My observation has been that traditionally, GM and Ford do not want to make their V6 vehicles have super performance for the simple reason that it cuts into their V8 pony car sales. If the V6 is within a few 10ths of the V8 model, why spend the extra cash on an SS or GT? I'd be surprised if Chevy wants to spend a bunch of money to go after the few Ford V6 sales that we are talking about when they would possibly be reducing their own revenue by doing so. I don't see a business case for it. In fact, I think Ford is over expanding the Mustang line. They have to be at the point of diminishing returns. Who is sitting there thinking, "Geez, if Ford would just make <<fill in the blank kind of Mustang>> I'd buy one!"? I'd say not too many people! And the same goes with Camaro buyers excluding those waiting for a Z28 or ZL1.
