Why is there a Camaro vs Mustang rivarly?

This rivalry between Camaro fans and Mustang fans is very annoying. I don't understand why most people feel obligated to hate on a car because of the emblem that's on the front(and trust me, that's all that fuels this rivalry.) Just because one person prefers fords doesnt mean they have to hate chevys and vice versa. Am I the only锘?one who thinks both of these cars are awesome?Why is there a Camaro vs Mustang rivarly?
In the 1960s (when both cars were introduced) car maker rivilry meant more than it could ever mean today, if you ask me. Foreign cars weren't a big player in America yet and cars were still very distinctive back then because being aerodynamic (which forces a certain wind-tunnel shape to everything) for fuel economy didn't play such a big (or any?) factor yet either. The car companies themselves fueled some of the rivilry because that's just the nature of business, or neighboring schools, or you even see it with neighboring states or countries... it's human nature to an extent too.



But back to these cars... if you look at their histories on wiki, you can see they were actually made to compete with one another in many ways, not only in features and looks but in market audience or demographic as well. I don't think anyone really switched sides (between Ford and Chevy) because of these models... my guess is that fans of either maker stuck with defending their own.



Personally I'm like you - I loved them both... for the same reason too - they were powerful, cute, sexy... they both had it all really. Lots of people probably loved them both, but getting them to admit that in public might be a tall order. The "side picking" never really went away.Why is there a Camaro vs Mustang rivarly?
It goes way back, it is not just Camaro VS Mustang, it is Chevrolet VS Ford.

As far as the choices you mention, I don't like either of them. I will just keep my Miata. Because the Detroit sports cars are unbalanced, and over weight.

Now, Ford has always built the better car. However the Chevrolet club has plenty of after market parts. Which a Camaro needs unless it is one of the unfindable top end models. So the Camaro starts with a handicap and the owners invest lots of dollars into getting a car that will keep up with the Ford counter part.

You don't mention the one I have my eye on, the new SHO. I owned an 89. Nobody messed with it more then once. Even super-charged cars gave up. Boys with NOX were happy till the bottle went dry, then my tail lights were all they could see. You should have seen the look on those guys driving Ninja motorcycles when I out pulled then from a dead-stop.

In short, Camaros and Mustangs are for boy racers who don't know a good car from a great one.
