Yep. I'd also surmise the Chally had a little hand in that as well. 1v1 (Camaro vs Mustang) they had a little more freedom to expand other options. When 2 of your competitors are boasting 400+ horses, it makes it a lil more "pay to play".

Well, under those conditions, long live the Chally and the Camaro if it gets me a better Mustang! If I were rich enough, I probably have 1 of each so I could say I love American muscle cars as a whole and really I do! But since the cash flow isn't there, I'll be happy with my GT/CS! I guess I'm just a hopeless dyed in the wool Ford guy!

Test drove a stock Camaro 2SS at Daytona Speed Week. I was very impressed with the acceleration, braking, and overall feedback/responsiveness in the suspension. Handling was pretty amazing for a heavy car. Hit 90 MPH in a "heartbeat" and scrubbed off the speed just as fast. The dashboard was a different story altogether. This, and the price of entry will keep me away.
