LOL... My answer below..
1. Ok, yes there is build up demand for the camaro especialy now that it is back on the market. But when you say "Camaro demographic" that is more than just 5th gen camaro owners Mkay.
2. It is the very first model year, obviously Higher performance versions comes after the initial release. When they come, usually stuff trickle down to lower trim levels which make them better. Was it not the same with the 2010 Mustang "track pack" that was items used on the GT-500. "lounge Lizard"?? a bit extreme is it not. Comparing a base 1SS 2010 camaro with no options to a 2010 Mustang with No options, Which one would be the "lounge Lizzard"??
I don't think your using the Lizard term in the right context
I garrantee you your average Camaro enthusiat (key word) cares alot more about handling than you average Mustang Enthusiast
Then thats going to be one disappointed Camaro enthusiast.
who for the most part ONLY care about drag racing, Hence the desire to keep the simplicity of the SRA. Of course the average OWNER of either the mustang or the camaro wants a cheap spoty ride that is pretty quick and looks good. But the demographic of the enthusiast of the camaro and mustang are:
Camaro Enthusiast: Drag racing and Track performance. (a combination of both)
Well you did say that this isn't the 5th gen enthusiast, it is the Camaro enthusiast as a whole... So would you say the Generations of Camaro's are good road course cars without serious modification?
Mustang: Drag racing and thats it. (why do you think the hardcore mustang fans DO NOT WANT a
n IRS.)
Serious Mustang fan's seem to value drag racing over everything else... but again that could change in the immediate future because of how capable the new Mustang is at everything else
GM fanbase as a whole do care about handling and it reflects in the products. Ford fanbase only cares about Drag racing.
Yes... GM fan's aren't happy unless their car hits 8 minutes on the Nurburgring......... 
. Is that not why you can buy a Mustang built from the factory ready for the drag stripe. (forgot the name of it.)
Yea... but Chrysler does that with the Dodge Challenger as well... and that car is built on an IRS Mercedes platform which is has more float than the Camaro's
