Its just two straight 4s glued together and it sounds as such.

Both great cars for different applications, Camaro for low down torque to snap you back into your seat at lower revs. Muzzie for handling and 1/4 mile.

If the Mustang can deal to the Camaro over the quarter mile, what use is all that low down torque! I like the sound of the Mustang!Tgray must have a bloody big chainsaw!

Like I said to snap you back in your seat at lower revs, mustang has vey little torque untill 3600. One thing about the camaro is it has stuck to its muscle car roots, Big cubes. Big low down torque. V8 sound not to four cylinders stuck together sound. Sounds tinnie at times - where is the resonable throaty howl of the magic 5.4 Ford put out years ago ! Latest mustang more trying to be a porsche than a muscle car - should really not have mustang badge on it !

They're the only way to go quite frankly.How well do you think it hauls vs a V8!

Each to their own but would not even look at a stang with a 6 - 6 cylinder muzzie prices reflect most think the same. Most want the V8 sound for one.

It's funny how people grope at negatives.
Noise is generated by acoustics. So 5.2 cannot possibly sound like 7 lts. One is a lumbering Big Block, and the other is a tweaked Small Block. Which really makes that exercise a dumb comparison.
Don't know why the "plane" argument came into it, unless the Camaro was a cross plane. The standard Mustang is a cross plane, but the Shelby engine revving out to 8200 is definitely a flat plane, otherwise it would pop.

What sort porsche V8 !
Guess whatever sound you into - mate got a old school 350 chev, owes him about 10k spent 40 hours porting and polishing about same time for the headers, isky cam etc makes both of those cars sound shite. Got have lumpy crackling sound for me - fuel injection etc etc smoothes lot of character out.
That camaro not bad though, needs more crackle.

928 I don't think Porsche made another V8. Porsche car club day about 2008/2009

Ok - lay a good patch - went in one when was 16 and my old man said it was a four cylinder on the quite, was his business partner who was out to impress as he overtook trucks near corners and such, as we walked into the pub I turned and said to him it goes pretty good for a four cylinder :)
They make a V8 for their cayneen for one (however spelt, 4wd model)
