2011 Mustang V.S. 2010 Chevy Camaro
A Look at Both Models
The 2011 Mustang and the 2010 Chevy Camaro are running head to head!
The results are in! Americans have voted, and the 2011 Ford Mustang has defeated the Chevy Camaro by 70%! Both cars have been redesigned to have retro looks, and not much has changed on the outside for the already gorgeous Mustang. What has changed, however, is the engine. The 2011 Mustang V6 will have a new 3.7L engine, and the V8 will be sporting a 5.0L engine. This finally brings the Mustang, which is a couple of hundred pounds lighter, to Camaro power levels, and it does it with better fuel economy.
Why America Chose The Mustang
Aside from better fuel economy, the people have agreed that the 2011 Mustang has the better interior. Many fans on automotive sites have said that it looks like a modern version of the original design, and is stunning, while the Camaro’s interior looks somewhat like the original, but not nearly as modern. Also, the buttons seem oddly shaped, and the interior just seems to look less classy because it is made with cheaper looking materials. According to Ford, the Mustang also offers customization of instrument lighting with the My Color system, which provides 125 colors to choose from, and the best you can expect from the Camaro is Bluetooth connectivity.
However, the verdict is the new Camaro is likely to get more head turns than the 2011 Mustang. This is due to the menacing exterior of the Camaro. However, the new generation of Mustangs are looking better than the last, and will most likely bypass the Camaro in coming years.
