The last 10% are the ones that will hit the track, do the mods, and test the platforms to the fullest. Unfortunatly, the automakers have to cater to the 85%, and the 10% have to correct the short-comings. The positive side is that the volume brings down the price, and brings out the individual interpretations of what is the "BEST" Muscle Car.

I am one of the upper middle age group, and I will not be modding my car for more performance, but as you can see I have modded mine to enhance the looks of the car... That being said, I guess I am in the 85% catagory and don't mind it a bit.. I am glad that those that want to race and mod for performance can do such and I am sure as more Camaros and 2011 Mustangs are sold more and more along with better performance enhancements will be coming forth..
