Aa ok, makes sense

I was just curious since you said the mustang looked better

Ironically enough, the Boss has exactly 800 units more, though 2 cars were Cougars (that had the Boss 429 engine), in 1969 anyways.

In 1969, the Boss had 869 cars built, 2 beig Cougars. The Camaro ZL1 had exactly 69 cars and I'm pretty sure most of them still exist.

The problem with these cars is that they are incredibly easy to replicate.

Someone's been watching Fast N' Loud. :p

I don't have cable. Never even seen that show before :lol:

I've known about the Cougars for years. Both were drag racing cars, factory built similarly to the Lawmen Boss 429s that pumped out 1,200 horse stock. In 1970.

The Boss 429s are actually very difficult to fake, because they had a unique Kar Kraft serial number (i.e. KK #1599).
You can make exact look-alikes, but it was very difficult to make one exactly the same as a real Boss 429.

As for the ZL1, I don't know much about those.
 
You can't fake the numbers correct but you can fake everything else with a little knowledge and some fabrication.

Plus you can buy running reproduction Boss 9 motors but they aren't cheap.

Unless someone goes snooping for numbers you ain't ever ever going to know the difference. Honestly I would be quite happy with a replica.

Easily the Cavalier. It looks better and is probably better (not that that's saying much).
 
That one's hard. I don't care for either, but I think I would actually choose the Chevy. There's actually kinda something I like about it. Both would be decent with some work, though.
 
That only model Cavalier I like.

In this case, the Spirit. If they were both completly stock, I would choose the Mustang.

Edit: Never mind. I choose the Mustang anyways. It looks better imo.
 
I actually couldn't decide. I would likely take the Mustang but that AMC is looking 🤬 sexy.
 
I'll take the AMC, then put it on Craigslist, get it sold (because someone will buy it) and use the money from it for a down payment for a Subaru BRZ, and some goodies if I have any cash left.

Boss '9. That thing would 🤬 on a ZL1. And ZL1's are NOT slow.


I love Camaro's don't get me wrong, but the Boss 9 is one of my absolute most favorite cars in the world and there is no way in HELL I would ever take the Camaro over the Mustang in this circumstance. If I ever took a Camaro I would never hear the end of it anyways.




But Hemi engine. The Boss 302 motor is fantastic in it's own right but this is just :drool:

I know nothing about them, but in my homeland smaller is lighter, lighter is slightly faster and therefor better. But if you say the 429 is great, it must be, you know those things. You should really watch Fast n' Loud somewhere. It's a great show.

Small american hatchbacks

Ford Escort GT. In Europe we're more connected to the Escort.

AMC vs. 'Stang.

I want to like that AMC because I find that Mustang ugly, but I can't. So this time that Mustang wins.
 
Ferrari 330 GT vs. Aston Martin DB5 - DB5, the 330 GT is kinda ugly.

Ford Mustang Boss 429 vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - ZL1, because ZL1.

Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 vs. Ford Escort GT - Escort, it looks better.

AMC Spirit AMX vs. Ford Mustang Cobra II - The Mustang. Cobra IIs aren't that bad...but they're still bad.
