For decades, these two pony cars have pitted it out, through thick and through thin (let's breeze over the Camaro's break and the Mustang II)

Which pony car has the ultimate special edition or performance package?

Ringmasters...What would the ultimate showdown consist of? (Not necessarily the fastest, just the coolest.) What two would you put in your dream garage?

In my opinion, it would have to be an Agent 47 '67 Body Mustang versus a 1968 Camaro RS 327 (Bumblebee TF4 style)

I'm always sketched out by any Mustang with a Blue Oval anywhere on the car...sign of weakness haha. BUT THE COBRA R. That thing is insane. And if that IROC-Z was a T-Top...

Dunno bout the Mustang yet, but the Camaro in my garage would be a 1970 Z/28 RS

360 hp, 380 tq, 350 cubes. Split bumper because ultimate sex.

It's the most attractive Camaro ever produced. Period. This is not debatable.

My first car was an '85 V6 coupe because all I wanted was an IROC but I could never get one

Still keeping my eye out for that IROC

Raised on a diet of Mustangs, so i'm pretty predisposed to dislike Camaros, despite superior engines *shrug*

My favourite mustang is more of a catalog option, the FR500

On this generation, to be specific. Young me loved it when it came out, older me still has a soft spot for it's 400+hp bored 5.0 modular, lengthened wheelbase for 50/50 balance, and rear calipers scooped off a Lincoln sedan

Great in depth write up by C/D here

I'm not much of a RWD guy. The only one I've had was a V6 88 T-bird. I like the hatches and lightweights.

That said the split bumper camaro era in their 70's I like all the way to the IROC. And up to the fox body mustangs. ( which you have already excluded the mustang II).

I really quit liking a lot of things after mid 90's. I totally dig the 80's styling, astetics, angles, & 80's of it.

It would be pretty hard to beat the 302 & 429 Boss Mustangs, the new Cobra Jet drag Mustang and the Shelby GT 500 SuperSnake for special edition or performance packages.

I'd like to see the factory built Cobra Jet and the Shelby GT 500 SuperSnake compete against some of the newer special performance factory Camaros. (I don't really know what Chevrolet has for factory built Camaros to compete against those Mustangs, so I can't name any myself.)

I'd put a Cobra Jet and a Shelby GT 500 Supersnake in my dream garage, then start saving up for an Eleanor Mustang with a Nelson Racing 427 twin mirror turboed stroker & 6-speed transmission....
