It will come down to a test drive. I am not, repeat, not going to pay GM MSRP for any of their cars. If I do like the Camaro, I may have to wait until the initial rush wears off...so pricing comes back down to earth.
I have a feeling I can deal for a Mustang GT.
Anyway..is the Camaro SS REALLY gonna be faster than the GT? Honestly?

No BS, Stock for Stock The SS is going to out perform the GT. I'm sure Ford will step up in the near future. But for now, SS is the winner. Now you have to decide is the better performance worth more money. And that puts you squarely in the target market for both manufactures. They are fighting their guts out for you and the millions like you. GM is hoping that you will see the value added and pay a more to get more. Ford hopes you will see the bottom dollar savings as enough to offset the lesser performance.
Also, GM is trying to steal prospective GT V8 buyers with the less expensive V6 Camaro... A big gamble on GM's part. We'll see how it plays out.
But, make no mistake. You, Sir, are exactly the guy they are fighting tooth and nail over.
