Pros/ Angry V8 growl, spacious sports car interior, classic Mustang looks
Cons/ 10-speed auto jerkiness, poor fuel economy, disappointing handling in lower trims

2022 Ford Mustang vs 2022 Toyota GR Supra Comparison
When I was growing up, my best friend’s mom had an all-white Fox body Mustang. It was the coolest car on the block.
Did I care that the 302 V8 pushed out only a little over 200 horsepower? Or that the four-speed auto was slow? Of course not. I savored any opportunity to ride in the GT, the V8 rumbling in a way I could feel in my stomach.
Here in 2022, Everything old is new again, and Ford has given the Mustang an ’80s-inspired Ice White package. Horsepower has more than doubled—and the number of gears, too. Befitting its cruising status, this car runs Ford’s 10-speed automatic. I’m a kid again.
There’s nothing retro about the Toyota GR Supra. (Okay, the badge is ’90s cool.) While the Supra has finally gained a (very good) manual option for 2023, this fifth-generation model has been an auto-only affair since it arrived in 2019.
