I remember when I got my 03 Cobra all the Camaro guys were complaining that "Ford had to use a supercharger" blah blah blah... Guess if you can't beat them, join them...

Here's a quote from Edmunds.com about the history of the Camaro. "Chevrolet's Camaro (and its sister "F-car," the Pontiac Firebird) was hardly an original notion — it was a blatant GM rip-off of the Ford Mustang. But just because it's stolen doesn't mean it's a bad idea."
Mustang II, while not a bright moment in Mustang history did outsell the Camaro easily the first year it was out. 385,000 Mustangs to 151,000 Camaros. So, Ford was laughing all the way to the bank on that one. Also how can you bag on the Mustang II when the Camaro was so bad in 2002 that they stopped making it..
How about 2005 Ford creates a "retro" Mustang and they sell very well.
Jump to 2010 what does Chevy do???? Copy the Mustang again with a "retro" Camaro...
Another example. 2003 supercharged Cobra.. Spanks every Camaro ever made with the exception of the original ZL1... Camaro owners cry foul about "Fords supercharged engine"... What? The new ZL1 has a supercharged motor??
I completely agree with you on one thing and that it is a great time to be a pony car fan. Just give credit where credit is due.
