Ford Mustang CS850GT vs Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - modified American muscle cars compared

When London-based muscle car importer Clive Sutton offered us a drive in its latest modified offering, the Ford Mustang CS850GT, the only thing to do was to organise a welcoming party involving Silverstone-s Stowe Circuit and a bit of friendly competition in the form of a similarly tricked-up Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Most rivals would have wilted in the face of this mighty tuned Mustang-s 850bhp and 665lb ft of torque; but owner Gary Handa-s specially supercharged Camaro develops 770bhp itself. Both of these cars would do supercar-rivalling dragstrip standing-quarter-mile times. But which would be the more usable daily-driver? Which has more bleeding-heart V8 drama and soul? And, most importantly, which would you choose? Let Autocar testers Matt Prior and Richard Lane be your guides

Richard lane comes across as a rather pompously arrogant snob. The Camaro's way more agricultural than the Mustang and certainly looks bigger and fatter it is rather more difficult to see out of yet he unashamedly ignored in the Camaro all the things he faulted the Mustang for. The fact is they are both aftermarket modifications of cars and so the ride and sound shouldn't be mentioned comparatively and in their home market the Camaro lags behind the Mustang in every single guise out of the factory. Their cars their their market they know better than the snob.

Both great cars but clearly they're not perfectly reliable. The Camaro throwing tantrum signals and the Mustang also sounded a bit off in places while accelerating. Not sure if those issues has to do with the aftermarket mods or the cars themselves but I think I'd be more at peace with a stock Camaro ZL1. Or, for 65-70K, an M340i.

RIGHT hand drive GM muscle cars from WALKIBSHAW AUSTRALIA. Made BETTER than factory.
They make everything in house. From mirror dash to engine bay modifications. The whole car, down to floor, engine bay. Everything pulled apart and put back together with exactly the same, but mirrored stuff

Something don't sound right with that Mustang, sounds like its stuttering, having driven Whipple powered ones they should just scream, that car sounds really bad, like its not healthy and Matt seems to be really not pushing it hard.

The Camaro is bigger than the Mustang but the interior is tighter. The -pillbox- view is claustrophobic with MASSIVE blindspots. Moreover, you're comparing a car modded to fix the problems with the factory version. Mustang wins

Real shame the Camaro is so ugly, automatic transmission, and claustrophobic. No idea why you would ever get that coffin. The Camaro makes a Mistake seem spacious.

Never driven a Mustang. Have driven a 2018 Camaro SS, and loved it! So I'll take the Zl1. As they said, amazing value for money compared to Euro sports cars.

Two guys driving round a Track, the occasional smirk as one hangs the tail out, I-d like to see more of the outside of the cars going fast round a Track.

Can someone explain to me why American sports cars always feel -big- but the likes of Bentley, Rolls Royce, any European GT, never do?
