	Great Rivalries: Chevrolet Camaro vs Ford Mustang Forty years ago, during the heyday of the Trans-Am series, Parnelli Jones and Mark Donohue--the fathers of the drivers we're lapping with today--raced previous editions of the Mustang and the Camaro against each other in one of the most contentious rivalries in motorsports history. Donohue was killed during practice for the Austrian Grand Prix in 1975, but Jones is still around, and he hasn't forgotten or forgiven the hostilities of 1969. When PJ told him that he'd be testing a Mustang against a Camaro driven by Donohue's son, Parnelli said, "Make sure you kick his ass." Mustang versus Camaro has been the most volcanic battle in the Ford-versus-Chevy war that's defined the American automotive landscape for much of the past century. The Mustang arrived first, staking out the pony car high ground in 1964 and earning boatloads of easy money during the two and a half years it took General Motors to respond. When the Camaro finally debuted, it inevitably was cast as Avis to Mustang's Hertz, and it's tried harder ever since with hotter engines, snazzier styling, and a host of other touches. more CLICK TO READ MORE | CLICK TO SEE PHOTOS		Preliminary Testing Shows 2011 Chevrolet Volt May Get 230 MPG City According to GM, its extended-range electric vehicle is expected to get 230 miles per gallon (25 kilowatt hours per 100 miles) in the city. more First Drive: 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster This may be Nissan's first graceful convertible. more 2010 Porsche Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo Cayenne and 911 genes mixed by Zuffenhausen's blender. more 2008 Lexus IS-F - Four Seasons Wrap-Up What does the F stand for? more
