Imagine a 2001 Ford Mustang GT, and a 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Lined up side by side at a red light, their engines shaking the ground around them. The light turns green and they both push the gas pedal to the floor and take off burning tires. Who will win the race? Will it be the shorter and lighter Mustang, or the longer and heavier Camaro? The three primary factors in determining the difference in speed of the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are the engine, the weight, and the body styles.
. . .
The body styles of both cars also play a major part in the speed. The only way to find out truly which one is faster, would be to take them both to a drag strip or an abandoned road and line them up side by side, and set them off. This motor pushes out a stronger three hundred and ten horsepower, with three hundred and forty foot-pounds of torque. The Mustang is fifty-three point one inches tall and seventy-three point one inches long. Since the Camaro is not as high as the Mustang then it is more aerodynamic, which creates less wind down force, and lets the Camaro slice through the wind with ease. The Ford Mustang has a two hundred and eighty one cubic inch, four-point six-liter motor, that pushes out two hundred and sixty horsepower and three hundred and two foot-pounds of torque, which is the amount of force the motor is putting out at its strongest point. This may make for a smoother ride, but it does not do much for the racing aspect because the extra length causes drag that slows the car down. Both cars have the same wheelbase, but the Camaro is ten inches longer than the Mustang. determining which car is faster is the engine and the horsepower the engine puts out. The Mustang is not quite as wide as the Camaro, which makes up for some of the loss in height. Many Chevy lovers will always say that the Camaro is faster, as well as, a ford lovers will say that the Mustang is faster. Even though the Mustang has fewer horsepower, it is lighter than the Camaro, and therefore has less of a load on the motor, which makes up for the forty horsepower difference. The Chevrolet Camaro is fifty one-point two inches tall and seventy-four point one inches wide. The Camaro has a larger and stronger engine under the hood, with a three hundred and fifty cubic inch, five-point seven-liter motor.
