That was fast.... But the only downside is how ugly they are.

I never understood that, the mustang outsold the camaro throughout the eighties yet the camaro looked better.

And they both performed pretty similarly as well.

Don't get me wrong, an old first gen fastback would be awesome to own, but the looks just weren't there in the eighties. And the Mustang II needs quite a bit of work to look good as well.

Different strokes for different folks, especially when it comes to appearance. Performance numbers are irrefutable on the other hand.

I will admit mustang guys seem to overestimate their output for the most part. Local guy has cobra and was hoping to put 600whp down when he got it tuned; made a touch over 400...

Sorry for the hijack, I have a tendency to do that.
