Until the most recent incarnation, I haven't like camaros since 1981, but I love the new ones. As far as the entire spectrum of years, Id have to go with a '701/2 split bumper camaro as my favorite. I like TA's as well, just not as much as camaros. Mustangs never did anything for me. They're kinda like *******s, everybodys got one.
Comparing among the vintage models of the three, they're all so awesome that I can't choose. Comparing among the modern "throwback" models... same problem! At various points along the way, I could probably choose one or the other (Mustangs during the 90s, Camaros during the 80s), but when you take them at their peaks.. it's just too close for me to call.
Tough poll, I like the '69 trans am, have owned several mustangs and would love to have a 70 1/2 Z28. Count my vote 1/3 on all 3 then let's talk about the other cars on our "short" lists!!
Once upon a time, a small used car lot in my hometown had a MINTY 1980 Turbo T/A for sale. Black... Had the big gold Thunder Chicken on the hood and everything. Had a Turbo...305? Or was GM the 302?
Either way...my dad was "toy car shopping" at the time. I let the salesman know that. And before I knew it, he let me have a little test drive.
I was 17 at the time.
The car was very nice. A show-winner, actually. (trophies accompanied the car)
But it was slow. Seriously. My dad's '80 Vette, which was heavily neutered due to the waning of the gas crisis stuff, would've thumped it handily. And the Vette wasn't all that fast.
I LOVE the old stangs and the new ones. Especially the Roush and the Cobras. So my vote went for them. I wish I had some digital pics of my old Camaro though.
1983 Camaro Berlinetta with a swapped 350SB, 600cfm Holly carb, 350 turbo w/ shift kit, zero back brakes, no speedometer, and no exhaust past the hollow catalytic converter.
She was cherry red, pristine inside and out, and you could hear me coming miles away!
