The Hellcat crossed the quarter-mile finish line in 11.33 seconds at 122.76 miles per hour. The Camaro finished nipping at its bumper in 11.75 seconds at 118.93 mph. While the Camaro would likely win a rematch using drag radials, the fact the Hellcat can keep up with a Camaro ZL1 is remarkable.

Mustang GT vs Camaro SS Performance Between both cars, you’re looking at a reported 5 horsepower difference between the two pony cars. The refreshed 2018 Mustang GT is more powerful and faster than ever – and certainly gives the SS (and 1LE, especially) a run for its money.

Their racecourse test saw the Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe get clocked a full 3.3 seconds faster than the Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback (80.67 to 83.97 seconds). This might indicate that the handling of the Camaro is also superior to the new Mustang handling, but it could be all about the engine, too.

However, most importantly, the 2020 Mustang GT500 can hit 60 mph faster than the SRT Hellcat Challenger model.

On the Road. With nearly 200 pounds less mass and with a weight distribution closer to 50/50, the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE is just as quick as the Mustang despite making less horsepower. At the test track, it beats the GT500 to 60 mph by . 2 second, 3.4 seconds versus 3.6.

The Camaro is a great value buy if you want as much horsepower bang for your buck. If you’re looking for something with modern amenities like adaptive cruise control, the Ford Mustang is your best bet.

The Hellcat can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds, while the Demon takes 2.3 seconds to get there. When it comes to quarter-mile speed, the Hellcat’s is 10.9 seconds and the Demon’s is 9.65 seconds.
