Race driver Sam Posey evaluates 1968\u2019s best American \u201csedans.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Camaro and Mustang first met on these pages in March of 1968, but the clash was part of a six-car showdown\u2014and they finished fifth and sixth, respectively. We knew the two cars had more potential than the relatively wimpy cars Detroit had given us for that test, so for the July issue that same year we invited both to send us the hottest they had to offer. We had the cars delivered to Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, where we met up with Trans-Am wizard-driver Sam Posey.<\/p>\n

The Lime Rock pit straight is a wavy, gray blur. Up front two roaring Holleys are trying to suck a hole in the at\u00admosphere. “A 7000 rpm redline? Christ Almighty, it’s gonna burst.” But it doesn’t, and Sam Posey snaps the shift lev\u00ader into fourth at seven grand as the speedometer climbs past 110 in one of the absolute wildest street machines ever to come out of Detroit. No question about it: we’re in the middle of one of the most beautiful goddam road tests in the annals of mankind.<\/p>\n
