That would be awesome, but remember muscle cars (Camaro, Mustang and Challenger) start at $23K-$25K. Cadillacs start at $40K+ so some of that increase is superior paint finish that a wealthier person would desire.

Even the $50K Shelby 500GT has crap paint (built on same assembly line as $23K Mustang (?) ). It could simply come down to the number of clear coat layers or thicker layer. The more layers, the less orange peel. Idk
