ince the late 1960's, the muscle car has been loved and enjoyed as a simple and powerful car that is not intended for just any average driver. One of the earliest and most successful companies in the muscle car making game is Chevrolet. Chevy has been producing potent V8 engines since the 1950's and this gave them a huge advantage in the muscle car world. In 1966, Chevy debuted the new Chevy Camaro in response to Ford's new Mustang. Both cars became wildly successful and the rivalry between the two cars created a cult following on both sides. In drag racing, trans-am competitive racing and in the simple road car versions, the Camaro and the Mustang have a rivalry that continues to thrive into the 21st century.
After the first release of the Camaro in 1966, Chevy opted for new designs for each generation of new Camaros. After the fourth generation Camaro, Chevy decided to again change the car's look. This new design, however, would bring back the vibe of the original. In 2010, for the fifth generation of Camaros, Chevy designed a retro-inspired Camaro following the original lines and design of the original. It had a bold, aggressive attitude about it and became an instant success.
