LMAO unless Chevy royally screws the pooch I dont think they will have a hard time besting the new Mustang. (you could even debate whether the new Mustang is any better than the current gen Camaro).

Um, considering the Camaro wasn't even in production when the S197 Mustang platform was released don't you think it should be the other way around? In fact, if it hadn't been for the S197 would GM have even brought back the Camaro? Ask yourself, why did GM quit producing Camaros in the first place? This argument could go in circles all day, but in the end it was Ford and the Mustang. If Ford hadn't developed the original Mustangs back in 1965, would there even be a Camaro today? I know, highly speculative right?

I'm not knocking GM or the Camaro, no arguing they can be really fast. The 1LE, ZL1 and Z28s are proof of that. I just think it's funny that so many people make this claim that it's the Mustang always playing catch up to the Camaro when in fact, historically one could make the exact opposite argument.
