oh,i know we have the weight advantage for the 4.0L,but as a whole,a caddy powered Camaro with IRS and a 6-speed manual and auto is a pretty nice package. I think the performance numbers for the 4.0L would be closer than the Camaro guys would like to admit,but in terms of real world driving,the Camaro seems a better car.

This was already posted here about a week ago by Brad. Am I the only one who remembers this? I don't know where the thread went though????
The acceleration package and heritage performance package has me intrigued.

Check out this quote from this article, The Camaros Last Ride
"A 300 hp V-6 is going to cost a lot more to feed than a 200-something hp V-6. The figures aren't yet available, but the same basic 3.6 liter V-6 engine GM will use in the 2010 Camaro is currently in service in some other GM models -- where it gets about 16 mpg in city driving and 25 on the highway.
That's not awful -- but in a word of $4 gas, it's not acceptable, either. Not when there are literally a dozen other sporty two-doors available that are equally cute and fun to drive but which also deliver closer to 30 mpg. (Speaking of which: Ford reportedly will offer a high-efficiency V-6 as the base power plant of the next-generation Mustang, scheduled to appear in 2010."

Why can't they touch the V6s by Honda and Toyota? I say give us a 260-270HP V6 with 6 speed MT/AT that can give us 20/28. It can be done, the imports have em.
A friend of mine has a 08' V6 Accord coupe and i'm amazed by the combo of power and economy on this vehicle it is about as fast as a 99-04 GT with the fuel economy of a 4cyl Fusion! Im not sure of the exact specs either but this is a big car, I'm thinking bigger than the current Mustang!
This is something Ford can't afford to drop the ball on anymore. The base model Mustang needs to be a competitive car. I admit i will probably never be in the market for one but this is the big sales leader for the Mustang. It is easy to outperform the Challenger in all three trim levels but c'mon Ford needs to up the overall power and refinement of the engines in the Mustang lineup, I suggest getting this mythical "ecoboost 4cyl" in the base Mustang ASAP! I think Chevy has got the title for 10', lets hope Ford responds well in 11'.
