As the year progresses, we can’t help but be excited for the release of the 2020 lineup this fall. Car manufacturers are releasing more and more about what their newest vehicles will offer and how they will stand out against the competition. Impressive speed and power upgrades are the theme for 2020, with the 2020 Ford Mustang leading the way with enhanced performance abilities across its lineup. While the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro features engine and model upgrades, the 2020 Ford Mustang features an impressive performance package that will take the base level Mustang to a whole new level. And the new addition of the Shelby GT500 will leave the competition in the dust.
2020 Chevrolet Camaro
Following along with the theme of power upgrades, the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro will feature the addition of a new V-8 model called the Camaro LT1 V-8 and an optional 10-speed automatic transmission on models with the 3.6L V-6 engine. The new LT1 model will start at $34,995 and will be a cross between the current LT (1LT trim) and SS models. It will come equipped with the 455 horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 engine that was previously only offered with the SS and will be available in coupe or convertible.

2020 Ford Mustang
Ford didn’t just follow the theme of power, they left the competition in the dust with the upgrades featured for the 2020 Ford Mustang. With the available 2.3L High Performance package for the base 2020 Mustang and the development of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, fast is taken to a whole new level at each trim level.
The High Performance package gives the base 2020 Mustang a power upgrade that we won’t turn down. The turbocharged 2.3-liter engine included with this package produces 330 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft of torque.
