   The straight 6 was a good engine and the Camaro was a good looking car.   
   Don't forget the Camaro was GMs answer to the Mustang. The Mustang was a   
   glorified Falcon and many of the original generation shipped with the   
   anemic 170 ci six. The 250 ci 6 in the 1st gen Camaro was a step up. It   
   got the job done.   
      
   I had a '73 Mustang that had more power than it knew what to do with.   
   Worst winter car I ever owned. It needed a couple of dead bodies in the   
   trunk for weight, but the trunk wasn't big enough to fit them.   
      
   When Ford shrunk the Mustang to the Mustang II abomination I switched to a   
   Camaro, then in '82 to a Firebird because I really like hatchbacks. I did   
   not like the new V-6 though.   
      
   Trust me, the 6s had enough meat to get a ticket anyplace in the country.   
   Good for me New Hampshire had no reciprocity; anything that happened   
   outside of NH stayed outside of NH. That really pissed off Maine. They   
   could suspend your right to drive in ME but not touch your license.
