Here we go with a head to head battle featuring the 2011 5-liter Coyote Mustang GT and 5th Gen 2010 6.2-liter Camaro SS to determine who gets the bragging rights in the true bolt-on power battle. Each Car has used BBK Performance parts to even the playing fields. PowerTV's beautiful Jessica Barton was the referee for the battle royale! Camaro or Mustang - which car will make the most horsepower and torque - watch the video and see which car wins our product test and dyno shoot out using basic bolt on performance parts like a BBK Performance Power Plus Throttle Body and Cold Air Intake system along with the CNC series full length long tube BBK headers and x pipes. Lets see what happens
Camaro SS
Stock: 356.88 rwhp and 360.53 rwtq
With CAI, throttle body, full exhaust: 400.64 rwhp and 404.35 rwtq
Gain with full exhaust: 21.73 rwhp and 29.54 rwtq
Total Gain: 43.76 rwhp and 43.82 rwtq
Mustang GT
Stock: 370.61 rwhp and 340.80 rwtq
With CAI, throttle body, full exhaust: 406.15 rwhp and 378.45 rwtq
Gain with full exhaust: 24.66 rwhp and 13.67 rwtq
Total Gain: 35.54 rwhp and 37.65 rwtq
A Few Final words about this story are that the cars each have an advantage in stock form, with the Mustang winning the horsepower war and the Camaro taking the win when it comes to torque. That’s still a bit surprising, since the Camaro’s LS3 has more displacement by a fairly significant margin, more than 70 cubic-inches, than the 5.0 in the Mustang. When Jessica drove both cars before and after the installation, she said, “There is definitely a noticeable gain in performance between the two vehicles. While the Mustang feels like it pulls harder in the higher RPMs, the Camaro feels like it has more low RPM grunt.” After our three rounds of bolt-ons, both cars responded in similar fashion, with the Camaro seeing the most gains. How does that translate into street performance? The real winner will have to be decided at the track.
