Autocar has raced the 6.2-litre V8 powered Chevrolet Camaro SS against the new 5.0-litre Ford Mustang Boss 302 in a straight line on a runway and here are the results.
The Mustang Boss 302 took 5 seconds flat to get to 60 mph from a stand still, and 33.11 seconds to reach the 1 mile distance at a speed of 150.15 mph. Pricing in the UK starts at 41,000 GBP and for that amount you’ll get 444 bhp and 280 lb-ft of torque under the bonnet.
Its rival, the Camaro SS went from nought to 60 mph in 5.44 seconds, while the 1 mile mark was passed after 35.54 seconds at 146.32 mph. In this case pricing starts at 35,000 GBP after import in the UK, and this figure corresponds to 400 bhp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
Even though these two models should have been closer when put to the test, Autocar thinks they are quite different, and that the Ford Mustang Boss 302 does actually redefine what a muscle-car should be, so follow the jump and hit play to see their arguments in favor of that conclusion.
