I used to think it was just my personnal opinion because I am a Camaro owner. Then I read all these magazines and they all seem to agree.

Lets start at the beginning....the Camaro was born in 1967..Chevy already had the Impala and Chevelle but they needed a pony car challenger to the Mustang...which was already 3 years old...did'nt really have much to offer in engine options and horsepower until Carroll Shelby stuffed that 428 in one, gave it some style, and then you had a real muscle car..before then it was like the Thunderbird, only small and sporty...something for the young people to drive...but the Camaro came with the 302...you could get 350 or 396 cid V-8...you could also stuff the 427, 454, or 502 in there...the aftermarket 454....even a 383...if you want....Camaros were lighter and faster...with more horsepower...even it's Pontiac twin, Firebird was weaker without special modifications...after the 400 and 455...what other choices were there available to you?.....The 69 Camaro to me is the baddest of them all...only the Charger was more irrestiable and that car was heavy...swerving all over the place...even with the 426 Hemi...even after the pollution laws hit, Camaro kept the Z-28 going with that 350 option....while the Stang became the Mustang II in 1974....it did'nt regain conciousness until 1986 or 88...the 5.0 emerged but did'nt become a serious contender until Roush, Saleen, and SVT got to tinkering on those babies....I have to admit that the Cobra R is bad to the bone...but when Ligenfelter or Calloway gets a hold of a late 90's or early 2000's Camaro....there is no contest...sharing engines and basic components with Vettes....all the cars need are upgrades...Mustang has no other shared platform...Taurus? Focus? Thunderbird? Fairlane?...Mercury is gone..no Cougar...GM has Pontiac and Chevy as well as Cadillac to experiment with...well, they did until 2002...as far as the Camaro and Firebird are concerned.....Right now, Mustang has the limelight with their GT500 but soon, the Camaro SS and Z-28 will be back to reclaim the throne as true American muscle...more bang for your buck.

basically, camaros suck :), you can't get much more american than a mustang, camaros will always be in the corvette's shadow and because of that,they will never be as popular as the mustang, for the most part though, it will usually be personal opinion, if you have a camaro you're gonna favor them and the other way around with mustangs; obviously, just if you couldn't tell, i have an 03 mustang and wouldn't think of swapping it with a camaro!

Camaro's aren't better? hahaha waht are you talking about...Mustangs probably one the best selling cars of all time. There are probably 10 times the amount of mustangs on the road from 1983-2007 then there are camro's....Camaro's suck....

Camaros are so good they quit making them years ago because no one bought them anymore because of the 'falling apart' factor.
