Short History of Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro Rivalry

These are probably the two most legendary American vehicles. They defined pony car class, and their rivalry lasts since the sixties. It is a fact that Mustang came before the Chevy’s model, which is the reason for Mustang fans to think that Chevrolet’s model was a answer to the high popularity of Ford’s first pony car. While Mustang was produced continuously since the sixties, GM came with a little pause from 2002 until 2009 in pony car production. First Camaro model was based on earlier GM’s sports coupe called Pontiac Firebird, another legendary GM vehicle. Ford’s model on the other hand was almost original, besides sharing some of the platform elements with Ford Falcon, popular compact sedan of that age.

Ford F Series is the most popular line of pickup trucks in United States for over 50 years. This legendary line came out in 1948, and it’s been sold continuously since then.

2016 Ford Raptor Overview

This meant to be the review of 2015 Ford Raptor, but in the meantime we find out that Ford is planing to drop Raptor’s 6,2 liter V8 engine for 2015 model year. So the only F150 truck that’s going to come out next year is the regular version, while truck performance freaks will need to hold on for another year.  Another more positive news is that the old 6,2 liter engine is not going to be discontinued, it is still going to roll, but as the petrol option on heavy duty trucks of F Series. There are also rumors that Ford is introducing a powerful 3,5 liter EcoBoost engine, so we might see turbo version of this truck in 2016.
