The timeline's I've read say Camaro development really began in '64. Can you
provide an online reference?

I am really looking forward to the new Cobra. I'm going shopping for one
tommorrow. The SVT team has done a kickass job on this one; Eaton
supercharger, 6-speed, Bilstein shocks, 13" brakes, better frame bracing.
It's no Cobra R, but they have basically made a Saleen S-281 without the
body panels.
