Which would you buy-1995 Mustang GT or 2000 Chevy Camaro 6 cyl?
I have my eye on both these cars. The Mustang GT is a V-8-red and 5 speed, loaded @ 130,000 miles. The Camaro is a 6 cyl silver automatic, loaded, with similar miles. I am retired but miss my sports car days :-)

Nothing special about the GM 3800 Series II six in that Camaro. Given the number of miles, I would bet that Mustang has been ridden easier than the F-body. Especially since it's a five-speed. Fewer joy-riders to jack around with it.
If it is an early model '95 it will have the classic 5.0L motor, which will be closer to what you remember from your "sports car" days. The 4.6L engine has more top end, but needs more finesse to launch. You'll be able to tell from the intake.
Well, If a sports car is what you want, A V8 car will probably be more satisfying than any six popper. Plus with the 5speed, you can really enjoy putting the power to the pavement. So my vote is for the 'Stang!!
I would buy the one that is in the best condition as determined by a mechanic. These cars have lots of miles and probably were driven hard. Therefore, the more important that they be inspected by a mechanic.
