I'm not of a different opinion than most of what's been posted already. If I can afford it, I'll wait - I don't expect to see this car for so many reason (most are obvious). I'm just a little more enthused because if Ford can demonstrate there is a market, I think it will spur something for this car in the future.

Personally, I don't honestly thing SS will keep up in a straightline race. That car will put down as much (if not more) at the tire than SS is rated at, at the crank, and with both cars in about the same neighborhood, weight-wise, running similar gearing, I just don't see the math. That IRS may sap-out some more power too, as they usually are known to do. I'm happy to give that up for the sake of handling and ride quality though.

For me though, Camaro is so much more about a complete package. Sure, it doesn't have HUGE power, but it has a lot, and the content is great. I'm confident it'll run circles around any solid axle car and well, is just so much better looking. I can't wait to see what SS will do with a good driver on a track. I'm all about making Camaro as good as it can be, and if, and when the time is right, blow the 'Stang away in all regimines of competition. I just hope that this will keep any glimmer of a Z28 in the future, especially if Ford can make it work the the 500.
