I don't understand the continuing fascination with comparing new GM product to lame duck competitors models among GM enthusiasts? The Camaro will never compete head to head with the existing Mustang design since that car will be gone by the end of this calender year making way for an early intro of the heavily revised 2010MY car. Roughly one year after that the Mustang adopts the new 400+hp 5.0L V8 and a six speed manual tranny. This gives the Camaro less than one year of head to head competition against the 4.6L Mustang, which makes any comparison against the same more than a little short sighted. But since that terms also appears to aptly describe GM's strategy for this new car I supposed that means GM enthusiasts are in lock step with their favorite brand?
As for the upcoming 400+hp GT. Specs looks like this....
5.0L DOHC V8 producing 400-425hp and 365-385lb-ft of torque
6-speed manual
as yet unknown specs for revised suspension and brakes (suspension similar to the GT500 goodies with improvements)
base curb weight: ~3550lb (or less)
Care to put any money on who is going to be faster around a road course?
