Compare and contrasting two cars Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles. The Camaro ZL1 is an interesting and amazing machine with power and potential. The massive engine is a LS1 V8 engine that holds 580 tones of horsepower and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 556 cubic inches of made power. This is the same amount of cubic inches as the Corvette. With a horse power of 460, this race car accelerates from an amazing 0-60 miles per hour in 3.8 Seconds. The Camaro has a TREMEC® 6-speed manual (MG9) transmission, possessing a first gear ratio of 2.66:1 with a Torsen limited slip differential. In the ¼ mile run, which is a slandered length for a race car, the Corvette runs about 3.8seconds at 460 miles per hour. The forced air induction from the hood scoop of the Camaro adds to the extreme power of the car.
Not only is the performance of the Camaro wonderful, but the style of this car is beautiful as well. It is offered in many colors such as Arctic while, Sebring Silver, Light Pewter Metallic, Black Hugger Orange, Bright Blue Metallic, Bright red, Mystic
