What really is your reasoning? motor wise, with a NORMALLY ASPRIATED V8 with more than 6 liters, it is FAR more of a competitor for the SS, It doesn't have the SUPERCHARGER of the GT500 or ZL1 and falls nearly in the middle in price between the SS and ZL1, though the camaro doesn't even offer as many features as the SRT8 comes with stock...... It is really a more feature laden competitor to the SS than the ZL1 or GT500, it far and away, has more in common with the SS and GT.

haven't this been proven false a million times? The SS competitor is the R/T, they are even priced identically. You can't get a SRT-8 starting at 31K, but you can get a R/T and SS at that price point which goes up from there depending on features, which would still be identically priced, same with the Mustang GT. The fact is dodge brought a knife to a gun fight with it's entry level V8 R/T, its as simply as that.
edit: The 2SS is basically top out at 36k, there is not much to add unless someone wants the overpriced 4.5k 21" wheels for the bling factor.
