Ford NEUTERED the V6 HP in order to elevate their ecoboost, they even devalued the V6 HP a bit in order for it not to compete with the ecoboost. As a matter of fact, I was expecting Ford to add Direct Injection to the V6, which the Camaro V6 has, but they did not. Additionally they removed the availability of the Track Pack from the V6. But still, the V6 Mustang can hold its own. The automatic Camaro turbo is listed by GM at 3339 lbs, a 0-60 of 5.4 and a 1/4 mi of 14.0 at 99, .85g’s. Just FYI a heavier 2015 Caddy ATS coupe tested by CD, which the Camaro shares the chassis/engine/trannys, at 3,479 lbs with the turbo 4 pulled 0-60 5.7, ¼ mi at 14.1@101. CD also tested a 2015 Ford Mustang V6 auto, and, at 3,588 lbs it had the following perf stats: 0-60 5.5, ¼ mil 14.0@102, .86g’s which is very close to the ecoboost numbers as well. So the turbo 4 Camaro auto is lighter than the V6 Mustang auto by 200 lbs. The V6 Mustang auto weighs 6 lbs more than the Turbo Mustang, as per Ford. The real killer of all this is the V6 Camaro auto, which will rip all of the above, manual or auto. You should be able to get good discounts on the 2015/2016 Mustang V6. The Camaro will sell closer to list since it is a new model. The advantage of the Turbo 4 Camaro over the V6 Mustang is that it's easier to upgrade performance, just by reprogramming the chip for a higher boost/hp.
IN ADDITION: Also see this article, which only compares HP and not torque figures, in which the 4 cyl Camaro would whoop-ass the V6 Stang on the base model. On the midrange model, the Camaro does have a HP advantage but the Mustang has more torque, but loses that proposition by being heavier, and we already know the V6 AUTO Camaro pulls a 12.5 1/4 mile. On the V8s the Camaro will whip the Stang....and even the base Camaro SS will keep up with a lucious sounding base GT350 in the track, on the street, at the autocross and at the strip, but at more than $10,000 difference.
