Ford keeps increasing the horsepower BUT they also keep increasing the pricetag. Also they are desperate because the Camaro clearly is better looking than the mustang. Camaro has been outselling the mustang month after month. THEIR ONLY HOPE is to do something with the engine, which is why they did it. (they even put that tree of lights. they are seriously desperate. that is G___)

If the camaro had a "tree of lights" with a countdown to hit the gas pedal, GM probably would see a lawsuit if a kid dies. I hope they don't ever install that.

But you are right, that they SHOULD OFFER a "dragstrip" car that is also for the street.

A Camaro PRICED the same as a ZL1, But the focus is MORE on straightline performance. Call it the LS7 Camaro.
