Even so, the [Camaro SS]() is going down swinging, as a quick comparison against the new Mustang GT shows it'll hold up remarkably well as it nears 7 years old. Let's start with a look at the new Mustang. The GT model continues to be powered by the 5.0-liter, all-aluminum Coyote V8, which Ford claims will be the most powerful GT ever, with a new dual-throttle intake. That confirms power will exceed the 450 HP of today's GT, and may land somewhere near the [Mach 1]()'s 470 if not beyond. ![]() ![]() The Camaro is powered by the venerable 6.2-liter, cam-in-block V8, which makes 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. That's more torque than the current Mustang's 420 lb-ft, and they come on 1,000 rpm earlier, potentially leaving the next-gen Mustang with ground to make up. Both cars offer six-speed manual and 10-speed automatic transmissions, standard limited-slip differentials, and can be spec'd with magnetic damping and six-piston Brembo front brake calipers. On the Camaro though, those Brembos come with four-piston rears, which Ford hasn't confirmed will be available on the new Mustang GT. The Camaro also offers an E-LSD, and starts a good 45 pounds lighter than the 2024 Mustang, which comes in at a porky 3,730 pounds. On account of the marginally larger body dimensions, the Mustang has a significant edge in trunk space, with 13.3 cubic feet (in the hardtop) to the Camaro's 9.1 cubic feet. ![]() ![]() The Camaro's apparent advantage in performance however hasn't been enough to appeal to American car buyers, [who have all but forgotten the poor-selling Camaro](). As such, [the Camaro is reportedly slated to bow out in 2023](), with no apparent replacement planned. GM has [teased a potential two-door performance EV in its vein](), but nothing concrete so far. The Mustang meanwhile has already crossed the threshold into the electrified age with the [Mach-E]() crossover. It looks like the Camaro and the next-gen Mustang's time together will be brief—if they even get to coexist at all. *Got a tip or question for the author?
