When Ford launched the Mustang in April 1964, it unknowingly fired the first salvo in what would become known as the Pony Car Wars. General Motors, unwilling to let Ford go unchallenged, fired back with the Chevrolet Camaro in September 1966. The 1967 Camaro met the Mustang in terms of performance, looks, and handling, yet the Ford dominated the sales charts for a decade.
While the cars would jockey for the title over the intervening years, the real winners all along were the enthusiasts. Competition, as ever, improved the breed, with cars that now boast more power and performance than ever could have been imagined some five decades ago.
