camaro has always had more power I think, especially in later years. I think the mustangs tend to hold up a little better though, specially the rear end.

Mustangs were the car to have in 87-93, once Chevy started with the LT1 they were running circles around Mustangs... Now the LS1's are killing Mustangs... A stock LS1 car run lowwwww 13's stock and Mustangs struggle to get a high 13, some freak cars can get a mid 13's, but Camaro's are out performing them by far....

i know it is hard to admit but i thank you all for not being bias please keep the comment coming

that pretty much sums it up, the LS1's are amazing, and have great potential too. My buddy has an auto '98 Z28 and with gears, stall converter and a cam the car ran 12.3 on street tires [:@]

excluding the 60's and 70's (cause im not sure either were really productive in the 73+ genre :)

80's-92 it was a 5.0 dominated discussion
93-97 LT1's put a whooping on the 5.0 and new 4.6's... cobras in 96-98 were about on part with a LT1

98-02 (when F-Bodys stopped) it was even uglier because of tehe LS1.. it dominates 99-04 GT's and 99,01 Cobras

03-04 Mach 1's 05+ GT's are considered to be very close to a LS1,
but the 03-04 Cobra with is s/c 32V 4.6 is called the Terminator for good reason :)

Between 87-93, the Mustang was the car to have.....until 1998 when GM put the Corvette 350TPI into the Iroc-z. For whatever reason, no magazines matched up the 5.7TPI up against the 5.0. Stock vs stock for a G-92 350TPI vs a 5.0, the 5.7 will win.

But anyways, 94-04 GM just mopped the floor with Mustangs, minus the 03/04 Cobra.

Mustangs do not hold up any better than F-bodies, infact F-bodies mechanically are much more sound & have much more potential. While they have typical door sag & GM 10 bolt rear issues, Mustangs are known for sloppy automatics, extremely weak 5 speeds and poor bang for your buck capabilities.

After counting in everything,

I say they were =

RE: stock camaro vs stock mustang
 

i thought the LT1 was dropped into the Camaro/Firebird in '93

and is 19998 supposed to be 1988?

RE: stock camaro vs stock mustang
 

f-bodys started in 93 with the LT1

and for camaros, the 4L60-E tranny is just as fast as the stick if not faster, fords auto in the stangs sucks, the 5 speeds can be somewhat sloppy to, and even the 3800 camaros were faster then the V-6 stangs, they were capable of high 14s
