Camaros and Mustangs have gone at it since their conception. Mustang has the second longest consecutive running nameplate behind Corvette.
G.M. along with poor sales dropped the Camaro from the line up thus breaking that string.
Today is a new day or is it ? G.M. once inovated performance in most every field but some strange approaches are taking place and the results aren't looking all that good.
The Camaro struggled out of the gate. Yes, they are making them but note the posts of customers anxiously awaiting theirs. In my area, no Camaros are on the lots for sale while 5 Mustangs and 2 Challengers are on lots in my small town. Asking a dealer when a Camaro would be in if ordered will give you a less than confident answer. If the facility and means exist in Canada to produce the car, where are they ?
In NASCAR, next season, the Nationwide series will begin running Mustangs and Challengers. G.M. won't allow the Camaro body and racers will use the same Impala SS. How many Impala SS cars do you see on the road ? Not people's idea of a performance car. Seeing Mustangs and Challengers race can sell cars and build pride.
Ford showed a profit last quarter while boasting they didn't take any TARP money and the public is obviously taking notice.
What I'm saying as a G.M. loyalist and Camaro loyalist is, it certainly seems a strange way to become solvent again considering the minimum advertising of the Camaro and the absence of cars available to dealers.
Two known examples in my town are guys wanting Camaros but giving up and buying available Mustangs. Several have put blowers on them and run in the low 12's. People will be patient only so long.
I'm sure I'll be hit with the usual apologists who can explain away everything I said but facts are facts. Let's get going G.M. !
