    One major difference that should be accounted for. The new Camaro got its "Soul" from Australia and the 68 got its "Soul" from Motor City Michigan.

    ’68 Camaro is heavily modified just to keep up with a stock 2011. Anything can be modified. How much money you got and how fast do you want to go? You’d never get a stock ‘68 to run that good.

    Both cars were modified (one more than the other). So I vote for the new Camaro simpy because it was a tied on everything but the engine sound. I actually like the agressive purr of the modern Chevrolet engines (LS3, LS7, LS9, LS-A, etc) instead of the vulgar thrashing noises of the old Camaro (it was supercharged, maybe the exhaust was too). New Camaro FTW!

    @obscuresword They're similar because that '68 isn't original, they even said so in the video. The originals though fast their 0-60 times were between 5.8 and 6.2s and had 1/4 mile times of anywhere in the mid 13's and high 14's. But I agree for some reason cars today have no charisma I mean these new camaro's are definitely cool but the cars of the muscle car era had something that other cars today don't.Personally my favorite year for Camaro's are the1978-1981 styles.
