Parity was back in the spotlight over the Sandown 500 weekend with the best of the Camaros looking like the faster package.
Fears of a complete whitewash, prompted by the rapid pace of the Chevrolets in practice, weren't quite realised, with six Mustangs making the Top 10 Shootout.
Come race day it was still an all-Camaro top five, although that was helped by the two fastest Fords in the early stages – the #26 Grove Mustang and the #6 Tickford Mustang – being taken out of the running in the same freak incident.
The Grove car, driven at the time by Garth Tander, shed a wheel at Dandenong Road, the rogue wheel then collecting the Tickford car and destroying its rear wing.
Ford is known to be pushing for another aero tweak ahead of the Bathurst 1000, with the front bar now the focus as it looks to shift the aero balance of the Mustang to the rear.
While that is not out of the question, it appears the focus from Supercars and its homologation teams Triple Eight (GM) and Dick Johnson Racing (Ford) is already on the future.
Autosport can reveal that plans for wind tunnel testing, most likely in the US, are already in the works for the Camaro and the Mustang.
