I've read every post on here but the deleted ones.

I think everyone is missing the obvious points about this whole debate.

1. Without the Challenger coming back, would we have a Camaro? My opinion is NO. I think GM saw a reemerging market and went for it. Remember its about making money.

2. Without the Challenger and Camaro, do you really think that the current 5.0 would be the car that it is. Believe it or not its competitioin between the brands that make these cars better. The fact is that the Mustang was very stagnant for the years that the Camaro was gone. Dodge and Chevy made Ford get off their collective butts. My best friend who is a Ford fanatic is ecstatic about it.

3. We forget that we can steal some of the competition's ideas. I hang out on a local Mustang website(www.okdhm.com) for ideas. If we stay within our own little group we will become stagnant. Different groups approach ideas and problems differently.

These are just my ramblings on this subject and I will not have anything further to say about it. Feel free to bash me because I have thick skin.
