*VIDEO* Muscle Cars: Camaro vs. Mustang

Computer Program Races Future Versions of the Camaro and Mustang The things they can do with new technology! Testing the performance of classic American muscle cars before they've even been built! Pete April 2006 (Medialink) - In the muscle car world, there may not be two bigger names than Mustang and Camaro. With the Camaro re-introduced as a concept car at this year's Detroit Auto Show, comparisons to its old rival were inevitable. But there was no way to truly test the concept Camaro versus the Mustang... until now. Motor Trend magazine used a car simulation program that can predict and analyze vehicles in real time, real world conditions. Using data about future versions of the Mustang and Camaro, the magazine pitted the cars against each other side-by-side on a slalom course, a figure eight and in a standing quarter mile drag race. The virtual race is the cover story for Motor Trend's May issue and readers can also download the 3D simulations on Motor Trend's website.
