"I can't see why I wouldn't"

Can I say: "If they made it, I can't see why I WOULDN'T", meaning that I'm not less smart then them, and I can make it too. Would "... I can't see why I COULDN'T" be better?

If they made it, I can't see why I wouldn't/won't/couldn't/can't.

This is a mixed conditional, and those all work in that sentence and are common utterances.
