The point I was making, and still am making, is that all Ford can do to compete with the Camaro right now is throw out more gimmicked up Mustangs. Instead of actually trying to combat the Camaro, they're just throwing a bandaid on it..

You do have a point on the age thing. It does take more to make a model going into its 8th year seem fresh when competing against a model that is only entering its 3rd year. If the Camaro where allowed to go into year 8 with few visual changes, it would have the same problem at that time.
However, I wouldn't call the V6 Performance Package (now Mayham package...I don't like the new name either) a gimmick. It is a serious handling package that includes summer tires, the GT suspension and brakes, and a gear option for those who want improved handling (actually better handling than the GT because of the weight advantage), but don't want to have to pay for the V8 or suffer the fuel mileage penalty. I think the Camaro LT could benefit from such an option, instead of just giving them all a "touring" suspension.
