2021 Ford Mustang: Pros Over The Camaro
More Power
If you want the bragging rights, the "pub ammo," the ability to raise eyebrows high and warp faces at full throttle, it's the Mustang that offers the most extreme performance model. Of course, we're talking about the monstrous Shelby GT500. Its 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 develops a whopping 760 hp — up 110 horses on the most powerful Camaro ZL1.
