The current-generation Mustang provides a very sophisticated and sporty appearance in a smaller package than the Camaro.
The Mustang has won several awards for its design and for the high-performance GT model. Front-seat room in both the Mustang and Camaro is generous.
But the Camaro feels more restrictive, due to the shallow height of its front and side windows. The Mustang has more total glass at the sides and back, giving an airier feeling inside.
The standard seats are comfortable for both long interstate trips and sporty driving on twisty roads. The Camaro has less rear seat room. Passengers who actually try the back seat will find a darker, more enclosed-feeling space because of the smaller rear side widows.
Interior quality among the two has improved over the years. However, the Camaro still lags behind the Mustang in materials. However, the Mustang also offers an optional digital and changeable instrument cluster. For some buyers, this will bring its dash further into the 21st Century.
As with the Mustang, the Camaro places the speedo and tachometer directly ahead of the driver. Most secondary controls are located in the center stack, just under the multifunction Infotainment 3 display. That display works well and has won a couple of awards.
The Camaro loses on storage and cargo, too, with the Mustang offering more of both. No one buys one of these cars for the space, but it still matters. The Mustang has a wider, more usable trunk opening than the Camaro, plus Likewise, whereas the Camaro Convertible with the roof down renders the trunk effectively useless , the Mustang Convertible provides reasonable utility even with the roof folded.
Neither car offers much rear legroom, but the Mustang's back seat offers significantly more head- and shoulder room. Both Mustang and Camaro offer turbo-four, naturally aspirated V-8 and supercharged V-8 options, but the Chevy can also be had with a rev-happy, surprisingly sweet-sounding V Especially with the 1LE handling package , the six-cylinder Camaro is an excellent accessible driver's car.
The Camaro also earns points for offering its six-speed manual transmission on all variants. Ford only sells the Shelby GT with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic; Chevy allows buyers to order the hp Camaro ZL1 with three pedals and a manual shift lever. The Camaro is a dynamic rock star. The way it brakes, turns in, delivers power to the road, and powers out of a corner is always exactly what you'd expect; this is a car comfortable with driving quickly. In a comparison between V-8 Mustang and Camaro coupes , we said, "The Chevy never puts a foot wrong, never misbehaves, and most certainly never understeers.
By comparison, the V-8 Mustang rolls too much, initially understeers, and snaps to oversteer. It feels disconnected, and that's not what you want. That said, four-cylinder and Shelby-modified 'Stangs are much better. Since the s, the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang have been duking it out for pony car supremacy.
Over the years, there have been many body styles, engines, and optional performance packages. But one thing hasn't changed: Each offers its unique take on what a reasonably priced American sports car should be. In , both the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are high-tech vehicles with a bevy of useful features, both performance-wise and those that enhance everyday convenience.

Let's explore what makes the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang different and whether one has a significant advantage over the other. Pony cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang have coupe styling that's all-American and sporty and reminiscent of each automaker's unique heritage. With its galloping horse emblem affixed to its grille, the Ford Mustang symbolizes free-spirited fun and getting away on the open road.
The Camaro is all about a muscular, chiseled profile and a car that hints at its capacity for high performance. The Ford Mustang has styling touches that harken back to the iconic model that set sales records and captured the heart of America.
With its three-bar rear brake lights, sloping fastback roof, and open grille, Ford decided to keep elements that made the car so famous over the years.
But there are still modern takes throughout the car, like its sculpted rear shoulders and LED headlights that give it a strong presence. The Chevy Camaro charts its own course, just as it always has ever since its beginnings. With bodywork that's chiseled and defined, it has a more futuristic personality and looks imposing as it cruises the boulevard.
The powerful haunches around the rear wheels add to the muscular profile, and the traditional Chevy bowtie emblem in the grille hints at the American-made horsepower under the hood. Some traditionalists may say the Ford Mustang nips the Chevy Camaro in the style department, thanks to its heritage-influenced look and old-school pony car personality.

Again, it's a close competition, but in the end, the Ford Mustang wins out with its use of high technology DOHC cylinder heads on its V-8 engines, as well as the use of a dual-clutch transmission in the Shelby GT Both the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang have taken enormous strides over the years, with updated suspension designs and improved technology.
Back when the Camaro and Mustang debuted, solid-axle rear suspensions were the norm, and though it may have torn up the drag strips, it couldn't match European competitors in handling.
