It's not the same engine, and don't assume that the engine is more expensive just because it's newer.

I disagree, Mustang isn't just an affordable 2+2, it's more than that and long has been.

I agree here, the Camaro and Mustang are, in some ways, more different than they get credit for. Mustang is Ford's take on the same concept the 911 covers for Porsche in a less expensive car. To wit, it can and likely will cover a wide range of offerings in terms of price and performance.
