We drove a $33,000 Ford Mustang and a $38,000 Chevy Camaro to see which was the better entry level iconic sports car - here's the verdict

The EcoBoost turbo Mustang.

• Ford and Chevy both offer entry-level versions of their iconic muscle cars.
• The Mustang has a 310-horsepower EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the Camaro has a smaller 275-horsepower motor, also turbocharged.
• The Mustang was the clear winner in this contest.

Ford and Chevy have been locked in a battle for muscle-car supremacy for decades.

Ford's Mustang arrived in 1965. The Camaro landed in 1967. The fight hasn't let up since.

Both carmakers 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.

We tried the turbo Camaro in 2017. More recently, we jumped behind the wheel of the turbo Mustang. Here's how it all went down.
