The V6 Camaro is superior than the after thought Mustang in every feasible way. It is basicaly a cheaper G-37 coupe. It is the base car that keeps production going, not the V8s. The camaro always had the better performing V8 cars, at one point in time I think chevy were selling the same amount of V8s as V6s in the 4-th gen camaros. The mustang has been around because of the base car sellin like 10 to 1 compared to the GT. Now that GM learned their lesson and made the Base car a truly execptionaly car within $655 of the joke V6 Mustang we shall see what happens. When those new powertrain comes out for the mustang expect a price and weight increase. Right now the mustang is about 300lbs lighter, than the camaro expect that to narrow abit. Wow it seem that some mustang loyalist are living on another planet and are inventing an artifical reality.

So I'm a Mustang loyalist because I drive a Mustang and acknowledged Ford's sales? Unless there's a 2006 Camaro or Challenger that I completely missed out on, that's a pretty big assumption to make.

I never said that GM hadn't taken a step in the right direction, however even if the car is only 600 bucks more expensive than the Mustang, it's still more expensive. I stand by my statement that the average car buyer won't really understand the difference in quality by looking at the window sticker because it's true. You're correct in saying it's the base model that makes the sales. My suggestion was that GM should offer a version of the V6 Camaro that is stripped down more than the current one (no IRS perhaps, or something along those lines) to get the entry cost below that of the Mustang. If GM could make a car in which the bare bones version is cheaper and better equipped, they'd have a much better shot at taking the crown from Ford.
