It's a college essay. It's not supposed to be easy. Now buckle and start researching on your own. We're not always going to be here to do your work for you.

Okay, first you have to decide if your talking brand new vs brand new. Because as far as the mustang goes there is a big difference between 2010 and 2011 or higher. After that I can give you a sea of cliff notes as to what both sides believe to make one better over the other. (Eventhough I shouldn't be doing you're homework for you)

i still think u should help me out!
i would like to stick between the 2010's. that way it is similar, for year wise. Also, it will help prove the point that i am trying to make the camaro is better.
My introductory is good, only making an outline right now
first paragraph gonna do it on styling (exterior, interior) i need help on wording this! lol
second, power/performance (HP, TQ, MPG)
third, on packages offered (RS package/Premium PKG. Here i will mention the 2012's gt500/ZL1 magnetic ride, more hp in zl1)

Just throwing this out there, but you seem to be cherry picking your argument, especially by including the 2012 ZL1 in your 2010 vs. 2010 paper (and ignoring the MY2011 Mustangs altogether) which at least IMO would come off as bad as some magazine articles where you can almost see the money trail dicatating the winner.

Your paper would stand up better if it just focused on the 2010 vs. 2010

The easiest argument for the Camaro you can make here is that the Camaro was a more comprehinsively equipped car at a slightly higher price point in comparison and when you ticked off the options for the Mustang it ended up being more expensive yet still could not be had with some features like the IRS and a 400+ HP engine in the regular car.

Is this just a persuasive paper your turning in to your instructor (who may or may not be a car enthusiast) and/or is this gonna be some peer reviewed project with the possiblity of a Mustang nutswinger waiting in the wings to drop an atomic bomb on your work?

To the OP this is really easy. Just go to ford's website and build a 2010 GT with all the options, do the same with a 2010 SS. Compare the lists. Compare 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times. Who cares how accurate things are as long as they are reasonable. I suspect this is a freshmen or sophmore level course so the presentation of your writing skills has more weight than the actual material.

Secondly if you need help wording a paragraph about styling I think you're in trouble as a college student. Just describe the styling of the cars the same way you would describe it to one of your parents.
