My first love (car-wise, anyway) was my 1990 IROC-Z Camaro. That was hands-down the absolute BEST car I've owned, and I've had quite a few. I have always, and will always have a soft spot in my heart for Camaros, but I had to vote Mustang on this one. Simple fact, I think they look better.
Though, Chevy pushing back the release on the new Camaro from 2008 to 2010 (and now talking about not releasing it at all) kind of turned me off of it. I will admit when I first saw it in the Transformers movie, I fell in love... but also found myself loving the Decepticon cop-car "Barricade" (the Saleen Mustang) quite a bit more.
I also kind of think that Chevy dropped the ball in trying to "retro" out the Camaro. Seems they're just trying to copy the success that Ford had with the new Mustangs (and to a lesser degree, the Dodge Challenger). I still hold a little hope that it will actually go into production, but I also keep thinking they really need to make a sister car from Pontiac, and bring back the Trans Am too.
Basically, as a lifetime fan of F-Body cars, I have to say I would still spend my hard earned money on a new Mustang before I'd buy a new Camaro.
