Big words coming from a big company. With the release of the 2016 Chevy Camaro planned in just a little over a month, Chevy is dishing out some strong disses in regards to the Camaro vs Mustang battle that has spanned, and will continue to span, for decades
 

When Fox News asked GM’s VP of Global Product Development Mark Ruess if the new Camaro will outperform the new Mustang, he gave a pretty bold answer: “I”m confident. I’m very confident.”
This coming after Ruess drove both the 2015 Mustang and 2016 Camaro test mule back to back, giving his feedback on both in terms of power, handling, and efficiency.

 Though, he may be a little biased. And in regards to technology, Ruess admitted there will be “some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Mailbu, [or the] CT6.” It all sounds pretty promising.

One of those new technologies will be the 6.2-liter LT1 V8 found in the current Corvette, which puts out more power than the Mustang GT (455 vs 435), and likely a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a naturally-aspirated V6. Of course, none of that will be officially confirmed until the official release on May 16.
The anticipation is killing us.
