Not when it comes to horsepower. After the GTO was released, all the auto makers scrambled to stuff a big engine in their mid size offerings. The largest V8 you could get in a Mustang was 289ci until 1966 or 7 I believe. They all targeted the GTO somehow.. the 442, SS Chevelle, Hemi powered Chryslers, Gran Sport...All born of the GTO concept. The Camaro and Firebird were the first cars that GM made to specifically target the Mustang. When GM started putting big block engines in those cars then Ford started doing the same with the Mustang. BTW, Take a good look at the styling of the 1968-1970 Dodge Charger..The split grille, coke bottle body design, fastback roofline...Looks like it was modeled right after the 66/67 GTO!!! I won't comment on the model T because it doesn't apply here.
