I purchased 2 new vehicles in 1998-1990 and they both sucked, left GM for foreign until 2009 and I have been lucky so far.

This is true. I know of the issues faces by the Camaro and GM engines, but by this time most of them are well known and have TSB's out for them. They are now "old hat" so to speak to the general car buying public. The problems with the 5.0 are just arising now and as such (since most of the car buying public are a bunch of fickle mushheads) the newness of these problems and news of them will turn a few potential Stang buyers towards GM''s showrooms. For the most part most people buy a car based on what the most recent magazine they have read says about them. If the reports speak of knocking issues and unreliability in the new stock powerplant they may just go elsewhere.
