The return of both the Challenger and the Camaro means Ford is gonna do something to improve on their car. Ford fans win out in this. Competition pushes others to come up with new stuff and the consumers (while we pay for it) get better cars usually.

In the end, no matter what. The return of the Camaro and the Challenger is good for us all.
Considering in a pony car vacuum Ford gave us the Terminator(which was actually on sale at the same time as the '02 SS),Mach 1,Shelby GT,'08-09 Bullitt and a 500HP GT500....all produced with no competitor. Actually having to step up to some competition gives us the track pack GT and a 540HP GT500,so yeah,competition is going to make it nice to be a Ford fan for the next decade.
