Since the Camaro bodies look nothing like a street Camaro, the fact that now a Ford Mustang will have a Chevrolet motor in it holds no interest at all for me. Pro Stock was/is built around true brand rivalry. (Kinda like a certain Buick GS Top Stock car, the fans were thrilled to see Mr. Rix still had Buick power under the hood rather than a Chevy) It may have been diluted some to this point though nothing like this change will do to Pro Stock. Someone mentioned the trucks and the lawsuit...
