Let’s look back to the 1990’s, with the dulcet tones of John Davis and Motor Week, our delightfully retro guilty indulgence. The year was 1994: General Motors was selling the (pre-facelift) fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro, with it’s rakish profile and LT1 V8. Ford had just come out with the new SN95 Mustang, featuring smoother, softer lines and a generally morn modern appearance. However, as this was ’94, Ford fans still got the 5-Oh engine, rather than the later 4.6 Modular V8, which makes ’94 Mustangs a bit of an in-between model.
This Motor Week video is a bit different in that it’s filmed at Charlotte Motor Speedway, so we get to see these two pony cars duke it out in the typical 1/4 mile battles as well as around the road course. Enjoy all the 90’s goodness.

He obtained a bachelor's degree in Political Science at the Ohio State University in 2013, then pivoted from covering politics and policy to writing about his automotive adventures, something that, he says, is a lot more fun. Since that time, he has established connections with most of the world's major automakers, as well as other key brands in the automotive industry.
He enjoys track days, drifting, and autocross, at least, when his cars are running right, which is uncommon.
