There is absolutely a hick quality to certain mustangs. Camaros are univerally driven by back-country sister-lickers.

I didn't use the internet to answer his question.  I used it to answer yours, DIO.

Mustangs used the 302.

I believe Camaros varied in what they used throughout the years. 305's and 350's were their engines.

Mustangs started using the 302 in 1967 if I recall correctly. But not strictly. The 302 V8 didn't become the standard v8 used in the cars until 1974 when the second gen's hit the road.

The second generation of Mustangs were an abomination.  The Mustang II's were an outright affront to liberty, justice and apple pie.

True...but remember that it was the age of the Pinto and the Vega.

Trick question.

Both the Camaro and the Mustang came with 302s (5.0l, this is why you always hear Stang guys saying something like, "That is a sweet five-o...") at one point. The Mustang had them all the way up to the SN95 body style, after they switched from the 289 in '67 I believe. The Camaro could be had with the 302 in 67 and 69 (Only with the Z28 package, which at the time, gave you no markings, just mechanicals), and while most people don't even know Chevy built a 302, it was easily one of the baddest Chevy small blocks of all time.

In December 1966, Chevrolet then quietly released one of the most famous options codes of all time, option Z-28. Unpublicized and unknown by most of the buying public (and most Chevrolet sales people for that matter) and not mentioned in any sales literature, the only way someone could order the Z-28 package was to order a base Camaro with the Z-28 option, mandatory front disc brakes with power assist, and the Muncie 4-speed transmission. You could not order the SS package, automatic transmission, air conditioning, or the convertible. What you got was a unique 302 cid small block (Non-California emission cars were labeled MO while California emission engines were labeled MP) that was created by taking the 327 block and installing the short-stroke 283 crank. Specifically designed to compete in the Club of America Trans Am racing series which placed a 305 cid limit on its entries, the Z-28 was available to the public solely to qualify the car for racing. Advertised horsepower was listed at just 290bhp, which was not very impressive until one hooked it up to a dyno and got actual readings of 360-400 bhp. The Z-28 also came with a competition suspension, broad racing stripes on the hood and trunklid and could be combined with the RS option package. There was no Z-28 badging at all, lest it attract to much attention. The Z-28 proved to be difficult to launch on the street because its high reving engine was lethargic under 4000rpm and worked best when it was shifted at 7500rpm (!). Once it got going, the Z28 was tough to beat and boosted a 140mph top speed and numerous racing victories. Only 602 Z-28s were sold in 1967, making it a truly desirable collectable
