Typically partial to Fords, but I'll go with the Trans Am
There's something very smooth and "cool" about this one! 
And it looks like the mighty TA is taking the LEAD.

None of them really appeal to me, but the Mustang is the best looking.

I would take the Transam over the Mustang because
I had a '73 Camaro with Z-28 engine and my wife had a '73 Mustang Mach-1.
The hood on the Mustang would block out your vision on a hill when trying to go left or right on another street.
The hood on the Camaro sloped down giving excellent visibility in any situation.
The rear window on the Mustang was almost impossible to see out of while the Camaro was much better.
As for handling, the Camaro was great in the twisties and my wife spun the Mach-1 several times in rainstorms.
The Mustang had the more quiet interior.
As for power my wife and I would pull up side by side at about 70 or so and then floor them. The Camaro would quickly leave the Mustang in the dust.
When I sold my Camaro, it was to a guy who owned a stick shift Mach-1 with the 351 Cleveland engine. He had many drag racing trophies and couldn't wait to get his hands on my Camaro after I took him for a ride.
