Who wins in my pic of the Mustang vs. Camaro?
 

I was at Daytona watching the NASCAR practice today and just by chance these two cars crossed
paths and I was able to snap this pic from my vantage point.

The Mustang is a Shelby GT500 and the Camaro is a HTR 800.

Two cars designed and built to compete against the other but the question begs, who would win?

Who would win in what category?

And to answer your question, I know Redline makes HTR-525, HTR-600 and HTR-750, but I'm not familiar with the HTR-800. If it's anything like the HTR-750, it would dominate the Shelby in most categories (almost apples and oranges to compare the two).

:2 cents:

gt500 is a 5.4L with supercharger.. the camaro is a 6.2L n/a

540hp vs. 430hp

gt500 is 200lb heavier

I looked closer at another pic and it is indeed an HTR-600. Looked like an 8 until I zoomed it in. I'd never heard of one till today. My mistake. It did sound badass though :winkwink:

opps didnt read the text on top...

htr800 = 800hp

htr600 = 600hp & less weight takes the win

not sure if redline counts the hp at the crank or the rear wheels

ford counts it at the crank

Actually, the HTR Camaro is an LS7 (427cu.in) producing right around 600hp

That makes sense. They are a little pricey but still pretty sweet and, you're right, they sound amazing. :thumbsup

Mustang would win, cause I like Mustangs.

Audi FTW

nice cars!

Sweet cars but they look the same

The correct answer: Neither will win. :Graucho

Nobody wins when you buy American cars.

great car !

I also like mustangs so I am rooting for the mustang and one day im gonna be the proud owner of one :)

the camaro is simply jaw dropping... i need one

meh... mustang looks better

Me love camaro bumblebee long time !

Looks like a chick driving the Camaro lol

I think the Camaro looks sexier :)

black one... :)

It would be a stupid comparison. That Camaro is a highly modified car with a huge cam, won't pass emissions, aftermarket headers, gears, suspension, weight reduction, light weight forged wheels, drag radials, etc..Dump enough money in modifications and any car can be made fast.

The GT500 is a bone stock factory car lol.

Oh, and FYI from the factory the Camaro is 3900lbs with an aluminum naturally aspirated motor with non-forged cast iron pistons.

The GT500 is 3920lbs with an IRON, fully forged motor with a blower, intercooler and all the supporting goodies.

Absolutely. You should stick with Hondas and Toyotas. :winkwink:

the win both

This is hard to decide...

It would be stupid to call them equal but to compare them would be fun. We now know the Camaro would win most stats
because it has been modified. It would have taken a keen eye to figure that out from the pic I posted so I went
ahead and stated that it was a HTR-600 so we could start from there.

For me it was a classic Chevy vs. Ford in a chance passing and this time Chevy wins ( with a little help ):thumbsup

Sigh, my first car was a 1967 Mustang, very kewl back then with the turn signal lights mounted in the hood, straight six, and 3-speed on the floor, top speed 97 mph. Second car was a 1968, Candy Apple Red Z-28, 302 V-8, Hurst 4-on-the-floor, with a top speed somewhere over 165 mph.

Both cars were awesome but the favorite was and always will be the Camaro however if the Mustang had been a Shelby back then, well that might be different today then.

The sad thing is that I paid $700 for the Mustang in 1974 and $1700 for the Camaro in 1976, tell me wouldn't I like to have those investments today. :Oh crap

I like the stories where a young guy gives up a car like your $1700 Camaro goes through life and makes enough money to buy back his car at the inflated price because he can. Don't give up hope but remember there is no money in porn :winkwink:

I'd rather have an Audi or a Mercedes than either of those. But for now I'll just stick with my BMW.

The Mustang, for sure!!!

My fully loaded 4 door, power everything, leather, sunroof, dvd navigation and automatic transmission car is faster then both of them and cost relatively the same.

AMG FTW

wow, 31 posts and rochard hasnt come in here to tell us how awesome his 10 year old shitty stock mustang is? must be some kind of record.

LOLOL, not to rag on his car because I have no clue what it is but I have a red stock mustang that is a basic little car and every place I go I get people raving about it like it is the best car ever or something. I did put some black rims on it. But when I drive my Corvette which is my bad ass car no one says anything. Go figure.
My 2001 camaro has 12K miles on it. Still my favorite

Guess the Mustang.The Chevy has a great design.

I assume you are referring to the C63 and, while the C63 is a beautiful and amazing vehicle, the HTR Camaro is a bit faster (just over a full second faster in the quarter). Personally, however, I too would take the AMG over either of these. :winkwink:

Are you guys saying that an AMG like this one I saw last Saturday is better than that HTR-600 :)
