They let GM show their hand and then they reacted, that's not the same as catching up, not even remotely close. There's no spin here, it is what it is. The Camaro came out after an 8 year hiatus and Ford responded, no catching up involved. I can't explain it any clearer than that. Had the Camaro been in production from 02-09 and Chevy had upped the ante each of those years and Ford responded, that would be catching up. You cannot play catch up when there's not an adversary to catch up to.
After gm stopped making the 2002 Camaro SS, it lasted 8 years of being faster or about the same speed as the mustangs that followed lol. Sure gm didn't sell it but regardless it was still faster or just as fast, so ford just caught up
