The original Camaro design was in 2006, but no one knew how the engine was going to perform. Early estimates put the Camaro in the 12.6-.8 range of the 1/4 mile, and look where it ended up, the 13.1 (13.0 with a very very good driver).

Not saying nothing the Camaro did pushed the new 5.0 in some ways, but the current Mustang as we see it was already on schedule just when it launched was uncertain.
