Nit picking about the visibility has been an issue since the 4th gen. I have been driving Camaros since the 3rd gen so i am used to it.
Camaro was the winner as it should be it looks better then the mustang in all areas IMHO.

If I we're looking for a convertible, it would be Mustang for me. It's just a much better grand tourer.

2SS vert m6: 3,956 A8: 3,969
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showp...97&postcount=5 GT Premium A10: 3,825 Although google says 3825, most links say "base" curb weight which is probably the M6, not the A10. https://www.google.com/search?q=2018...hrome&ie=UTF-8 And this Ford PDF says 3,852 for the GT Convertible.https://media.ford.com/content/dam/f...18-mustang.pdf So unless the hot wheels edition porked up by another 70lbs (which I doubt), as tested it was 131 lbs lighter if you believe google... probably only 100 lbs difference A10 vs. A10. |

Comparing an M6 Camaro to an A10 Mustang, then harping on fuel efficiency differences, well...

The funny thing is that with automatic transmission should improve fuel efficiency ... or at least give an advantage to the mustang on the Camaro that has manual transmission, which does not seem to be the case.... a menos que haya una falsa aquí

Me too Gunkk! Funny, with my 650hp A10 I've been averaging 19.3 mpg even with many spirited runs, lol! Also, just "maybe" the SS poor gas mileage was that they kept dumping the clutch and the Mustang was hardly pushed! They could have at least compared an auto VS auto as others have suggested, just hate reviews like this when they use a manual VS auto....

The coupes are being weighed at 3850 lbs. The convertible gt is probably 4000 + lbs

As much as I lobbied for a Camaro, my wife decided on a Mustang. After three years of ownership, I have to admit the Mustang is working out well as a GT. We travel to the Florida panhandle a few times a year and the Mustang has quite a bit of trunk space and I do like that the top is completely segregated from the trunk. The top stays on while we're on the interstate, but once we get to Hwy. 98, I drop the top. No worries about shifting any luggage around. Nice relaxed ride.

I don't think I have ever priced out drop top cars....holy hell those things are expensive!
About what I expected. Mustang was the clear choice for everyday but as a weekend car they enjoyed the Camaro much more. |
