“Mustangs are awful” “Camaros are superior”....I’m laughing. Baseless, unsubstantiated and childish. Mustang made the cover of the magazine the author works for and paid the author’s bills this month. He can email Ford and thank them later. The author is the typical Chevy kid...SMH. The spiteful outcast with the “oh yeah!, well...” childish attitude. There’s one at every party. The author is the lone camaro parading by an ocean of Mustangs at a show on a Saturday in June. With arguments that don’t hold water, harkening back to a day 35 years ago when the Camaro(Whatever that word means) was performing better and a Phoenix that never rose from the ashes. Go for it, hang your hat on that tiny hook, Bumblebee and a dead bird if you like. Comparing Don Yenko to the likes of Carroll Shelby, Steve McQueen, Steve Saleen, Jack Roush, Chip Foose....again, laughable. McKeel approved this?...really? As far as “externalities”...one cannot “evolve” without external forces. The author’s words. Being a scientist and gear head, the correct terminology for Chevy’s (caught with their pants down) car, would be “clone”. The author snidely quips “pricey one-offs”. The name of the article is “25 Best Mustangs”, right? What was the expectation here? Hey Ol’ Dave, you’re going to have to come up with better arguments than those...good luck. Until then, I’ll hang my hat on the aforementioned automotive titans, millions and millions of production numbers, heritage, legacy, mustang club numbers, racing pedigree, countless tv and movie appearances, staggering auction prices, race car drivers, a 50th ann’y badge that means something, Eleanor, Wick, Sean Kiernan and yes, Bond. In the meantime, try slamming your other thumb in the door of a Yugo(see if it feels as “democratic” as a Camaro) and get to that ‘thank you’ email to the late Lee Iacocca. Taillights, indeed...Tri-bar taillights.
