Introduction

Arriving four years late to the pony car party, the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro was rushed into production after Ford's stunning success with the original Mustang. Now, 40 years later, history repeats itself. With nearly 200,000 Ford Mustangs sold after a 2005 retro redesign took the icon back to its 1960s roots, Chevrolet can't afford to ignore the sporty rear-drive coupe segment, and the bowtie boys are planning a return as evidenced by the Camaro concept car the company trotted out at the 2006 North American International Auto Show which foreshadows a production car to arrive for 2009.
