The Mule is cool but being the former owner of a Motion Performance 69 Nova,you know where my heart's at.

I will say this " the old Motion Supercars are the baddest and my all time favorite Supercars" no question. Mark Hassetts 68 , Steves old 69 and Kevin S yellow 69 are AWESOME.

Two different cars. El Mule, which I love (but would still do things differently in the rear suspension, shameless plug), is one man's vision as to what a special car should be. Mark did an amazing job, and my vote is for that car, over the other. Function, subtle elegance, and enough business to stand apart.

The other, as pretty as it is, and it is one bitchin machine, wasn't one person's vision. It had a young illustrator, several folks with lots of money, and too many ideas trying to fit into one package, it just didn't work in my opinion. Not to say that SEVERAL elements completely blew me away, but the end effect looked a bit off to me. I still loved it, but in the world of the "look at me" cars, there were several at SEMA that outdid this car, at least in my opinion.

My vote? Lateral Dynamics "Lateral II," which, of course, isn't built yet. I'd take the Mule, and drive the poop out of it, which is what it wants. Bring extra tires, and brake pads.

Motion all the way

I have not seen either car in person.....

These are my thoughts from pics

The motion car is nice ahs a lot of things that are real cool and a few things that look like an after thought but an all around cool car that defines the name motion....

The mule also a nice car, how could you not like the powertrain....however if it was sitting in a parking lot next to 4 other camaros at a car show would you go up and look at it?????? maybe, maybe not

The motion car has the wow factor

The Mule has the clean look

I will have to vote for the motion car!

I agree with Mark. "Mule" is a well designed vehicle and follows fit, form and function. I also think the Motion Camaro has too many eggs in one basket. I realize Motion cars have been over the top but this one tops them all.

Funny enough, if I had to pick, I'd probably want the Mule. I enjoy simple and clean.

The Motion Camaro was designed mostly to appeal to those who are into the old Motion cars. They were over the top, gaudy, but fast as hell.

The Mule and the Motion car are on completely different levels I think. The Mule is all about function and is packed in a clean package. The Motion Camaro is about staying true to past offerings, while fitting into the current market.

I like em both.

I think the mule for sure. Mainly because of its power and stance. If it had a different set of wheels say iForged or HRE or something like that then it would surely be the better car even at a car show.

All in all both cars are awesome.

Hmmm...Let me think about this..

Depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want a car that would dominate at shows and drive from time to time, or a car that you can and would want to beat the snot out of. With that said. Me personally, I would say the Mule. What it comes down to it, it is pure function and as we know, very well executed. The Motion car is a work of art. The imagination, craftsmanship is unbelievable. I still can't get the picture of the rear quaters out of my head. Metalwork was pheonomenal. A few minor things I would change, but we are all critics, right?

Now let's stir it up alittle...

It's kind of like comparing the Johnson Cuda and the Ring Bros. Mustang. The Cuda is a work of art and kicks your ass just looking at it. But at $750,000 would you really want to beat the snot out of it. Where as the Mustang, still not cheap at $200K, IMO is more functional & most can relate to easier.

I have to agree, the wheels are a little bland for my taste.

Hey Charlie, let's put some bling on the Mule. I saw some killer 26" wheels with spiners at SEMA that would look killer on it!
