That is very true and I totally agree. In fact, there is also the Challenger out there too (although those could be considered in a slightly different league given their characteristics). But when the Camaro was out of production there wasn't exactly huge leaps in performance like there is now.
Yeah, what's up with the Mopar, they haven't really done anything of note to the "Boat" other than adding huge horsepower options? Maybe it has to do with being the only non-SUV made today that has the interior room of a no longer available, Lincoln Town Car? I remember the good old days with bench seats and room for 6 or 7 in only 2 rows. We could even get 6 in our Torino that had front buckets. If Ford made a proper boat sized performance car, I'd buy it today!
Im not so sure about that.... Do you remember the 01 CobraR 03-04 Cobras, 05-06 Ford GT gt500 etc.? these cars raised the bar back then and Chevrolet decided to play again with the 5th gen. The Camaro Needs the Mustang Far more then the other way around.
Well the Terminators I know well and those were in the works to answer the Chevy's SS Camaro of the time (2002 SS's....which are still some of my favorite Camaros to this day). Don't forget the Mach 1's too, they were produced the same time the 03/04 Cobras were made. I would call the FGT more of an answer to the Corvette than anything else, but really it was more like a one off that Ford wanted to release and didn't really have a competitor. And have to love the Cobra R's. I loved them all but the last one was indeed my favorite but those came out while the Camaro was still alive and kicking. The GT500's of the time weren't really pushing boundaries of performance for the Mustang. It was more of a continuation of the Terminators, with of course a more modern spin (more power than a Cobra but also more weight to get moving).Im not so sure about that....

Please, Again Ford didn't stop innovating; Now ill give you that GM has accelerated that process with their "parts bins specials" lately, but that also has accelerated these cars to be far more expensive in such a short time period. At this rate with Camaro selling in such low numbers, I would be surprised if it lasted longer than 5 more years. People can say "no way" all they want but if the product isn't selling, then it has missed its mark. Remember the Camaro has died before only thanks to the Mustang did GM wanna play again, so you c6 members should be thanking Ford. One last thought, Al O should be fired!! This clown hasn't realized what sales cars, his and GM's thought process of LOOKIE ME!! LOOKIE ME!!, "Ill just borrow from Caddy and Corvette to make mine faster again"... that's such a Lazy approach and the market place can see through it as it shows in the residual values on used Camaros and especially a used vette, I mean look at Chevy commercials that bashed the F150 aluminum, you can see the inferiority complex Gm has.:lol:
Yet from a performance standpoint is more effective than Ford making bespoke items for the Mustang.
The paint sniffers at GM must a got a batch of Mosica Black paint that is missing on their cars. LOL
I'm not so sure its effective, maybe for certain metrics in performance, 1 lap wonders, harsh riding vehicles isn't gonna cut it, Look at the sales of all their Performance cars, If you wanna make money build a car that people will buy not what Camaro 5 wants.:lol:
