Why DIDN'T you get a camaro?

She's a beaut, Clark.

I prefer 1st and 2nd gen Camaros to Mustangs. After that, Mustang all the way.

Could be had with a IRS rear if you were chummy with the right people

I'd have had a challenger scat pack if they were available in Australia. I love the look of that car. The camaro is too wannabe sports car. I wanted a muscle car.

I'd take a Smokey & the Bandit T/A (or similar vintage Camaro) over a '78 Mustang II any day of the week.

I just don't notice any change of being able to see when driving my 2021 LT1. I guess years of driving C6's and a 7 did that to me. I just don't notice a change.

Yeah, Gen 2 Mustang really should be stricken from the record. I would allow GM the same with the Gen 4 FBody.

Because I could get a semi-comparable Mustang for $12,000 less than the Camaro.

With that kind of money, I can more than makeup the difference in performance and still have money left over.

There’s an episode of Star Trek Voyager where there was an old Camaro. One of the characters looked at the name and pronounced it “cam-err-oh”.

• 1st gen Boss 302 Mustang over 1st gen Z28 Camaro here (AAR Cuda over both of them, though)
• 3rd gen Camaro over Fox Mustang. Camaro over Firebird.
• 4th gen Camaro/Firebird over SN95 Mustang, as long as I never have to touch the engine or deal with Optispark
• S197 over early 5th gen Camaro
• Boss/Boss LS S197 Mustang and 5th gen 1LE Camaro . . . toss-up. 5th gen Z28 over both (and yes, I'd be just fine daily-driving it)

6th gen SS/1LE and the Mach 1, no clear preference yet

On the 2nd generation cars, the Camaro always seemed too big and too heavy (~4000 lbs in the case of a friend's 402-powered '71), and the Mustang II was really just a bigger and softer Pinto (which BTW could be made into a solid sport subcompact long before Honda got into that game). No real Mustang/Camaro preference.

To be fair, accountant have as much (if not more) to do with the final product as the engineers. If I had an unlimited budget and no rules to follow, the MikMobile (Trademark held by MikCorp Automotive) would be the greatest car ever built.
