RE: stock camaro vs stock mustang
Mustangs were the car to have in 87-93, once Chevy started with the LT1 they were running circles around Mustangs... Now the LS1's are killing Mustangs... A stock LS1 car run lowwwww 13's stock and Mustangs struggle to get a high 13, some freak cars can get a mid 13's, but Camaro's are out performing them by far....

RE: stock camaro vs stock mustang
excluding the 60's and 70's (cause im not sure either were really productive in the 73+ genre
80's-92 it was a 5.0 dominated discussion
93-97 LT1's put a whooping on the 5.0 and new 4.6's... cobras in 96-98 were about on part with a LT1
98-02 (when F-Bodys stopped) it was even uglier because of tehe LS1.. it dominates 99-04 GT's and 99,01 Cobras
03-04 Mach 1's 05+ GT's are considered to be very close to a LS1,
but the 03-04 Cobra with is s/c 32V 4.6 is called the Terminator for good reason

Between 87-93, the Mustang was the car to have.....until 1998 when GM put the Corvette 350TPI into the Iroc-z. For whatever reason, no magazines matched up the 5.7TPI up against the 5.0. Stock vs stock for a G-92 350TPI vs a 5.0, the 5.7 will win.
But anyways, 94-04 GM just mopped the floor with Mustangs, minus the 03/04 Cobra.
Mustangs do not hold up any better than F-bodies, infact F-bodies mechanically are much more sound & have much more potential. While they have typical door sag & GM 10 bolt rear issues, Mustangs are known for sloppy automatics, extremely weak 5 speeds and poor bang for your buck capabilities.

f-bodys started in 93 with the LT1
and for camaros, the 4L60-E tranny is just as fast as the stick if not faster, fords auto in the stangs sucks, the 5 speeds can be somewhat sloppy to, and even the 3800 camaros were faster then the V-6 stangs, they were capable of high 14s
