Ford Mustang vs Chevy Camaro; Who's Safer?

Let's talk about the 2011 Ford Mustang. The Mustang ranked number 1 out 4 Muscle Cars. It is the only vehicle in its class that is equipped with more than 300 horsepower to net over 30mpg. The Mustang V6 also has a new engine. It is a 3.7 liter V6 that creates 305 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at ,4250. That's a lot more horsepower and torque than what was in last year's model, which could probably be purchased at Cars For Sale Palm Bay.

The 2011 Mustang has not yet been tested, but the 2010 model received five stars in front and side impacts as well as rollover tests. The vehicle is equipped with dual -stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, all speed traction control and Advance Trac electronic stability control. This vehicle also comes with a feature that I think all cars should come with. It is called MyKey. MyKey is designed for parents to help teach their teenagers safe driving habits. MyKey does a number of things. It will limit the top speed of the vehicle to 80 mph, it will also disable the audio system when seatbelts are not being used and it will sound a persistent chime when the vehicle's speed hits 45, 55, and 65 mph. Pretty important feature I think if you are a parent with a driving teenager.

Ford also has a pretty good warranty package. They offer three year/36,000 mile basic warranty and five year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty, along with a five year/60,000 mile roadside assistance.

Now the new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, which can be found at Akron Chevrolet or Bedford Chevrolet, was ranked 2 out of 4 Muscle Cars. The Camaro LS, 1LT, and the 2LT features a 3.6 liter V6 engine that creates 312 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 278 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. The Carmaro V6 has a seven horsepower advantage over the all new Mustang V6.

The 2011 Camaro also received four out of five stars in frontal impact crash tests and a perfect score of five stars for driver side crashes. They also scored five stars on rollover tests. The vehicle comes equipped with dual-stage front and side impact airbags for front seat occupants and head curtain side impact airbags for all passengers. The Camaro also comes with four wheel anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control with traction control.

Chevrolet also offers a great warranty package. They have a three year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Five year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Roadside assistance and courtesy transportation is offered for five years/100,000 miles.

Even though the 2011 Chevy Camaro is a little faster than the 2011 Ford Mustang, I would have to choose the Mustang just for the pure fact it is safer and it offers MyKey. You just can't beat that feature.
