Yep, camaro offered a hell of a package and not to mention a lot of pent up interest in a car that was gone for 8 model years will do that.
I don't really think Ford was "robbing" people of HP, they were offering what was needed at the time bc there was no real competition, they even offered a 500HP GT500 in 07 when there was literally no other hi-po competition. We all know they didn't develop the coyote in one year, so they knew/had a dam good idea what the camaro was packing and within a year responded to it.

True! And I know that it's kinda hard to determine how much HP is enough without competition.

Ford had the SVT Shelby model out by the end of 2006. that was 500hp.

Well , you did bring up the years where the mustang was the only muscle/pony car to get . So while it was impressive , it wasn't really that impressive because you would expect that so this is why I think that the 5th Gens 500,000 sales was impressive . Because it was against competition. See what I'm saying? And yea , it definitely would've been nice to see how the two would've sold if both had came out together.
I know about the SVP models but I was talking about the GT's.
