On the other hand, the Mustang was “more like a nose-heavy
musclecar from the ’60s.” While they found the engine response
to be “phenomenal,” and the quarter-mile blasts “one hell of a
ride,” once they took it to the high-speed handling course the
Ford “reveals its ancient origins (’78 Fairmont), and composure
disappears quickly. Handling can be downright scary at high
speed, as the front end lifts, and suspension motions wig when
they should wag.”
So, in the end the Camaro won, right? Not so fast.
“Strictly as a performance car, the Camaro wins hands down,”
they wrote. “It is nearly as quick as the Mustang, looks great, and
handles in a class by itself.”
(And speaking of a class by itself, the Ninja ZX-10, a “pure
‘works’-bred superbike tuned for the street,” ran 11-second e.t.’s
“for well under 10 grand.”)

The Mustang, by comparison, “is showing its age,

but it comes up lacking only because the Camaro is that

good in the handling department. Against mere mortals,

the Mustang shines.”

So the Camaro did win? Nope. In the end, it came

down to money.

The test cars were in the editor’s hands before either

maker had established pricing of the new models. “An

equivalent ’89 Camaro would have listed for nearly

$19,000,” they wrote, and weren’t far off from the 1990

version. A Motor Trend test of a 1990 IROC-Z listed

an as-tested price of $19,086. An equivalent ’89 Mustang

LX 5.0L, on the other hand, was “around $13,800. On the

CC Grins-Per-Buck (GPB) value scale, the Mustang looks

like a winner.”
