Mustang GT competition

Camaro is all about the performance, but Mustang is far more refined, especially in their third and fourth generations. Tbh, I'd even go on to say the Camaro was more of a Thunderbird competitor at the time; likewise, the Cougar = the Firebird. The Thunderbird had its issues, though; far more luxurious than both the Monte Carlo and the Regal during the '80ties, and then those two GM cars became FWD (unfortunately) by the '90ties. The big-boy Mark VII and VIII overlapped with the Buick Riviera and Cadillac Eldorado, as Lincoln was an in-between "luxury" brand (same with Chrysler).
Camaro was huge for a sports car at almost 200 inches long.

I inherited one of these 1994 Mustang GTs from my parents. I sold it in 2014. I had driven many miles in the Mustang GT and even tried autocrossing it once. I found it to have a reliable engine with good low end torque and nice styling. Pretty fast for its time, but not as fast as the V8 Camaros and Firebirds.

Since I recently drove a 1994 Mustang GT across the U.S., I will give some impressions: it is still quicker than most cars on the road up to about 90 mph (I had the occasion to pass a lot of cars on the highway), still smooth and reliable, still understeers a bit too much on onramps, and the rear only stays planted on smooth roads. The newer Mustangs (especially 2011 models) are much better, and many family cars nowadays have more high end horsepower, but the 1994 still has satisfying low end torque and is amazingly reliable. I have always done the maintenance on my dad's car, and it has never had any of the issues which plagued my Jaguars and Corvettes.

My father owns one of these. We used it briefly for Solo II competition in 1997 or thereabouts. Too much understeer going into corners. Bumpy corners made the rear skid sideways into oversteer. Plenty of low end torque made it fun. It still drives very well today and has had excellent reliability.
