Why not start with the base GT (MSRP $29,645) vs the base SS (MSRP $30,945)? These are the prices the average Joe could slip behind the wheel for.

Kudos to Ford for offering the starting price $1,300 clams less than the 2010 SS and that gap is likely to grow when Chevrolet announces the 2011 pricing.
The extra cost is most likely the independent rear end. Ford tried that some time back and it was so expensive, no one could afford them. The extras in the Camaro are worth it...Mustangs don't have interior trunk releases built in standard On-Star systems or even a status center that gives compass directions and outside temperatures. My 2008 had the same air conditioning controls I had in my 1990 Mustang GT. For crying out loud...they still have a prop rod for the hood.
