Camaro LT
0 - 30 (sec): 2.5
0 - 45 (sec): 4.1
0 - 60 (sec): 6.1
0 - 75 (sec): 9.0
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.3 @ 98.0
0 - 60 with 1-ft Rollout (sec): 5.7
30 - 0 (ft): 28
60 - 0 (ft): 111.78
Braking Rating: Good
Slalom (mph): 68.2
Skid Pad Lateral Acceleration (g): 0.86

Acceleration Comments: There's good speed here, but the V6 doesn't do anything to satisfy from a sound or feel perspective. Shifts are met with an unpleasant wind-up in the powertrain. Shifter is high in effort and somewhat notchy, but finds gears without a fight.
Braking Comments: Very good stopping distance, but pedal feel is lacking. Hard to determine if ABS is active with a pedal this soft. Not confidence-inspiring at the limit.
Handling Comments: Largely the same less-than-inspiring feel of the V8 Camaro. Front tires wash out with little feel or feedback on the skid pad, and despite decent numbers, the V6 Camaro isn't terribly satisfying in these tests either. Again, it feels as if this chassis is constantly trying to manage a huge wheel and tire combo. Nothing here is truly bad, but it's also not truly rewarding.

Mustang V6
Test Results:
0 - 30 (sec): 2.2
0 - 45 (sec): 3.8
0 - 60 (sec): 5.6
0 - 75 (sec): 8.1
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 13.9 @ 101.2
0 - 60 with 1-ft Rollout (sec): 5.3
30 - 0 (ft): 26
60 - 0 (ft): 103
Braking Rating: Excellent
Slalom (mph): 68.6
Skid Pad Lateral Acceleration (g): 0.91

Acceleration Coments: Holy crap, this is a hard-running V6, more than enough power to overwhelm its tires leaving the line. Managing wheelspin is key in this car to get good acceleration times. Also gets good rubber on the 2-3 shift. Tranny doesn't like to rush that shift, however. We missed 3rd gear several times. Otherwise, though, this is a powerful, free-revving, nice-sounding V6.
Braking Comments: 103 feet? From a Mustang? Wow. Pedal feel isn't anything special, but there's no sign of fade and the short distance is outstanding.
Handling Comments: Truly impressive manners from a live-axle car. Balance is good as is typical with recent Mustangs, but there's more than that. There's a true sense of what's happening at the wheels with this Mustang, which provides ample driver confidence. And it's better than the independently sprung Camaro in both tests. Ford is doing something right.

I believe someone ran a v6 camaro @ 13.9 not sure if it was 100% stock though gotta check out the thread again, nice numbers though 98mph seems a bit low.

This would be one of the better V6 comparisons as it was same day, same surface type test.

Its all about the price of mustang. If it will cost at least 1-1.5k more over camaro, u will just have to put this 1-1.5k to add few mods to camaro and run 5.5 easy. So u will have the same power car BUT...! U will own the way better quality Chevy, not Ford... AND! u will still have the best evil design car ever been made. Ever.

If this is a argument about going fast for the best price you would not buy the camaro or stang.

Camaro base MSRP: 23,530

Mustang base MSRP: 22,995

So the Camaro runs $535 more.

Yep its all about both. Going pretty fast with 300+ hp and be the best looking on the road.

What? Anyways, the Camaro LS starts out at 23530 and the Mustang V6 at 22995, how is the Mustang 1k-1.5k more expensive?

I think its better to wait until stang will come out for sale. Then i will take the price with all options similar to my camaro and then compare the price.

What trim is your Camaro and what options does it have? We can do a price comparison right now......

Ford is much higher rated in quality than GM. I believe Ford is #1 actually. They were #2 behind Toyota, but with recent events I think Ford has overtaken them.
