Default What is a Camaro?

"A small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs."

I got that quote from Wikipedia. Back when the Camaro name was first introduced in the 60s, the automotive press didn't know what Camaro name meant and asked that silly question.

Camaro>Mustangs

I didnt find the punchline funny in the least.

Its like one of those jokes you tell to a group of friends and at the end everyone looks around to see if someone is going to laugh but no one ever does. Instead they make fun of the person who told the lame *** joke.

i pulled this off of urban dictionary. its entry #3

"One of the fastest modes of transportation known to mullet-kind. Also driven by poor rednecks who don't know any better and never will. Endless source of arguments about which sucks less: Camaros, Mustangs, or Civics."

in contrast, heres the definition for trans am. also #3

"Quite possibly one of the finest examples of ricer ***-beating known to human existance, the Pontiac Trans Am came fully equipped with 8 cylinders of raw american horsepower. When not blowing out Mustangs and Honda Civics, which can get to be a full time job, the Trans Am can be seen in local parking lots or anywhere there is a driver with some taste and refinement. Very popular with T-Topps AND super attactive women everywhere

Man, after a hard day of blowing out fords and imports in this sweet Trans Am, it good to have a girl blow me"
