We're comparing same year to same year here. This guy was trying to say the base V6 Camaro was always faster than the Mustang GT/5.0 of the same year.

Even with 200 V-6 HP the heavier Camaro would not even come close to taking out a 5.0 Mustang. 0-60 was in the mid 7's to 8 seconds vs 6.2 stock on the Mustang. I have seen so many people on this forum claim to beat 5.0's with V-6 Camaros. Funny how it never happened in all the years I owned Mustangs out in the real world. Most of the Camaro guys would play with the radio or look the other way when I came up next to them at a light. Hmmmm... If you put the LT1 or LS1 Camaro up against the Mustang of the same year then yes the Mustang will lose... but there hasn't been a V-6 powered Camaro yet that can touch a V-8 Mustang of the same year, so enough already.
