Default Motor Trend tests 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 LS

A decent article comparing the ZL1 to the Boss LS.

Here is a Car and Driver article too.

I read the MT article, pretty surprised by the review. I figured they would whoop on the camaro related to handling and its weight, surprised on the negative feedback they had on the Boss;however, the real test will be with the new GT500.

It is so cool to see the Camaro getting back into this fight and going full throttle.

Good for the Zl1....

Too bad the correct match up is the 650 HP GT500 though.

Even more sad that the correct match up for the BOSS is the Z28...that Chevy wont build.

I disagree. The real test should have been with the 2012 GT500. The 13 GT500 is going to be like the 12 ZL1 is to the boss.
