I've always liked the 70-1/2 Camaro best. Especially with the original, understated rear spoiler. The gen2 was GM's most successful Camaro ever.

Thats my favorite camaro of all time as well.

I know that I made fun of the mustang. I must say that it is a good looking car - a nice black one outside my office right now. Looks really good. I like the front end. I realize the back is a throwback design..... but, it just doesn't work for me. Looks awesome on that 1969 Mach 1 though.

[QUOTE=SpeedIsLife;8984051]The Mustang's slant is supposed to be a modern take on the slight slant the 69/70 Fastback's had. They didn't have a vertical rear end panel, it was canted about 15 degrees forward.

That's one of the best looking mustangs for sure. The 2013 tried to copy it and came close. 70 Boss / 2013 Boss 302.
However the school bus yellow ( below ) not my color. Too loud.

The '15+ Mustangs did a better job of mimicking it. The taillights on the '13/'14 look great, but that chunky rear bumper kept me from getting a Boss.

When I see a Challenger my eye it drawn to how high it sits and the skinny tires. It looks like it's on stilts.

Kinda True. I much prefer the new Mustangs looks, but after driving both I want neither. I'm too shallow to compromise looks for numbers, and as this is my Summer fun car only, unwilling to settle for a car that doesn't perform noticeably better than my current car. Only problem is, I've now owned my current car longer than any car in my history.

I'm not sure whether it's the headlight design or the large mouth bass grill. I couldn't really ever get behind the early second gen (71-73) Camaro. I appreciate the car for it's distinct styling, but all I see is an Alfa Romeo-esque front end where, in my head, they couldn't figure out how to synergize the pieces the front end.

That being said the car is a definite icon. I still prefer the first gen to this but when they look as nice as in the post above it's hard to hate on it.

As for me I prefer the S550 style compared to the cartoonish Camaro look. Especially from the back. That said I prefer driving the Camaro day to day. On a long trip though, I prefer the Mustang. It is a better CAR overall. The Camaro is more fun to drive.

And also to me the 5th gen Camaro is a a better looking car, but the CA6 is more fun to drive as well. I would also prefer a 5th gen on a long drive. Those boomy harsh runflats are annoying and the car feels a bit cramped.

I agree that it is all a matter of personal taste in terms of styling. I like the look of the front of the new Mustang well enough. I can still see Mustang, but the current Ford styling gets a nod as well. Pretty clean looking. I HATE the back end, though. The way it is slanted just looks awful to me. Blech. The other thing that I think looks weird and bad is when behind a new mustang, the rear wheels look like they are way out to the sides only under the fender flairs (sort of). To me it makes the car look very insubstantial and cheap.
