With the release of the new Mustang GT Premium Ford redefines the sport coupe rules - delivering a segment-shattering V8 to Saskatchewan. This engine is crafted from lightweight aluminum and assisted by roller finger followers. Port fuel and direct injection technologies are perfectly paired, assuring optimal resource consumption; while an MT82 D4 six-speed manual transmission comes standard, offering peerless operator control. These elements combine to achieve superior power, with the pony earning up to 486 HP and 418 lb.-ft of torque.
The Chevy Camaro LT1 isn’t so accommodating.
Offered on this coupe is a 6.2L V8. Despite the larger configuration - and the assistance of a similar six-speed manual transmission - the LT1 generates a mere 455 HP. While it offers a comparative 0 to 60 output to the Mustang (4.3 seconds versus 4.1 seconds), its top-speed fails to impress. Chevy drivers can expect to earn 150 MPH, while Ford fans will achieve 155 MPH.
The Winner: 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium.
While the new Ford Mustang GT Premium thrills with its Coyote engine, it also promises an exceptional ride - with its interior tailored for comfort. Slide inside and discover leather seating, complete with six-way power adjusters and lumbar support. The front cushions boast heating and cooling technologies, while dual-zone automatic climate controls further improve the cabin. Additionally, this coupe features generous dimensions (44.5 inches, 29.0 inches of leg room; 37.6 inches, 34.8 inches of head room) to accommodate up to four passengers.
Slipping inside the LT1 won’t prove quite so comfortable.
Passengers will be greeted by standard cloth seating in the Camaro - as well as a lack of heating and ventilation technologies (those require an upgrade). Additionally, leg room will prove scarce, with only 43.9 inches available in the front. This will compromise comfort on long trips.
The Winner: 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium.
