From the sales numbers it was a one-two punch which knocked out the Corvair. First the Mustang, then the Camaro took it's sales away.

The 0-60 times are about image and perception, as most of the cars of those makes were the base 6-cylinder models.

Hmm. That AutoZone chart describes the same 0-60 mph time for both the normally-aspirated Corsa and the Turbo version, and the turbo engine was rated at 40 HP more (180 vs 140). Massive turbo lag? Could be mitigated by a special launch strategy.
