Point With the all-new 370Z, engineers ocused on enhancing overall perormance.

Point The new Mustang includes several improvements designed to enhance perormance.

Counterpoint Perormance is a top priority or Camaro engineers, as well. In act, both Camaro and 370Z have similar output or their V6 engines, however, Camaro returns 3 mpg more highway uel economy. In addition, both Camaro and 370Z have similar suspension, braking and steering systems, and both vehicles include standard stability control.Bothincludestandard18-inch control.Bothincludestandard18-inchwheelsandtires, wheelsandtires, but Camaro oers available 19-inch and 20-inch wheels. 370Z only oers optional 19-inch wheels. Plus, or maximum perormance, Camaro SS models include a standard V8 engine; a V8 engine is not available on any 370Z.

Counterpoint The new Mustang does have some perormance improvements, but they are modest at best. Mustang still uses a live rear axle suspension that does not compare to Camaro’s independent rear suspension. Looking at engines, Mustang’s 4.0L V6 engine oers 94 less hp than Camaro’s smaller and more ecient V6. Comparing V8 engines, Mustang’s 4.6L output is 315 hp, only 11 more than our V6, but that is around 100 hp less than Camaro’s 6.2L V8. And Camaro’s V8 uel economy bests Mustang by 1 mpg in the city and up to 3 mpg on the highway. As or transmissions, Camaro utilizes 6-speed units while Mustang has only 5-speed units. Camaro SS includes 20-inch wheels and tires. Mustang
