I'm not one to put up a biased defense if I can help it....but really, can you blame anyone here (me, too -- I've done it!) for tearing into the Mopar? It's a Camaro forum, after all!

I am telling you; there was no sitting around. I'll grant that they may have altered plans along the way as more info on the Challenger came out, but delaying the release of this car just so they could "wait and see" probably wasn't considered a good idea, given the timeframe they had to work within.

I think Dodge rushed their car to market. Which GM could have done; but I'm 100% glad they didn't.

*disclaimer; this is all me assuming things based on what I've been reading for the past two years. I haven't been told, nor was involved with any of the Camaro's development.
