Ford takes HP, on a yearly basis, one on one, more personally than GM. Since the Camaro can't fight on two fronts successfully and has a front runner with the 1LE without any doubt in it's class..make one and make it the best. The Vette is the halo car, with the expendable income crowd to sustain its growth and sales, not the Camaro crew. The ZL1, Z/28, 1LE should be combined for the next beat down Camaro.

This HP battle isn't nearly as important to GM or Ford as the fight for sales. And on that front the Camaro does just fine against the Mustang. Obviously there is a rivalry and some very educated and proud people on both sides that work very hard to create the best car they can. However, throughout the history of these two it's not often that the one that wins at the track wins in the showroom. Despite what our rather small enthusiast flock likes to think.
