It would feel to me like Ford Screwed the 2010 buyers. What do you guys think?
Also I see a lot of people hoping Chevy ups the Camaro for 2011 for bragging rights but that would make the 2010 less valuable, I hope they keep it the same.

There is no screwing of anybody here. Ford has had the 5.0 in the works for years now. All Mustang fans had to know this was coming. Some thought it would be last year, however it simply wasn't ready yet for release with the new body style. The Camaro might get a power boost in a few years from new parts, hoses, different muffler setup. Ofcourse the LS4 is coming soon I presume, probably the same year the new Vette comes out. We all didn't get screwed at that point who purchased these first two or three years. I bought a 1998 Ford Mustang and did not complain the next year when they redesigned the body and gave it a little more power. I was happy with the car I bought which lasted over 11 years and is still kicking. If you are the waiting type who always waits for the next best thing, you'll be waiting forever. The Mustang in its current 4.6 liter form has been around for quite sometime. Everyone knew they needed to match or surpass the Camaro in order to compete.. SO that is whats happened. A brilliant marketing strategy if you ask me since the 5.0 with a lighter body than the Camaro will be more agile, nimble, and faster. GM has its work cut out for it if it wants to compete come next year if the numbers for the Mustang are 0-60 4.3 seconds for example...
