Ford has offered ambient lighting in the Mustang since 2007, so if you're inferring that the option is a rip off from the Camaro, you need to check yourself.

Or Porsches, Ferraris, and the ZR-1?
They're not exactly gas-savers and yet they all have six speed transmissions.

I think if the Camaro was coming out with a five speed and the new GT had a six speed you'd be all over us for it.
They are stronger. Whether or not they help performance is dependent on the gear ratios. I don't think you will find very many, if any, production cars making 400hp sporting a 5-speed tranny. There is also the issue of cost which is a mjor consideration when you are dealing with a car that is going to be produced in large volumes.
