Mustang Research Paper

Improved Essays
When people say American Muscle you don’t think of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini; you think of a Mustang or a Camaro. The Ford Mustang is assembled in the United States. Unlike Camaro and Challenger; which are assembled in Canada. Mustangs are light, small, and fast cars. Everybody should drive a Mustang because they are inexpensive vehicles.
First Mustangs are inexpensive vehicles, in comparison to other muscle cars you see in America. A 2015 Ford Mustang MSRP, which stands for manufacturer suggested retail price is $24,425 for an automatic (“2010”). Making payments of $382 a month. The MSRP on a Camaro is $24,700 with monthly payments of $354 (“2015 Camaro”). A $275 difference may not seem like much but it takes off of the monthly payments.

They get great gas mileage, with 15/25 miles per gallon (“2015 Ford”). It gets about 19 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway (“Ford”). Combined it gets about 23 mpg. The Camaro gets around 16/24 mpg. In rank the Ford Mustang is first, then the Chevy Camaro, then the Dodge Challenger (“2015 Mustang”).
Secondly when comparing the Mustang GT and the Camaro SS one of the main things people want to know is which car is faster. The Mustang has 435 horsepower and the Camaro has 426 horsepower (“2015 Ford”). Weight also plays a big role in telling which car is faster. The Mustang weighs 3,705 pounds and the Camaro weighs 3,908 pounds. The 203 pound difference can make a big difference in telling which car is faster. The mustang has a top seed of 164; the Camaro has a top speed of 156 (“Ford”). If you were on the other side and liked Camaro’s you would argue that they faster than the Mustang. It takes both the Camaro and the mustang 4.5 seconds to get from 0-60 (Ford). The Camaro SS has a 6.2 Liter V8 engine in it; which is the size of the motor (Ford). The SS comes with upgrades on gearing, suspension, and tires. The V6 Camaro is the faster then the Mustang V6 (“2015 Camaro”). The Camaro puts out 323 horsepower and the Mustang only puts out 300 horsepower (“2015
