camaro fan boys on this Mustang web site keep saying they want a return of the 4th gen camaro it was there favorite. there probably the same ones gm asked about the 6th gen car. Well lets look at sales of the 4th gen camaro and the Mustang during the 4th gens life time.

camaro Mustang

1993 39103 Fox body 114335
1994 119799 SN 95 123198
1995 122738 136962
1996 61362 122674
1997 60202 116915
1998 54026 144732
1999 42098 166915
2000 45461 202990
2001 29009 169198
2002 41776 138356

So Mustang killed off camaro with 2002 the last year of production because gm wouldn't spend money on a car that wasn't making them money. And with the deep discounts on camaro and universally panned refresh looks like its headed to its second death.

From a performance standpoint in stock form, the Z28 and SS killed mustangs from 93 to 02... by 2002 GM was loosing money all around and had to cut certain models in order to save money.

Garbage Motors had nothing on the 2000 cobra R.

My dad still has an 02 SS he bought new and id still take it over the 5th or 6th gen as well. My main gripe with the new ones is interior space. They are nicer and more refined just as the new mustangs are nicer than my fox. But i can live with the new mustang interior space. The inside of 5th and 6th gen camaro is way too cramped imo.

This thread makes no sense at all. I honestly don't understand some of the pure Camaro hatred and the desire for it to go away from members on here. Like seriously, what has the Camaro done to negatively affect your life?

As we've seen with the 6th gen camaro higher performance doesn't translate in to sales.

Valid point, not to mention camaro’s have always been butt ugly.

Let them vent, it makes them feel better about themselves.

I still see myself checking out a nice clean WS6 if I see one on the road.

I don't really hate the camaro but the uber blind camaro lovers won't face the facts the Mustang is the better car hands down. camaro has almost always been the better performer and in the right hands can kick the Mustangs ass in racing but people don't buy race cars for daily driver. And the sales numbers show America loves the Mustang and camaro is just a tool. You need to watch A Faster Horse to be able to understand why I'm so passionate about Mustangs.

So what I’m getting out of this is the Camaro will be more of a collector since there are fewer of them?

The 82 to 92 Camaro's were soooo much better looking then the fox bodies it wasn't funny. Still a good looking car even now with its long low profile(gee like the mustang now..) I owned an 86 Iroc and a 25th Anniversary. Loved both cars.

Really 4th gen? I'm it's hideous unless in Trans Am form but even that doesn't withstand father time. 1st and 3rd was the best cosmetically. Which to me makes up for most sales. Majority of buyers don't give a crap about performance specs.
