2011 Mustang V6 To Out-Torque Camaro V6

We already knew the 3.7-liter V6-powered 2011 Ford Mustang has a power output of 315 HP at 5,250 RPM. Sources now tell us peak torque will be 275 lb-ft at 3,500 RPM. Camaro-comparo graph below.
When the folks at The Mustang Source dropped power output numbers on the both the "Coyote"-powered 2011 Mustang GT and the 3.7-liter V6-powered 2011 Mustang, we'd only heard what horsepower would look like. And it looked strong — a Camaro V6-killing 315 HP.
Now sources have leaked to us the torque numbers and they're set to provide the same kind of a smack down — 275 lb-ft of torque. While that bests the 2010 Camaro V6 by merely 2 lb-ft, as we all know, the muscle car wars have always been a game of whipping power numbers out of your pants. So on the budget side — Ford's V6 looks like they'll win this round. Here's a quick graph we've worked up to show you the full secretary car tale of the tape:
