory 11 second cars is just awesome.
lol i was at the track this weekend and i brought this up. its crazy what is now "slow". But still fast.
Super legit... Goodness I'm a Mustang guy but I couldn't tell you how many times a day I say " Shit that's a beautiful Camaro/Corvette or Challenger/Charger." I really don't think there is a bad choice in American muscle right now. We are down to splitting hairs on the track and they are all faster than most of know how or should drive! When your in a world where you are arguing fast and it's an 11.8 vs 11.6 stock, it's a great world to be in! The only thing I dislike on any of the forums etc are the fanboys that say "ohhh my Hellcat/ZL1 or GT500 whoops your Scatpack/SS or GT's ass.... " no shit lol! That's like hearing a guy in a Scatpack say how he whooped that Honda Accords ass! Congrats....Apples to oranges.
Lensync7 I couldn't agree with you any more. Ive always hated when people get their panties soo much in a bunch when they see a "lesser" model then theirs running a fast time. I have a procharged civic as well (but the single slammer) and I would get soo much flame for spending so much money on a "slow car". I would have to hear all of the "why didn't you get an Si, o my Si would smoke that shit" comments. And I always try to remind people why we buy our rides. Not everyone wants the faster model. Even beforr progressed, I got/still get 600-620miles with the 13.2gallon tank the car gas and still run a 13.2@107mph. That isn't bad at all. Anyways I also have a zl1 and I know how it feels to have those baby dick mofos scrutinizing you for not having the top model. I show love to all. Even 4banger maro/stang guys. Anything can be made fast. We all can't drive the top models, but we all don't want to. People just want to justify their worth and will look down on others if their ride isn't as fast or equipped. So I feel you on that Fam I really do
Lensync7 same here!
This is great comment section. Been a Ford guy since birth with dad owning an 89 LX convertible mustang (4 cylinder) red with black top. Was the most beautiful car I've ever seen when I was 9 years old. I had an 88 LX and 86 GT since. And so many other cars too but Now a 17 Focus ST but next car definitely a Mustang. Point is, if I told you I didn't love a Challenger or Camaro I'd be a damn liar. Hell I've owned a 2000 Grand Prix GT I was in love with. Can't we just all get along? Lol
Well if you get a 6 cyl that's a bad choice lmao
In terms of performance , you won't go wrong with any one. Personally I love to build my car and I own a SRT392 for that reason, because I would love my choice of blown engine. But today I'm here to say that whether its a Camaro, Mustang or Mopar, they are equally capable of beating each other on track. Not always the one with higher horsepower is strongest, but the witty one wins the race with a proper driver mod. Mods are not always to add power but also to shred unwanted baggage from the car. And some mods might not add power but might affect quarter miles. Nice videos, definitely a lot to take from it. Thanks for the share.
11.8-11.9 stock base cars with V8's damn! What a time to be alive.
Breath of fresh air in the camaro/mustang comparisons. Good job keeping it based on facts and not being ignorant. Sick car by the way.
I’m exactly like you. I love all American muscle cars. The thing I don’t like is when people want to kill each other to show which is better haha
The Challenger is the last standing "real" muscle car. The Camaro and Mustang are more sports cars than anything else.
I love it when someone makes an HONEST video about muscle cars. I own a Camaro, love it, tried a Mustang and didn’t. Doesn’t mean the Camaro was faster, I just liked it better. I do have to say the Camaro seems to handle better but that’s me. Whatever you drive, drive it because you like it!
Im a ford guy but i do appreciate american muscle will have no issue owning either one
These cars both the mustang and camaro with simple mods are performing at the level 300k supercars were 8-10 years ago in my mind that's crazy
I don't know why this video has so many dislikes. It's a straight up, down to earth, apples to apples comparison. I've always been a Camaro guy, but nothing said here is untrue. Way to go, Matt.
It’s really cool to see how evenly matched these cars are.
And the rivalry continues !!!!
Love it.
Great video
Great video man. Just earned yourself a new sub. I liked how you are a Camaro guy but aren’t completely biased and realize there’s good things/better things about both. Personally I’m a mustang guy but hell, I’m not against ever owning a Camaro. Good video man
Why are you apologizing for liking the Mustang? It is a nice car, I drove and like it. I still chose an SS 1LE, but the new Mustang does a lot of things well.
I run a Camaro channel...
Kell m - And it goes around corners better as well…..
Matt I love your position being neutral. I am a big fan of Americans cars and tue same as you love all of them. Thank you for your videos. Always is a pleasure watching them. Waiting for your new video with the new driveshaft.
Definitely the way to look at cars. Leave the hate behind. It's bad for all of us. Great job!
I'm with most people here. I enjoy and really like all cars, especially Muscle cars. It's fun to see some friendly rivalry. What I don't like is when the rivalry becomes unfriendly and almost violent. We don't have time for that. It's childish. I drive a Challenger Hellcat with 6 speed manual. I know automatics are faster, but I am all about just enjoying my car in my own little life. I always compliment others if I see another nice car. Respect for others goes a long way in life.💪
The New pony cars are nice, but so is my 6th Gen Camaro SS .. LOL but we agree that the top three US Muscle cars have really upped there game with more to come.
1. I don't care if the automatic is faster I would still take a manual.
2. If someone bought me a brand new Camaro or a brand new Mustang I would be happy either way because they're both amazing cars.
Yankee 1985 same finally Someone that don’t hate
Same. M6 is so much fun.
Per 1 yeah but it’s so much slower
11 seconds for a stock muscle car! Unreal! Awesome vid👍as usual!!
Another awesome video!!! Thank you for being a humble and honest person..
Spot on , Thanks for a great video - Keep up the great work.... !!
That 10 speed helped the mustang substantially. I believe they produce most of their power in a smaller RPM window which more gears helped them stay in those RPMs. The Camaro pulls better throughout the RPM range.
Great stuff. I’m tired of people hating on each other just cause of what they drive. Great cars.
I've been a Mustang man since 1987. However all American muscle car enthusiast respect any and all American true musclecars including the Camaros and the Dodge lineup. It is exciting indeed to see The Return of the horsepower battle right out of the factory which is amazing. Just to think my first Mustang GT came out of the factory with 225 horsepower LOL and now you can take them off the dealer lot with more than double that, wow. Thanks for posting this video and keeping it real. So many people because they are in such competition with one car or another totally block anything truthful because when they put their heads on the pillow at night they have to win LOL but I'm just amazed to see how these cars have evolved over the years and so happy that they are making them so nice now. These are truly real sports cars now and technically speaking you don't have to add anything to them which is remarkable. Once again thanks for the video and you have an awesome looking car.
Good video, I love all American muscle/sport cars and they all look good.
Cool video. I'm a Mustang guy(2009 Shelby GT500 and also an 18 Mustang GT) but the reality is like you said they're all building some really nice and pretty evenly matched cars over the last 3 or 4 years.....I'm hoping it stays this way a while longer. BTW nice build on your Camaro. I'll be checking in to see if you can get her into the 9's.
It should happen
Agree, got to love all muscle cars. We live in a great generation where these cars a representing and dominating for the money! The 6th gen camaro looks amazing to me! Love that redesign on how aggressive it looks.
I'm more of a mustang guy , but chevy needs to fix that new front end in a hurry !!!
It’s not bad man, it looks way better in person.
My 2019 Camaro SS has the 10 speed auto. Would be fun to see how it runs against the gt 10spd 🤔
Refreshing perspective. We are living in awesome times for performance cars, like no time ever in history. Soak it in, enjoy it....it may be gone soon!
Just recently bought an '18 GT Performance Pack in manual ans completely love it. Honestly, I ALMOST bought a Camaro SS 1LE but hated the visibility and the trunk space. The main thing that ruined it for me was the viz though but I have to say the GT is plenty fast and fun for me. So far loving it
I literally can't see shit out of a Camaro. lol
I hope you'll develop some loyalty to the Stang cause this rivalry is very serious
i've seen quite a few people trade in their stangs for the maro but im curious in buying a stang one day. i love all cars i just hate the price lol im actually an import fan but bought my first American muscle last year and so far i love my camaro. i had one bad 800hp 350z but wanted to try something different and i gotta say america is stepping up their game.
@@wahiawabound808
Same, I have seen many people trading their newer camaro, for the mustang. Matter of fact, I wanted to buy a camaro, but then I saw one dude trying to trade in his camaro that he bought few months ago, for a mustang.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself. These are great cars and produce crazy numbers to be stock.
I️ am a 2013 Mustang GT owner. I️ also love all American Muscle. I️ think if people spent less time hating and more time collaborating that would be good. The sound of a V8 is intoxicating no matter what camp it comes from. My 6 year old is the same way haha. Were both going down the road calling out “Mustang, Camaro , Challenger etc. Lol Nice vid!! Stock number are very important as I️ don’t have a lot to invest after the initial purchase.
I’d like to see a move from drag racing exclusively in these cars and getting to be more GTE type racers. It would open them up to more competition. Great video.
Very surprising to see a clear camaro fan thats not dead set on being as biased against a mustang as possible.
I understand a lot of people buy Camaros and Mustangs to go down the straight line but can you tell me what car gives you the best performance if you want to put it on the track and really build your driving skills up do you like the Mustang Camaro which one really performs do you think the 5th gen can hang with all up-to-date cars on a racetrack
sean gooden the zl1 and the CTS-V are track cars
made me cry, thought you had this race lined up, side by side on an actual track lol
exactly....click bait video and funny to believe people want to listen to this dude talk for 12 minutes. BYE
Great unbiased look at both cars. I think the reason the Mustang community is lacking in drag racing is because Ford is also shifting to more of a driver's car. These cars are amazing and fast. If i could afford ine of each i would. I am an Owner of a GT350R and a road course guy not drag racer and I am active on the forums and there is definitely a shift.
Good perspective.
Gotta love it, fantastic muscle cars under 70K straight out the factory, competing against the high priced foreign cars!!! That is the way I see it.
I’m just happy Americans are designing great cars again. I’m a mustang guy for 30 years. All these new muscle cars/pony cars are beast mode!! USA USA
Appreciated the video. My last car was a 99 Z28 that put down 470WHP. That was super impressive for the setup. Like you've said, now that's not even that impressive anymore given what these new cars can do. Considering finding a sixth generation car with a six speed stick. Any info on what those cars do? Would probably just do a full exhaust on it and run it.
Get a Corvette instead
Great video and beautiful Camaro.
Whether your and Ford, Chevy or Dodge guy it's a great time in history to be a American car guy!
Mustang guy here. Great video. Thanks for the honest numbers
Im with you. Give me any current muscle car and I will be a happy guy. That being said i ordered a 18Gt 10 speed auto, performance pkg, magneride, active exhaust,digital dash. Nothing against the Camero I just feel the Mustang is a little easier to live with as a daily driver and I dont track my cars. If I tracked them I would say Camero all day long and would probably get the 1le. Thats just where I fell. Got a delivery date of 3/5 cant wait! Great video!
Hey Matt ever get any of the Yenko Camaro's out that way racing? I work in a small town in Ohio that has a local dealership that seems to sell these $100k Camaro's like hot cakes. I know they ship them all over the country. One of the local guys just bought the special edition version that is 1000hp while the normal ones are 800. I know they fall into special edition but just wondering if you have seen any at the track?
American muscle will always have my heart coming from a Mustang Fan. Love all of them. Camaro, Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs although I Drive a STI as my daily, gotta love New York winters lol, the weekend warrior is my 03 Mustang GT that I’ve built over the years.
I agree bud. I like them all. I know the camaro is track king and the Dodge looks closest to the classic. I respect them all. Even a LS Powered RX-7. If I had a huge garage and the ching. I'd have one of each.
I dont hate the other muscle cars either. When I see them out on the road i always notice how good they all look. Makes me wonder what people are thinking when they spend muscle car money on a Malibu or Altima or a honda type r, ford focus rs, or a truck lol. I know people need trucks and other people like hot hatchbacks but for that money you can get v8 muscle power lol. Hope you run sub 10 second next time out.
Cause people have different tastes and preferences? what you may find amazing might be lackluster to me. All about preferences at the end of the day.
Ik lol I want one so bad some day. Preferably a mustang I suppose since admittedly I am a ford guy for kind of a funny and dumb reason. But for now I need a truck for towing my work trailer and so on. But my f150 has the same 5.0 as a mustang with just slight changes to add low end power for towing, etc. and dang it sounds delicious. Good power too, i could only imagine how powerful it will feel in a 2000 lb lighter vehichle. And thanks to the Shelby gt350 and camaro zl1 and dodge demon, America's muscle cars are putting better track and drag numbers on the board than basically anything else in the world right now. Bravo America!!!
Benton Kranz they have different cams in that truck 5.0 from the factory. I wanna say it's just either intake or exhaust. Not both.
For the most part, it's the same engine. Just different cams to gear the engine for more low end power. But if I already think it's the best sounding v8 I've seen in person, and the mustang has that engine but better exhaust, then that sounds really awesome to me. But good point.
Dude I think this too, I'm like you wasted all that money on a truck?! WTF?! lol
Great video. In the end I went with 1SLE. Love the low end torque and super fun Tremec m6.
Great commentary and I agree What a Great time to be a Car guy !
All the new muscle cars and sport sedans, etc.. handle so well and have so much power they exceed at least 90% of the US population's ability to drive by far.
I used to be a Mustang fanboy until I came across your channel; so much so that I'm actively shopping for a used Camaro. I still like both cars, but the Camaro just looks meaner. Mustang is more comfortable and has better visibility, but for a toy, I like the Camaro more.
I love everything about the 2018 mustang except for that front end. I've tried to let it grow on me. I've seen it in person in literally every color more than once. I just don't like it. In my eyes, the front end looks more like droopy eyes than a mean agressive look. Idk...
I have a 2016 GT. Wouldn't trade it for a new one. Can't get excited about the nose
I hate how they look in the front too. Mine is the only color combo I found that makes it look good (oxford white with the black accent pkge)
Great non-bias review!
I’m a Ford fan but I love both dodges and chevys because they all are beautiful and all sound amazing
I just think its funny when he said he tries to be non-biased yet has a poster of a Camaro, Camaro plate, and a "Camaro Parking Only" sign lolol
(yes i Know he said he prefers Camaro)
Fairly sure I wasn't biased with all those things int he background.
Being non biased doesn't mean you can't like something. It means you can report facts about a subject not your opinion.
Nathan Torraville Shut the fuck . Your inner female is coming out. “I just think it’s funny when” and listening to only what you want to listen to, he obviously said “I’m putting all that aside”, little bitch.
You obviously didn’t listen to what he said try watching it again without your own bias
Less than a tenth... not bad. Competition is good for the customers... really good.
Good for banks you mean...
I like you're honest unbiased opinion. I am a Ford guy. Fireball is most likely a deep 7 car now. I hope u get your 9sec pass. Be safe
Like the way you Differentiate the difference . . . Frosty ! Cool
I completely agree man. All the new American muscle cars are so nice!!! I remember in the 90’s when I could pull up to a red light and 50/50 someone would race. Just seems like street racing in general is dying. At least in the north east.
hum negative Matt, there's a post of someone who ran 11.84 stock on the forum. I don't think he's a member and it was posted on facebook
Man I'm with ya. I'm a ford guy, just put a coyote in my stang. But Dodge got it right on there body style, so sexy. Camaro is growing on me. I hate the old cheese wedge models but the new ones are nice. And there is the LS engine platform. Awesome. Ford blocks have the same set up, but chevy chose displacement and cam in block. Which i like.
You found 1 hero run for the Mustang. Take the top 5 of each and see who has the faster average. Keep up the good videos.
That was the point of the video. People only want to know what it’s potential is, not an average.
Both are great cars. I work for a GM dealer and I still chose the new 5.0 just because I feel like the interior is better quality and I got a great deal on mine.. kona blue.. digital dash.. pp1 401a car.. leather/heated/cooled seats heated wheel, premium sound system, blue stitching etc. And the fact that you can spin these motors to 7500 stock blows my mind. Both are beautiful cars I guess its just preference
The new 2019 gt pp1 manual is quick off the launch because it has 3.73 torsen axle. But the 10 speed auto has 3.55
Just watched a gt500 on street tires run a 12.07 tonight. Driver is the most important part.
Am looking @ Camaro & Mustang Convertibles & it's tough.
I have a 2014 Mustang now but I've had a couple Camaro's & Corvettes.
I gave up Camaros after they became a Foreign made car, but now they're made in the U.S.A. again!!
I like the Interior of the Camaro [color design] better than the Current Mustang. [penny grubbers got involved]
At this time leaning towards Mustang Gt , if I can find a decent Ext. Color with a nice looking interior.
I may have to order a 2019 to get what I want!!
Enjoyed your evaluation & fairness.
Its not always about speed. Its about the driving experience. The melding of man and machine. The auto transmission makes you a steering wheel holder, not a driver.
Honestly, I wish I could own all of them! But for now, I'm happy with my 2010 SS.
That was good man. Like you, I love all Muscle. I also love the factory turbo imports (I own a 2006 WRX). Muscle and awd's are very different. I am a Mustang guy at heart and will own a gt500 one day. Aside from all that, keep making the all inclusive Muscle videos. I think the Camaro Z/28 a few years back was awesome, and the ZL1's are fantastic.
I'm a mustang fan, but both cars are very nice. They both haul but. Its personal preference!!! I'd be happy with either.
The SS is still quicker and faster, it's 100+ lbs lighter and GM says they are dropping another 50 lbs off it in mid 2018 and gets the vette 7 spd stick and the 10 spd auto. The SS still handles better. You can get a base SS with dual mode an magnaride with no other required optional packages, whereas, the equally equipped mustang costs $2-4K more than a SS with exhaust and magnaride.
good content man (from a mustang owner lol)
With Evan behind the wheel it doesn't surprise me. One of the baddest drag racers of all time.
MOST H8D I was just going to mention that. Not sure if this dude knows who "Evan J. Smith" is, but Evan is always good for a tenth or 2 over anyone else behind the wheel.
I like lethals videos even tho I'm a mustang guy and the lethal camaro is a monster
I tell you what impressed the f out of me, I drove from Philly to Cape May, Nj (105 miles), and I averaged over 31mpg. That's crazy for a muscle car. That's with my 17 2ss no mods. In a 6.2v8. It's fast enough already for me but those mpg's ....wow.
I agree with you! Us normal people have to pick one! We can't afford to have all of them!!
Love the videos dude
Well spoken. Well done.
go back and watch some vintage racing from late 60s and early 70s. we built our cars like crazy and had a hard time getting to the numbers we get off the lot now. I LOVE it. Chev all the way, sorry rest of you guys, just the way it is.
Terry" Beefcake" Reeves out of Beechmont Ford Cincinnati Ohio he races a 2017 Mustang GT 7:9 in the 1/4 Mile.
Ford is sandbagging on the horsepower numbers. Its more like 480 hp. They always under rate their engines.
The old 2005 was more like 325 hp. Advertised as 300 hp.
500 hp GT 500s run about 11.7 with slicks and 6 speed. 11.9 on stock tires
The first race out of the gate in late May was the Ford Motorsport Nationals, the third stop on the NMRA tour and Tobener instantly set the quickest time for a S550-based Mustang. It wasn’t the kind of big deal that some would make it out to be since Tobener had all sorts of little teething problems as it was the car’s first time on the drag strip. Two more events went by, the NMCA competition at Beech Bend Raceway and the NMRA stop in Ohio, and Tobener made adjustments to the chassis and going quicker each time. In just the fourth outing and less than 30 runs on the new car, Tobener eclipsed the 7-second barrier with his 2015 Mustang GT. He ran 7.991 at 171.45 mph during the final round of qualifying for Edelbrock Xtreme Street during the NMRA race in Indianapolis.
This was a really good non biased review. I am also a camaro guy but honestly....there really isn't that big of a difference in the 2 when it comes to the 1/4. Damn near equal. What I like about the SS is it's no lift shift option for the manual. That's something I said for some time before it came out on the 6th gen that needed to be done along with having at the least 450hp. I don't see the 10R80 only being an option for the higher end models though. I see it being used in this next refresh considering Ford and GM together designed it and GM is going to utilize it in the SS for sure and I honestly think it will close the gap in performance in 1/4 against the mustang. Really digging the amount of awesomeness coming from both sides of the competition these days for sure. I got love for all 3 of the big 3.
What's your take, if you have one, on the 10 speed auto in the Stang vs. the 8 speed auto in the Camaro?
8 speed auto 18 camaro ss
I wish I lived close by cali It would be great to run with you at the track. Great job brother I love the videos especially sitting at work, lol.
Great video man. Ford guy here. Love your Camaro. Very nice. I appreciate all cars at the car show but when I see that 71 Boss Mustang I melt. Like we all have different taste in women same with cars lol just have fun out there fellas and always be careful.
Prefer manual to the auto. Yes it's slower and harder to get off the line but the car feels more controllable and predictable in my opinion. Had issues with both late model Camaros and mustangs struggling to pick the right gear.
Great video!👍
What's in the performance pack?
How did they get 11.9? I did a 12.9 last nighy
Damn 8 sec pass on pony car. We are living in good times my friend.
Love all of the V-8 American muscle cars. As far as power and speed they're all about the same. It's all about the appearance of your choice. I chose the Camaro because I just love the aggressive profile of the car. This despite the fact that I'm a golf nut and the clubs/bag won't fit in the trunk nor the back seat. Mainly because I chose the convertible, though, but they won't fit in the coupe either. There are lots of Camaro clubs in Southern Cal but I joined a club that allows any V-8 American muscle car. Love cruisin' with those Hellcats and GTs. The sound of a modified V-8 exhaust is just music...
What a great time to be in some American muscle
I got a stock mustang gt and I ran a stockish 2017 ss. The only reason I went with the Gt was the stock motor holds way more power than a ss. Both are fast cars tho
Unfortunately a lot of GT owners believe that. A lot of them pop if you hit lap the car.
I get the auto in a 1LE or any road course car. But a base V8 Stang or Camaro? Manual for sure.
You said it best. Both are nasty. Running 11s is very respectable.
If going into a Ford dealer and driving off in an 11 second car isn't good enough, you can always "pony" up $100k for the turn-key cobra jet. That'll get ya 8.40 1/4 mile. Times are krazy but I love it.
You can build a 8sec car for $60k
