Ford and Chevy have for decades been locked in a battle for muscle-car supremacy.
Ford's Mustang arrived in 1965. The Camaro landed in 1967. The fight hasn't let up since.
Both automakers offer big, powerful versions of their flagship muscle cars . But they also know that not everybody wants a massive V8 engine, which is what makes a muscle car a muscle car. So they offer less stonking versions of the 'Stang and the mullet-mobile, each with a turbocharged powerplant.
OK, they aren't really true muscle cars they're more like mini-muscles. But they are lots of fun, and given advancements in technology, they are not at all underpowered or unimpressive, even if they ultimately aren't as rewarding as proper muscle cars.
We tried the turbo Camaro last year. In 2018, we jumped behind the wheel of the turbo Mustang. Here's how it all went down.
