Who would win: 67 Jaguar or 2012 Camaro?

I would only hope that this could be your 'other' (cruising) ride vs. your every day car especially since it's a convertible - I wouldn't want that bad boy subject to ice/snow and the body subject to de-icing salt.

Oh yeah, the Jaguar is way more desirable than the Camaro. Obvi. And yes, I agree it's a car meant for a weekend spin on the Sprain as opposed to every day Central Ave slugging.

What color? I don't know. What color do you like? (The Camaro is red).

I was very upset to read that. Thank you for apologizing.

European cars are designed for small, winding roads. Assuming drivers of equal skill, the 67 XKE would probably be able to keep up with the much larger and heavier new Camaro in your suburban street race scenario.

Sounds about right.

As for which Jag, which one is the convertible rag top? That one.
