The Chevrolet Camaro – Born to Race
The Chevrolet Camaro arrived in September 1966 for the 1967 model year with a singular purpose: to destroy the Ford Mustang. That was not corporate hyperbole — General Motors executives literally said so internally. What emerged from that competitive pressure was one of the most celebrated and beloved sports cars in American automotive history, a car that would spend the next five decades engaged in one of the great rivalries in all of motoring: the "pony car wars" between Camaro and Mustang.
