The Mustang isn't due for a big horsepower increase until 2009. If they get the Camaro out the door in '08, GM will take a significant market share for muscle cars by doing so and maybe become a frontrunner down the road.

A sneak attack on Ford is quite plausible and will make the Camaro a much bigger money maker.
Sneak up on Ford who kept on selling the Mustang and laughing all the way t the bank? I don't see how that 'strategy' will fool anyone... The Mustang has always been lacking in HP from the Camaro and will continue to do so IMO. Of course I'm talking about the normal showroom vehicles like the Mustang GT vs Camaro Z28.
