2024 Chevy Camaro V8 vs 2024 Ford Mustang V8: Which Muscle Car Is Best? 

Totally get it with that chime never was a fan of it ,that would be reason for me too for not buying a Ford@Brian_Eugene_Lee

It's the same setup as BMW's and a lot of other modern cars. I wish the dash screen was better implemented but its not a deal breaker at all. The new Mustang has Ford CoPilot's Safety features (Camaro LT1 and 1SS have ZERO safety features), It is more powerful and faster than a Camaro. It has a much better sounding stock exhaust than a Camaro. It has notably better visibility than a Camaro. It has tech like rain sensing wipers, auto high beams, remote rev, etc. etc. that Camaro doesn't have. Overall, the Mustang offers so much more for the same price, or even less sometimes. Camaro is due for a major redesign, but obviously wont get one.

Bro you're just hating

Oh you mean the same way Ford did?? 🤡

​@@G-RatedAt least Ford is keeping the normal mustang alive.

@@themidnighttavern6784 and *gm* has taken the Chevrolet Corvette to a mid-engine platform that competes with actual Ferraris and McLarens. Why are y’all always bringing up the Camaro’s discontinuation as if that suddenly makes Ford the better company?

Chevy just copied off the Ford Gt 40 mid engine platform ,fords been there already an done that and is still pumping out GT 40 Super Cars successfully Gm just wokeup allofasudden!!! Lol

@@denzelbutler6713 *gm* “woke up” all of a sudden and built a affordable American Ferrari meanwhile Ford has been offering you a half a million dollar GT and you think they just did the same thing? Lmdao. It sums up you Ford buyers and how you’re able to be so delusional. *gm* didn’t copy Ford’s GT with their Chevrolet Corvette, *gm* made Ford’s GT look stupid and laughably overpriced.

mustang looks better

We got a strong feeling you’re a low quality guy 😂

I put any bias aside and choose Camaro

@@mikeformato8655 sounds like u like being in the service bay 😂 it’s ok the Camaro lives on in the body lines of the mustang

The Camero feels cheap... It's not any faster in real life.. I have driven both for over a month.. the mustang is a better car all around.. and I just pulled on a ss like 30mins ago.. he wasn't faster for sure...lol...

I agree

mustang looks better

I'd rather have a camaro though Mustang has better vision for a daily... scratch that... I do have a camaro 😂

@@mikeformato8655 I agree but my family has both chevrolet and ford.

​@@rebelcave8556 Yeah, same here but, I don't have one. Instead, I drive a Honda Accord. My family actually owns both Chevrolet and Ford.

The LT1 Camaro was built for a reason. It is to target the people who wanted the lightest possible car with the biggest power train available. It's based on a certain "old school" philosophy rooted in drag racing. In traditional musclecar culture, for example, you had some guys that wanted a GTO, but they wanted a rag top (convertible cars are pretty, but usually are heavier than coupes because of the extra bracing needed in the frame, after you remove the roof structure) with as many possible options as you could get. That car was likely going to be for cruising and ego boosting. These guys were called "posers." As in "pretending or posing" to be serious about speed. Then, there was another group of guys that were considered "hard core" muscle heads. They would order a GTO coupe with the optional Tri-Power engine, a 4spd, steel wheels with dog dish hub caps, and deep rear gears. They would order the car with as few options as possible to make the car as light as possible. They considered themselves to be more serious about going fast. It was also a way to go fast when you didn't have extra money to spend. The LT1 has less content offered for options as it is built in the spirit of those that only care about one thing. Going fast.

@@robertc4311 LT1 grill is ugly.

LT1 also gets the performance pages, front brembos brakes from the SS, LSD, and 20in square wheels

Did you listen to the review? It has a better Manuel transmission, better driving feel, and feels smaller/lighter (thanks to the chassis). They didn’t need to give it anything more as it already is competing with a brand new redesigned Mustang post discontinuation. The Camaro has everything it needs, it’s the reason the new Mustang is as good as it is.

​@G-Rated Seems a bit funny to say all that and yet the Mustang is the best selling and still selling it's entire existence

@@leofhr2966, Ford is just a better selling car company. But, that doesn’t mean the 2024 Mustang is better than the 2024 Camaro.

@joehenry9546 Sorry but the logic doesn't quiet add up you know, you don't sell unless there is a clear and cut reason to why you sell. McDonalds sells the most burgers last I checked, not because they are good at all (far from it) but because they are cheap, would you call the Mustang cheap ? I have seen plenty of people saying how expensive it is even tho it's very comparable to other priced cars. Either way it's surely not the pricing that sells, so what else ? Why does it continue to sell and has always sold the most and best ?

@@leofhr2966 that just means there are more people in N. America shopping in this particular niche segment that want a Ford than there are people who want the Chevrolet or Dodge. It doesn’t change the fact that everything I said about the Chevrolet Camaro is true.

@hustler1992 - And both Camaro and Challenger are discontinued!

Looks way sharper than the mustang.

@@aldovillarreal9572 yet its not better looking

@@TurboClashShowdownssyep at this point I’d rather have the 1ss look

A lot of good that "better core engineering" has done!

@@Loulovesspeed Example. Hyundai sells more cars than Porsche. Does that make Hyundai a better car? And I’m sure you won’t get it. I have a 2SS and when I bought it I tried the GT Premium. Just because more people owned Mustangs it wasn’t the car for me. It felt as if Ford was doing “just enough” for the buyers. The Camaro has some compromises (basically all related to outward visibility) but I wanted a V8 powered manual transmission sports car. That’s what I have.

@@1211home - It will be interesting to see what car replaces it for you down the road! Funny you mentioned the Camaro's outward visibility issue. I worked as a sales rep. for a Ford dealer 25 years ago and they sent me to a few competitor dealerships to act like I was looking for a new car, and to make note of what the sales reps did, both good and bad. I took out a Camaro Z28 at a Chevy dealership in West Hartford, Conn. and the very first thing I noticed after getting in was the terrible lack of vision out the side window! They haven't changed that problem even today! My late wife had a '74 Corvette and when I first got into that, I noticed you almost had to sit up to see over the side door edge and I'm 5'11". Seemed like you were sitting on the floor trying to see over the high door frame! I dislike anything that interferes with my outward vision as it is a definite safety hazard. Kinda like the '63 Split window Vette, which many others had the same concern with as it was a one year design. I will say that the most powerful car I have been in was a '69 Baldwin Motion Camaro a college roommate had. That car was one fast S.O.B.

@@Loulovesspeed I’m an old timer. I always wanted a low,wide and somewhat uncomfortable car for recreational use. I’ve learned how to drive my car and judge sight lines. The only really challenging vision out bound is on the right forward quarter. Most people don’t know how to use mirrors etc…could the outward vision be better? Sure. I’ll tell you the car is built for minimal flex and that gives more cornering confidence. Cam in block gives lower CG so they always has handling as a key performance objective. Have a great day..

@@1211home - Well sir, I have many miles under my belt too. Been on the road 58 years now, have driven many different vehicles, big, small, mid size, sporty, mundane, etc. I always use my mirrors and signals, something too many today don't bother with. I took driver Ed. on a standard shift and part of the final test was to stop part way up a good incline, then release the brakes and go forward without sliding back more than 8 inches. The instructor was impressed that I did it so well he said "If I didn't know better, I'd figure you had been driving for years." I said to him, well, my Mom taught me how to drive a stick 2 years ago. He replied, well, she did a damn good job! I said, I know she did, thanks. Enjoy your day too.

I agree

Tesla drivers probably like it....😊

Another unshakable fan of Geriatric Motors! Seriously, look at the increasing number of old farts you see behind the wheel of the Corvettes these days.

​​@@LoulovesspeedThat is, and always has been about having disposable income. Like it or not, Corvettes are considered aspirational "halo cars" by many. As you probably know, Vettes are more expensive than Stangs and Camaros. Older people generally have more money to burn because the crumb snatchers no longer have their hands in their pockets, and they are usually at peak income from having been in their careers longer...

@G-Rated - What is even more embarrassing is the Camaro has ended production as of Deccember 24, 2023! The iconic Camaro V8 is history! The Mustang has nothing to be embarrassed about as it is the best selling sports coupe......in the world, for the last 9 years! I would rephrase your comment to say GM is so lost without Ford!! Be honest, the Camaro never would have been made if Ford hadn't beat them in producing the first pony car in 1965. It's only fitting that the Ford Mustang is the last of the breed!

@@Loulovesspeed nothing embarrassing about discontinuing the Camaro, the Corvette is all anyone ever talks about and it makes much more money. The only thing *gm* has ever needed Ford for was to light a fire under their own butts and actually try. They’ve never needed Ford in order to actually be *competitive* in any segment, and that’s the difference. You Ford fanboys are delusional.

@@G-Rated - Well, you made one correct statement there! GM has very definitely needed Ford to light a fire under GM's ass to get new model types made.. Examples: Ford created the first full bodied, ready to roll pickup truck in 1925. GM had a pickup chassis in 1918, but that's all it was, a bare chassis. Then one needed to have a custom built body for it. Ford created the first utility van with the 1961 Econoline. GM followed in 1964. Ford produced the first passenger car bodied pickup with the Ranchero in 1956. Chevy followed again with the El Camino in 1959. Ford produced the first 2 dr. sport coupe/convertible V8 powered car in 1965 with the Mustang. Chevy followed once more in 1967 with the Camaro. Ford produced the Mustang GT 350 in 2016 with the first use of a flat plane crankshaft in an American car. The Corvette followed in 2023. Ford produced the first subcompact, the Pinto in 1970. The Chevy Vega followed in 1971. These are facts, not delusions! Ford has set the stage for more new vehicle types over the years than Chevy ever dreamed of!

Don't you mean shouldn't especially before break-in?

@@stevensevek6151 modern engines are broken in from the factory they are ready to rip

No, no they're not.

​@@clevejason Oh nooo. You'd think so because of the popularity of roller valve trains, but the rings still need to seat properly under load. For example, Dodges SRT developed engines not allow full use of advertised power until the car has 1.5 k miles.

All new Mustangs are 486hp 418 Tq. 460hp was pre 2024.

@@matrox 450 actually pre 2024, pre 2022 was 460.

Actually they are traditionally considered as Pony Cars. They are a sub-set of musclecars.

😊True, but they have moved beyond the pony car label now.

Camaro is definitely a sports car. It's meant to be tracked which makes the driving position perfect. I feel like a sit in the car rather than on it like in the mustang. I personally like it because I like a good cornering car not just a straight line one

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 Uh, the Mustang has been an exceptional sports car ever since the S550 debuted years ago. The GT3 is super fast in Lemans racing, even faster on a road course than the C8 Z06 race car. The Dark Horse has unbelievable brakes, and lateral acceleration that translates to any road course. There is a reason that Camaro sales kept falling precariously, and it was the lack of visibility and tank like seating position. Hopefully GM will learn, and do better with next generation Camaro which will be an EV.

I disagree. The tail lights look are more Corvette-like on these newer Camaros.
