Yeah, they were great cars, all 69 of them. Problem was, noone wanted to plunk down $7,200+ for a Camaro back in '69.
Oh, and it was only 430 Bhp and 450 pounds of torque, which is "under the 600" you mentioned.
WOW!, how did I miss this post, its about muscle cars First off, to come on hear and crack Ford is ignorant, period. I still consider myself a GM guy, but looking at the current products, its not even close IMO.
Now as far as nobody wanting to plunk down over $7K back then for the COPO cars, well, you really need that "special handshake" or "password" at the door to get one and those who may have had the money didn't know or it was too late. Looking at what those cars were going for last weekend at the Barrett-Jackson, I wish I had a time machine and huge car hauler 
Now for the good stuff, the HP ratings! All the cars back then had "advertised HP ratings". If they were to list their true numbers noone could've gotten issurance. For instance, the Hemi with 425 hp, yeah right, do you really think anyone with an automotive brain thinks an engine with 426 cubes, 12:5:1 compression, dual quads and a host of other perf parts "only" puts down 425 hp, come on now The same holds true for the rare L-88s found in the Corvettes, they too were "rated" at 430 hp, but in reality, they were closer to the 550-600 region! Not to leave Ford out, how about the 427 found in the Thunderbolts. Yeah, they may have only made 250 of them, but that motor had to be in the area of 600 hp too.
As far as the Camaro vs. Mustang, well, thats over since the Camaro has ceased to exsist and has now been replaced with EVO vs. STi, man how the times have changed! It would've been nice if they'd still made the F-bodies, but if they stayed on the road they were heading and had to compete with the new Mustang, it would be utterly embarrasing, hand down. I just drove the new 05' Mustang yesterday, for the birthday, and theres NOOOOOO doubt what my next new car is going to be, another Ford, make that TWO in a row, sorry Dad!

seriously who does this guy think he is. come onto our forums and badmouth our cars, ford, and our IQ(childish). he is a disgrace to car enthusiasts everywhere. yea ur precious camaro could probably take us in a drag no prob.. but thats all its for to take to the strip occasionly then leave it to sit in the garage until u decide to drive it again. we bought our cars because they are stylish, comfortable and quick. put ur camaro up against one of the modded turbo/supercharged contours (heck even a stock SVT) on here to a road circuit and we will hand u ur a** no prob and then drive it to work the next day. take ur hot headed camaro punka** and get the F*** outa here.
