Jeff I don't know about the 3 year head start thing between the Mustang and Camaro. MAJORITY of the people buying Mustangs today did not buy them new 41 model years ago. So the difference in the first three years would have no bearing on the brand loyalty issue. Where brand loyalty might come into play is it might be safe to say that more people buy Mustangs just because there WERE more sold new compared to Camaro so there is that thing of being able to identify with the car more because most people could say that they knew someone very close to them that had a Mustang new.

The thing about the Mustang being way under powered compared to the Camaro may precisely be the reason that people bought more Mustangs new. There car was not some uncontrollable powerhouse for it's majority buyer which is woman. Just food for thought.
