    Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while.

The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…

    In the 2010 models the winner of the styling contest is a bit of a toss-up. Both rides sit low while showing off their muscular curves. There is less than a fine line when determining whether smooth curves or ripped definition defines sexy styling. The Camaro features aggressive sharp angles while the mustang appears aerodynamic and speedy. The Mustang's grill is slim in contrast to gaping mouth of the Camaro. The interior styling seals the deal for those with the pocketbooks to consider test-driving. Ford has implemented premium styling in their Mustang. Chevy's interior design for the Camaro is unique and striking. The Mustang's short shift knob is a sleek and shiny aluminum, while the Camaro shows off a sexy jet black leather knob. The Camaro shows off an array of performance gauges located under the stereos message center and air conditioning controls. Chevy adds excitement with colorful accents to the doors, seats, and dashboard. While the Mustang lacks this sort of abstract appeal, Ford offers up a classy approach. Customizable dashboard lights and a gigantic 8 inch touch-screen message center, featuring a modern GPS system. Up-scale trim gives the Mustang a superior soft-touch feel. Overall these observations are less than the deciding factor-the buyers and fans. Taste will separate the buyers. Muscle car allegiance will separate the true…
