First - WELCOME The only thing I ask is you remember this is a CAMARO site I'd be careful with this statement, though, because it's a double-edged sword. If you ask me, though, it's hard to argue. Were it not for Mustang, back in '64, we wouldn't have gotten Camaro. However, Camaro doesn't own everything to the Mustang. It is a GREAT rivalry and things just got VERY interesting.

I like Ford. I own their common stock.

But, by that same logic, you can say that the 5.0 would not have been out unless there was competition from the Camaro.

Also, I can honestly say that I see that the 2010/2011 Mustang took some design cues from the Camaro. For example, the coke bottle shape retro look, the blinkers that are now in the grill next to the headlights, the raised mohawk cowl induction thing, and more agressive grill.

Of course your welcome! The first step to recovery is admitting you have a mustang! lol My brother is a Ford fan and it's fun going back and forth. I want them all around. If they weren't we'd be driving Prius's

I don't think the Mustang would be the great car it has evolved to without Camaro and the Challenger, among the many others. Good point.

That statement is debatable. The car which came to be known as the Camaro was being developed before the Mustang came out.

Wasn't it moved from the then-going-to-be Chevy II/Nova?

Ya i think that each car feeds off of each other but i dont really see the challenger contributing much the srt8 is in the price range of a gt500 and yet its competeing against the SS and GT
