I disagree. The Mustang came first and started the whole "affordable sports car" thing. The Mustang came first and for several years there wasn't even a Camaro until the fifth gen. Mustangs soldiered on and remained popular regardless of whether the camaro was competing or not. Sure, the Camaro vs. Mustang debate is a huge deal in the muscle world. Yes, it's competition keeps the cars alive, but Chevy hasn't the same dedication to the Camaro as Ford has to the Mustang I feel.
The Mustang set the standard and then the Camaro has been trying to meet or exceed it for years. |
The Camaro came out in 1967 so I have no idea what you mean by that statement. A generation is a notable change in the design of a model. Mustag first gen was 1964 1\2 to 1973 the 5th gen Mustang is 2005 to 2015. The Camaro was introduced during the 3rd production year of the Mustang.
Mustang in that time had Shelby Camaro (and other Chevies) had Yenko. I'll bet until reading this you haven't heard of Yenko.
The Pontiac GTO 64,65,66,67 looks 1000% better than either the Mustang or the Camaro. As well the 1964 GTO which until 1966 was a package of the Tempest was the first true affordable sports/muscle car and a stock 64 GTO would murder a stock 64 Mustang. The same man who destined the Delorean thought up and designed the GTO. Of course MOPAR was arguable the first to produce a purpose built high performance engine when they started experimenting with thee HEMI in the 1950's.
You don't know very much about Trans Am racing that much is clear as well.
All you have shown is that you are a fan boy of certain makes yet think that people who are fan boys of the competition are wrong.
People who actually own a Bugatti I find it very doubtful shop at Advance Autoparts.
I'm a car(and machine) person but I find the complete history of cars interesting. So I find a 1967 Shelby GT 350 as interesting as a 1970 Freightliner Dual Drive cabover. I enjoy the history and the technology.
