I can say my vote is not a leg humper vote. lol. Mule is a well sorted out purpose built vehicle and Charley has the W2W receipts to prove it. The Motion Camaro's are being built to sell a name and there will be multiples of the same vehicle sitting in several collections. I agree that many of the concepts in the Motion car are the next evolution, but the overall package is not for me.

Now a better comparison IMO would be Johnson's Cuda. It is a equally over the top car like the Motion car but has a purpose other than money. I don't know the Johnson's and would have to pick the Cuda in that vote.

Da Mule.

The sheetmetal mods and interior on the Motion car, while displaying awesome craftsmanship, kinda gave me...well...Motion Sickness.

The Mule,
There's just something I don't like about the Baldwin-Motion camaro. The Mule looks like I could drive it every day, practical and real. The B-M is too much show for me.

Mule for sure. Motion car is nice, but I wouldn't ever own a car I couldn't drive. I like Stielows builds because they are straight to the point, good clean cars with crazy engineering.

Probably not, but I'm wondering if the responses would be any different if the Motion car was on the ground instead of on that stand that tries to show off the different angles of the car. Not only was it raised in the air, but one side looked lower than the other.... just wonderin'
I do like the Mule if I had to choose, probably because I've drooled over it for so long, and some of the things done to the Motion car just look strange, like the rear of the car. Maybe it will take some time to get used to... no questioning that the detail on it looked incredible...

Enough said for me.

Red Witch / Thrasher
Mule
Big Red

I would have to see a head to head Road and Track style test to determine which one......................better yet, I wuld have to perform the test Myself.

Hey Charlie, can I borrow the Mule for 20 min track session?
