“A small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs”, thats how Chevrolet described its Camaro. Chevrolet was in big competition with Ford and had to watch the success of the Mustang.

Ford’s response was it meant a type of shrimp, unfortunatly for Chevrolet the Mustang is still the fastest selling sports car in history but theres no denying that the Camaro was massivly popular.
