Tested 33k Mustang vs 38K Camaro

We drove a $33,000 Ford Mustang and a $38,000 Chevy Camaro to see which was the better entry level iconic sports car — here's the verdict.

“Normally, when we compare competing vehicles, we don't have a runaway winner. But this time around, the EcoBoost Mustang trounced the Camaro turbo.”

LMAO if someone paid 38k for a 4 banger Camaro I don't care what car you compare it to, you lost your ass.

Lousy article with zero actual info, by the way I had a 2015 Stang GT, and I like my 2017 Turbo Camaro a lot more, she mentions plasticky interior, my mustang was the cheapest turd interior of any recent car and had rattles out the ass.

This was written by a Stang Lover for sure.

I'm sure there's going to be someone who says the test isn't valid because they should have used the V6 Camaro or some other reason.

Well, the v6 is what competes with the EB mustang. It's just that Mustang recently dropped the base engine that the Camaro turbo competed with.

I don't care for the 2.0t. I've never driven a Camaro with it, but lots of other cars and never cared for it.

What the hell is up with the hood on the Stang? Look tacked on by a 16-year old

Very much an article lacking information no matter which care they would have chosen.

Silverado is using a new 2.7L turbo 4, 310HP/348TQ. I think a version of that would be a better fit for the camaro.

I've driven an ATS with 2.0 and it felt strong.. The Camaro is even lighter. Wouldn't buy either of these cars without a v8 though.

No idea what they were smoking, except if their conclusion had already been made before hitting the first key to write this article... $38k? 1LT, 2.0 turbo 4-cyl, auto trans, RS package:

You know right off the bat it's an unbiased review without any favoritism when the cars are refered to as "the 'Stang and the mullet-mobile"
